Malwarebytes claim: IObit is stealing signature databases

well this thread may go on all night, but always keep in mind, there are 2 sides to every story.

 

Then Security 360 will quarantine itself upon install

 

cool

 

It appears that there are more than 2 here as their seems to be more than one exploited DB . Vendors have been notified to research and confirm .

 

It should be flagged as roque software by all vendors.

 

good idea

 

Oh, I am not saying it isnt true and their own actions in their support forums prove to me their guilt. But this is your matter and you should handle it the way you see fit.

 

the question, what can you do.

 

i was the first and original person to post it on their forums and was not banned.

 

That is true. We have only heard one side of the story. I take Malwarbytes words over Iobit's word (For personal beliefs that the mods would not like me saying), but this needs to play out a little further. Their forum mods deleting threads and banning members certainly makes them look bad. One of the mods over there said he was temporarily deleting them because it was in the middle of the morning in China and Iobit needed time to respond. Deleting threads and banning members is not the right way to go about responding to this though.

 

I agree, take them off line like Wilders for further investigation.

 

Also, the person who is in charge of their forums at this moment may be so intimidated with the thought of being unemployed in the morning that they are acting in a irrational way. Come on, only time will tell then we will all know.

 

I must have missed your post then. A user called John Constano was banned according to his repost under the new username JohnCons.

 

We have provided test files(In our original news realease), if anyone cares to verify this for themselves before they start editing their signature database.

 

I dont think you have a issue here showing that between the 2 vendors whom members are going to rightfully side with. Your track record stands by itself. Again, you are home here, the question remains what can you do about it. Hopefully something.

Like ... almost the same ... infact the same, probably

But interesting he got the marketing - It's JUST like Malwarebytes!.

Hi guys. I used to be affiliated with IObit.com, so I can answer many questions. As for the specifics such as signatures and the scanning engine, I am not sure of though.

I am just as unhappy about the drama at the moment as you guys. I had no involvement in this issue, but I am searching for an answer.

 

To all,

Two off topic posts removed. Stay on topic.

I dumped IObit Security 360 before this happened. I wouldn't run anything with their name attached to it now.

That trap that Malware Bites set is strong evidence.
And I agree, you shouldn't delete posts. It's almost an admission.

I wonder if anyone currently with IObit will post here about this?

 

If i was IObit i would just come out with it and give Malwarebytes a % and formally buy the Malwarebytes engine. Also i feel bad for the Chinese because alot of them work for very little money and i guess they really liked the Malwarebytes engine, Who can blame them?

 

Sure, break into my house and steal my TV, but I will still let you watch it on the weekends if you give me $10.00 a weekend. If true Malwarebytes should nail their crooked, "but yet not proven," asses to the wall.

 

Show do look an old fashioned Mint Julip sippin Southern Lynch party to me.

Them Malwarebytes boys say it,why hell,Joe Jack!! Its gotta be true!!
Bring me Mah Rope!!

 

*Off topic"

Someone broke into my house i would probably let them rent my TV, because the TV is still mine but i make $ from it

"Off topic"

But i do find it rather clever how Malwarebytes trapped them.

 

I think your underestimating the intelligence of your fellow Wilders members.

 

Their scanner is saying it . The only way we could control that is .......
