I tried the Pro-version with a giveaway licens for 8 days, then uninstalled. It only updated the sigs 4 times during these 8 days!? 4 times, man.

 

Just wondering...why in the first place even make such a software like this? What kind of a protection or unique features it gives to a enduser?
Something like Zonealarm with old Kaspersky SDK engine? They won't get "fresh" BD sigs database nor ZA will not get freshies from Kaspersky?

 

i think you might be wrong with ZA and KASpersky

The one thing about Chinese AV is their near weekly release of software updates.

Although they should invest resources into making a high quality product. They certainly are capable of it.

Can't find legit reviews just bad stuff like cracks. Has anyone here tested it lately? Really like how it works but would like to know about any real reviews. thanks.

 

Hello @rhuds13

A thorough Internet search will show a checkered past. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IObit_Malware_Fighter

IObit's products have been, and may still be flagged as PUP malware.

 

There's no such thing as PUP malware. PUPs, or Potentially Unwanted Programs, are not malicious.

While I do have the full version installed on my test PC, I would like to see an actual test against recent malware.

 

Well bought Pro 10.1 and seems fine. Today after turned on system it updated couple min after startup so good for me. Almost forgot that it seems faster now and finds more when scan old game cheats from way back. I keep them for testing AVs. It would be nice if could find tests of IObit to could trust it better.
Seems I spoke too soon. When 2 systems came out of sleep they were locked up. Ran recovery and with other AV no problems as before.

 

Here's a test which shows you can't trust it.
