You had better to stay away from IObit's products. IObit's software comes with "IObit Apps Toolbar by Spigot". That tries to hijack your browser by letting you install malicious add-ons which force your browser to show many annoying links to random products and to redirect you into Spigot's and IObit's search service to collect the keywords entered by users. It seems that Spigot and IObit are the same company. There is no reason to buy a malware-involved software since many alternatives are available.

Advanced System Care keeps creating pop-ups begging to "Try our free shit today" after being uninstalled completely.. cool.

Official website of IOBIT, a software company deals with performance enhancement software and malware protection software. IOBIT was once accused for stealing Malwarebyte's intellectual property (their database), hence once trust is broken it always remains broken.

Io Bit has very good programs. There uninstaller is SO much better than the default one in Windows. And possibly better than Revo. Advanced System Care finally optimizes your PC for free. I am talking about the "Free Scan" ads that I see that are rogue programs. Yes, I know that IO Bit stole Malware Bytes' DB, but they still give good programs. It's not the best ones available, but they are decent. But you should also use C Cleaner, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and SuperAntiSpyware. They also have some toolbars that come with the installation of some stuff, but they can easily be opted out And all of them are free. Their is a PRO version. I haven't bought them, but they will be better The only problem is that they always say that they are the best. I mean, it's good, but it isn't the best. Not much people use these products.

Seems to be under a "positive review rush" most comments obviously PR oriented...

This is one of my favorite internet security (of course i use Malwarebytes and HitmanPRO for backup) IObit comes with many features including turbo boost, smart Defrag, The uninstaller which uninstalls a program COMPLETELY and more if i was gonna get a internet security this would be one suggestion I would highly recommend

They bundle their products with a toolbar that is actually spyware. In 2012, IObit pushed a rogue RegOptimizer. In 2009, they published fake positive reviews and also posted on their website they are recommended by Forbes. In 2009, they stole database definitions from Malwarebytes, then blames users and never apologized. They wont accept negative reviews, if it happens, the reviewer gets attacked with offensive comments. ***** I've also done anti-malware tests with it's IObit Malware Fighter, and only detected 22% of threats (4217 out of 19003). PCmag also did tests and also came up with very bad results, as well as many false positives. I have posted about all of this. *****

I use IObit its pretty good but they have a lot to improve on i have all there products and ive been satisfied with them for years although i still think Bitedefender is better. But IObit comes with many features like uninstaller which is very useful because windows uninstaller SUCKS smart defrag, gamebooster and more features its just there web blocking system is not the best like ***** which I KNOW FOR SURE its a virus but IObit says its safe

Installs unwanted programs, malware, stealing from other companies, faking reviews. do not trust. *****

When downloading from this site, clicking on the Download button REDIRECTS you another download, which is SNEAKY enough in it's design to pull you into downloading that PUP. This happened to me when I attempted to download SmartDefrag 2.9 for trial purposes/research. I consider REDIRECTS to be a VERY POOR reflection on a company. My professional rating for IOBIT.COM is FAIL! I own a computer security company and will pass this experience on to my customers

ASC is a beautiful program but Iobit's marketing has crossed the line. It ranges from ads on the programs, junk installs, dumb Facebook and Twitter icons on the programs themselves, ads for their own programs, implying that they only did partial cleanups and one needs to buy the paid version to get full results, changing their downloads to Cnet...The list goes on and on and on... Then combine that with an obvious attempt to deceive WOT users. Note how many of their green reviews have only filed one comments for more evidence.

IObit stole the virus databases from Malwarebytes, the best anti-malware suit available! That is illegal!

Can be trusted!! to the fullest! ^^ Don't give in to those 'stealing copyrighted contents' Nerds lol. Because believe it or not, NO they did not copy, but they have made their data and made a software greater then the other security companies MB ^^ the Chinese company did not copy... But REFINED their own, refined again and made the software even better then the so called good original =) Lets all face it!! China is way ahead when it comes to technology!! Why do they make it better?? Because they think ahead! Plus They were not charged but only accused my an American Malware company. MB taking out competition! Why do we need competition of AV to keep our Computers safe?! Face it! Computers are not CHEAP! Someone managed to copy your AV data and improve on it... I'll be mad! But as for taking out competition by making a big deal out of what you think happened (yes people will say "we have evidence") =_=. I mean find a red had and just point and accuse . But in this case no copying was needed, even if they took some data it would of been data that is used once and thrown away like a candy wrapper! and never used again as the software updates :) (if it was used at all) Just don't buy any duds lol.
