Malwarebytes just removed IOBit Driver Booster from my computer. I never installed IOBit.

Hi MadDemon :)

Do you have any IObit program on your system? Also, most of IObit programs have been known to be bundled in some installers (and are therefore considered PUPs), so it might be how it ended up on your system.

I only see IObit in the Windows folder with the folder DisabledTasks (which is empty) and the ProgrmData folder with an "Install" configuration setting.

Wait a second...all of these were put on my computer on September 10th...

I think I might have been a little hasty.  I'm going to double check this, but I think my computer was in the shop on the 10th.

I think this might just be a false alarm and it was installed on my computer because my technician had to reinstall all my drivers (computer wouldn't start, restore, or reset).

I am 99% certain this is a false alarm.

The PUP detection isn't a false alarm, because Driver Booster really is a PUP. It isn't a dangerous threat, though it isn't something you want to keep installed as it's useless and can be bothering at time.

Also, this is just my opinion as a technician myself, but if your shop really uses these kind of programs to install drivers, I suggest you to start looking for another shop with more competent technicians :)

Just now, Aura said:

It could have been pushed with a bundled installer, that's the most plausible case.

I haven't installed anything recently, just general updates.  Since the folder says it was installed on September 10th, is that to be believed, and why is Malwarebytes only picking it up now?

Malwarebytes recently took a more agressive stance on PUPs, and so certain products that weren't flagged before now are because of these changes. For more information, you can check out the thread below.

Maybe the folder was last modified on September 10th, but created before?

No, my file explorer says that it was last modified today (when Malwarebytes detected and quarantined all of IOBit's stuff) and it was created on September 10.  Same for the installer configuration settings: created on September 10.

I'm currently running every scanner I have on my computer (Malwarebytes, Norton, and Hitmanpro) to make sure it's no longer there.

Hello!

It is not just a false positive?

It isn't a false positive, no. Let's see if you have more IObit stuff installed.

It isn't a false positive, no. Let's see if you have more IObit stuff installed.

3Al62Pm.pngMiniToolBox

  • Download MiniToolBox and move the file to your Desktop;
  • Right-click on MiniToolBox.exe and select Spcusrh.pngRun as Administrator (for Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 users);
  • Check the following options:
    • List Installed Programs;
  • Once this is done, click on Go and wait for the scan to complete;
  • Once the scan is complete, a log will open. Please copy/paste the content of the output log in your next reply;

 

Wait him, me, or both?  So far nothing has shown up in Malwarebytes, Hitmanpro, or ADWCleaner.  I'm currently running Norton.

my IObit programs have been added to my Malwarebytes quarantine. Is there an issue with IObit? or is it safe to keep the programs?

That's something I'm wondering too.  They're PUPs (Potentially unwanted programs), but they aren't viruses or malware?  It's kinda confusing to me.

The IObit detections aren't false positives from Malwarebytes. Please see the thread I linked above. For more information on PUPs, you can check out the link below.

@MadDemon64: MiniToolBox is a standalone executable, you don't need to install it. Simply execute it and run it.

Edit: Malwarebytes Gets Tougher on PUPs.

If you wish to keep your IObit products, you can add them to Malwarebytes' exclusion list. Though personally, I consider their product quite useless and potentially harmful. PC Boosters, Driver Updaters, etc. are NOT needed on a computer and they won't help you with anything.

No, I mean you were only talking to Serial regarding MiniToolBox and not me.  So far Norton has only picked up tracking cookies, ADWcleaner and Malwarebytes came up empty, and HitmanPro detected tracking cookies.  No PUPs, especially IOBit PUPs, have been detected so far (but we will see after Norton is finished).  I'm just wondering if the MiniToolBox will be necessary for me given how there seems to be a high probability that the problem has been solved if the scans are to be believed.

You can read MiniToolBox if you want so I can check whether or not you have more IObit program installed. Though if you proceeded to remove Malwarebytes detections, the issue has already been solved.

Does quarantine count as removed detections, or do I need to delete them from quarantine?
