MB 3.05+ IDENTIFIES IOBIT ADVANCED SYSTEMCARE 10 PRO as malware.

[enduser]

is anyone else having this problem? i have all the latest updates from the IOBit product im using and also the latest free version of MB 3.06

IOBit product im using currently being ID'ed a threat is the following:

ADVANCED SYSTEMCARE 10 PRO  10.2.0 (ACTIVATED FULL PAID VERSION)

it wasnt doing this a week ago when i was using MB 3.05 and ran a full scan. a week ago i had same current builds of IOBit products except yesterday i got all the latest Microsoft cumulative and other updates as well for March 2017. i thought it mightve been a current issue with MB 3.05 so i updated to 3.06 and the problem remains.

Hi enduser,

Just to add.... here is some helpful info on the company IOBIT that you may not be aware of....

The company behind this product was found to be stealing Malwarebytes database.
Personally I would not trust installing any software from a company that resorts to stealing someone's technology to sell their product.
Please see the following links and make up your own mind if you want to keep this on your system. If needed we can help you remove it.

• IOBit Steals Malwarebytes' Intellectual Property
• IOBit's Denial of Theft Unconvincing
• IOBit Theft Conclusion
• IObit: Trusting Your Antivirus Vendor
• Malwarebytes: IObit Stole Our Signatures Database
• IObit accused of stealing from Malwarebytes
• IOBit sucks at ethics

Thanks! I'm completely aware of that story and i do not use Iobit for security. They're scans never found anything when other scans did. I use them for system optimization solely. For security i trust Malwarebytes. That's why I'm here.

Good to know you are/were aware of the story, just providing the info in case you did not, or if someone that did not know becomes aware...Thanks

That is the part of this program like many other blocked programs that Malwarebytes blocks that can cause more harm then good. Malwarebytes thinks like Microsoft that optimizing programs can be harmful and not needed.

[enduser]

That's great if you rely on Microsoft as your resource for computing knowledge but as we all know Microsoft takes tremendous missteps lots of times. I simply do not trust one source for any and everything. And from a company perspective this may look like retaliation from Malwarebytes to IObit for the aforementioned story.

They are blocking many other similar programs.

i have had the advanced system care for some time now to be close to exact about two yrs all was well until i updated to the newest malawarebytes software , i have had malware bytes for sometime now as said and it always brings advanced system care 10 as a pup or a potential unwanted program, i really like malaware bytes its found a lot of malware and stuff through the years i must say, and must say to i have no plans to uninstall it  its simply great malware software as far as advanced system care 10 i think i can live without it, i do find iobits uninstaller  software  pretty good though along with its driver booster software in which i have had for awhile, at any rate i have completely uninstalled advanced system care 10 as i had the pro version also, so i'm out 14.00, if this is true what i'm hearing about the stealing bit i think I'm going to stay clear of it, for the good it did for me over the years is trivial at the least if it did anything at all i don't really know .
