Who put that at #3

Nicely done, Malwarebytes.

Noknojon, I doubt that most people know what happened with IObit, so they just keep downloading it.

Besides, this only displays the downloading, not removing the program, which eventually might happen with IObit's security 360 .

I didn't expect to be Ad-Aware #2 to be honest ...

Hi Blaze -

Ad-Aware got bigger after they added the malware scans - It was not in the older versions - I was surprised at SpyBot , but it only equals Iobit -

We still pass Bit by 5 times the downloads - Pity the poor people when they try to un install - Without the latest tool from Fredvires crew it never actually leaves -

Ad-Aware added malware scans ? Whew, didn't know that, thanks for the update ! Guess I should check that out ...

I like Spybot from in the good old days though..
