pickyantivirus Posted January 3, 2011 ID:369184 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Malwarebytes are saying that Iobit have stolen from their database. the proof they have is some of the detections are called the same, this was caused by users submitting files and the iobit engine automatically naming them after the file name (as malwarebytes does with some). this has left a damaging mark on both company's and has cause endless rows. i therefore refuse to re-purchase malwarebytes or use it to disinfect machines. instead i will use more reliable software, such as comodo, hitman pro, and drweb, i will also be using superantispyware.I hope your reputation is as severely damaged as Iobits, and you should both be ashamed of your selves bringing something like this into an already fragile market. a response from a malwarebytes representative would be nice, and i am sure that this will be removed very quickly.

If you bought it you have a lifetime license. Using it to disinfect machines? Plural? Do you have a business? If so you must purchase a separate license for that purpose.

DarkSnakeKobra Posted January 3, 2011 ID:369251 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Excuse me, but there is no reason to start a fight. First off this was proven fair and square. Second, some of the products you listed are not reputable(aka Comodo).I would keep those comments to yourself and think before coming around to start something.
