It did install to my win 7, without any error message, but when I run the Idoo AntiSpywere pro it stop working.

Where have XP-Man and MikeR been? If I can't read their opinions I don't download.

Can the real time Detector be turned off even if just temporary? Seems like a Good product. \\\i installed fine on 2 machines.

Stops working. It was finding and quarantining some stuff, but then it quit.
Twice already in Windows 10 64 bit
"idoo antispyware has stopped working"
"a problem has caused the program to stop working correctly
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"

Weird- I have no problem with the downloads- tried Chrome, IE & Firefox.

No problem with the installation too...

so Chrome said it was malicious, so I used IE to download no issues.

Went to install and Avast tells me its a win32: Evo-gen, which is a program with trojan like properties.

so it installed its self anyway, and I went to run the setup again (because I thought it didn't work) and much to my disbelief the idoo spyware blocked its setup file saying it was malicious lol wth.

p.s since installing my browser keeps closing itself down for no reason.

time to clean house

First thing I did was check out the dev's website. I noticed some sites that they claim to have gotten awards from, so I checked it out. None of the sites have awarded Idoo anything and only 2 has any Idoo software available to download from them. Now thinking that maybe this should be warning enough I decided to try it anyway. WOW BAD IDEA. First the thing crashed half way through a scan then it disabled my Microsoft antivirus and malicious software tool and if I restarted them it would just shut them down immediately.

In case you doubt I recorded it. Watch here https://youtu.be/-62_982Q4QQ

According to Malwarebytes detection, Google Chrome contains lots of PUPs?

Well i already have Internet security which has anti virus / spyware along with Malwarebytes Pro both of which determined that the PC was clean However upon installing it and running it Malwarebytes threw up a warning block assuming it was a false positive as this can happen i installed it the clean machine was listed with 12 bogus claims of spyware . Thanks GOTD its buggy ill stick with what i have both well know security

Using Free Download Manager just updated , no problems , for here or on idoo website.

I must say this is the first time that I've tried to download software from GAOTD that Chrome has actually refused to allow it because of its malicious nature.

I think Chrome is smarter than I am, so I'm going to pass on this one.

Thank you

There is something not quite right with this offering, firstly the blocking by Google and now when the issue has been resolved I find that when installing the software Norton alerted me with the message UNAUTHORISED ACCESS BLOCKED SAPE>Heur.800D0 was detected. I checked this on Norton's website and saw this: is a heuristic detection designed to generically detect malicious files. A file detected by this detection name is deemed by Symantec to pose a risk to users and is therefore blocked from accessing the computer. Instant uninstall and virus check completed.

I understand that not everyone speaks english and many software developers are in other countries, however, if you are going to display your company's website and product info in English, have someone who speaks English proof read it for you. You are a business for god sake. I went to this company's website to just read more about the software before installing it, and the about page about killed me. How do you expect someone to have confidence in your software skills and install a program meant to protect my computer when you cannot not even have your website's grammar proofed and correct? I was willing to give this a chance but not now. If your own website is messed up then i cannot trust this software will do what it claims to do.

Downloaded, unzipped, installed and registered without any problem with Chrome browser. No blocking or other incidents. Thank you GOTD and idoo.

I am using Internet Explorer, and not Google or chrome.It downloads, when I run it, the message says it is activated, comes up with the activation code but never installed. Something more is going on here, and I don't feel good about trying to use this program.

“Successfully Activated” message appears then the Foxpro browser opens but program installation repeatedly fails.
This has happened with several other giveaways e.g. HDSentinal and may relate to users' operating system / version.

Last time, the Giveaway team answered "Hello, thank you for contacting GOTD project team! We are aware of this issue and our team is working on it."

The fault was never fixed then and appears to be ongoing.

Installed perfectly on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I did temporarily disable my anti-virus protection because programs don't install correctly due to GOTD's software wrapper (setup.exe)

I tried a Quick Scan (98,812 files) and found 0 threats. This concerns me as I have the full package of Nirsoft Utilities. About 6 of these programs are password retrievers and I have to exclude this directory for other spyware, malware and/or anti-virprograms. Even though they are false positives, idoo AntiSpyware Pro did not detect any problems. My AVG Anti-virus identified bulletspassview.exe as HackTool.ancc. It identified chromepass.exe as HackTool.ASTW, dialupass as HackTool.AKLV and so on. My anti-virus detects 13 threats from the Nirsoft folder. idoo AntiSpyware Pro detects 0.

idooAS.exe and update.dat are added to the firewall rules.

My AVG just popped up identifying update.dat as potentially dangerous.

I'll post back after further testing.

Idoo wrote: "...idoo can intelligently scan and kill unknown Trojan viruses...", if that is the case then we no longer need any other virus protection from any company, this is the panacea of all anti virus software.
What I'm afraid of is that many already installed programs can falsely be diagnosed and disabled and create a big mess out of your computer.

Many viruses are attached to window drivers, software and stand alone as communication drivers and many morph at certain time and certain combination of events or remotely activated by a rogue hacker(s).

First of all:
http://www.idoosoft.com/antivirus-software.htm
is send for a test to Virustotal.com; nothing found:
https://www.virustotal.com/nl/url/1426f98d76e8836a1c5f44b5d2050f65ac7c4ba66ee8f43abaa1e2e90100af58/analysis/1458480312/

The GOTD-sites are today suspicious.
And why?
The result of Virustotal of scanning files3.giveawayoftheday.com
is:
https://www.virustotal.com/nl/url/46f2d210c2a1cdba0406b13aa9e0a51abc4f298c2b9a65b885a63878d49357c2/analysis/1458479155/
Just Google Safebrowsing has a problem.
The same with files2.giveawayoftheday.com:
https://www.virustotal.com/nl/url/aebaeb8e91f5051c2c07c83770ce623530ac4c2c2e89bc626bee736b1b6c28e1/analysis/1458479336/
It is possible that Google has a problem: on this site is placed a program today to investigate a Windows for malware/spyware etc.
And therefore the program has to investigate Windows and goes deeper in the system than a normal program would do.
Disk-access, file-access, registry access etc.
And also the signatures of many malware programs is stored in the GOTD-program.

Google should investigate the site and all of the files. And then act on it.
The best is today.
Today's learning: Maybe Giveaway should send the file to Google one or two day's ahead to let them investigate it. So this will not be a problem on the giveaway-day self.

No warning at all from both Chrome and IE, no problems with download and it installs without any problem.
So whats the Problem. ???

FWIW there's one problem with the GOTD sites & Firefox 45.0.1 running in Private mode -- when you click the Facebook link to share nothing happens. The 2nd problem is that when you download the GOTD zip files, both Chrome & Firefox want to block it -- Firefox easily lets you OK it anyway.

That 2nd problem May be similar to problems with security software like Kaspersky -- they can't look inside the encrypted GOTD wrapper to see what it holds, so label it bad automatically.

Monitoring the installation of both the game GOTD & the regular GOTD in a VBox win7 32 bit VM, neither does anything out of the ordinary -- the game makes no changes while the regular GOTD offer has Very low impact on Windows. In the VM Microsoft Security Essentials does not find a problem with either. Performing a scan with McAfee gives the game a pass, but finds 4 suspect files in the regular GOTD, idoo AntiSpyware Pro -- update.dat, upgo.dat, uptime.dat, & WMIreg.exe.

The digital signature for idoo AntiSpyware Pro lists Hengyida Information Technology CO.,LTD. & eastrivergroup@yahoo.com -- Google on either & you'll find reports of adware... Note: it's not unheard of for trial versions of apps on GOTD to include usually optional add-ons, while the GOTD has those stripped out. Note 2: I did not attempt to verify whether claims of adware or McAfee's detection of the 4 files were false or not -- I simply wanted to see what happened when I tried to download & install, which both did cleanly.

Doesn't extract properly (files missing) & won't install although it CLAIMS to be activated!

Aside from some evident confusion over just what this software protects against -- Trojan virus? Oh really? -- there's the rather more important fact that it seems never to have been crash-tested anywhere. That's a serious obstacle to idoo AntiSpyware Pro bedding in on anyone's computer, and one which the developer would be well advised to address as a priority because as this list demonstrates:

http://www.av-comparatives.org/av-vendors/

so many players currently exist in this sector that only those which have been tested are worthy of consideration.

As that list shows, AVComparatives -- far and away the best research resource of its type -- hasn't even heard of idoo, still less examined idoo AntiSpyware Pro to see if the developer's claims are credible.

Thanks, then, GOTD, but no thanks. Today's developer does itself no favours by being so cavalier in describing what it thinks it is doing with this product; absent external AV analysis and verification, idoo AntiSpyware Pro is going to appeal only to those who trust where they cannot see. . .

I scanned the Setup.exe file with four different Virus scanners and no threat were reported by any of them. But when I went to install the program a warning from BitDefender popped up so I cancelled the install. This is an issue that will have to be corrected before I (probably many others as well) I will install the software.

I suggest that GOTD install and test their offerings before prmoting them as GiveAway Of the Day.

May I recommend: UnHackMe and CryptoPrevent - both of which I obtained free (I honestly can't remember if either was a giveaway).

Not many glowing reports about this software, :-(

Firefox blocked this program when I downloaded it, citing it had virus', malware and all sorts of bugs, but it was the developers website that put-paid to my interest. The developers website must be the MOST irritating site I have visited in a long time. All the pages of the software they market sort of "rotates" every 3 seconds or so, therefore, begin reading the blurb and you get left in the lurch when it brings on the second page and three seconds or so later, a third page enters the scene. Thus, you can never finish reading what you began unless you have the patience to stick around for about 6 seconds for the page you had started reappears again.
Thanks GOTD but no thanks to you idoo software. Try sorting your website out to make it a more pleasurable experience.

I do not get the full file in my download only part

Well what a totally useless offering it is today. Google blocks the website and won't allow the download. Tried to IE (yes, yes I know it's crap but any port in a storm) and this time Norton blocked access to the site and deleted the download as being potentially harmful ... I find it rather ironic that software that is supposed to protect your PC from the nasties is being detected as being one itself. Had to check date thought I might have overslept and it was 1st April. Now to go and waste my time doing something useful.

Installed on Windows 7 64 Bit Pro without incident. Easy registration. idoo AntiSpyware Pro found 2 Trojans and many other security breaches probably because I download a lot. Nice program. Note: I disabled my Avast! for two minutes while I installed it. My Google Chrome didn't go off because I don't use that junk. Thanks GOTD!

Complaining about a free piece of software just because it has a 1 year license? Seriously? The software acquired from this site is for the purpose of testing, getting ideas to improve, get the name out for new companies, etc... Let us not mention at all that even though this is good for "only" one year, but you also get tech support AND upgrades for that year (something that happens very seldom here). Some people want everything for nothing, or they have to throw a childish fit i guess. As for this particular program, I can't leave a review, good, nor bad. Have a popup saying:

The site ahead contains harmful programs

Attackers on files2.giveawayoftheday.com might attempt to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience (for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit).


No big loss, I've already gotten several running. I'd recomend the developer gets this fixed right away or there will be very little in the way of testing and actual feedback, with the exception of the people whining about it only being for a year. Have a wonderful day everyone :)

Nice that you offer this but I have doubts concerning its' efficiency.As I am suspecting that this could be a similar software to the ones that were downloaded in the past, with a scenario that unless you pay full price, for the activation of full functions [deleting rootkit, stopping viruses, blocking spyware, stopping spyware, ... ] and, if you don't accept this, then it has the same behavior as Malware that is impossible for a novice to delete from OS.
The "extended" trial is also not indefinite for your system, so it seems the user must eventually pay money for this product.
As "Terrawarra" comented, "no thanks !" for an insecure software, I must agree 100%.

A 1-year limitation is normal for AV software, so no complaints about that.
In the past Idoo has brought out cloned versions of encryption software, but these versions were not necessarily pirated. Sometimes vendors consent to other firms cloning their software, which then comes out under another name. It need not be bad at all. If so, the question is what software lies at the bottom of it.

I have never hear of this product which seems to be an entire security solution including a firewall... Questions are what AV is it running & what firewall? Where does it stand in AV tests? Does anyone know if its any good at all in detection or will it slow your system? Can it be used with another trusted AV.. or is it a stand alone security that should not be used with any other? Some can be.
