Had nothing but problems with this program i still like malwarebytes pro has never let me down and Malwarebytes always flags IOrbits software especially that dreadful Advanced Systemcare Stay clear of that
Save | Cancel
Doc, The reason ASC is flagged by Malwarebytes is because it is a competing program and wants you not to use it. I have to ask then, What is Malwarebytes afraid of that it doesn't want another cleaner there.

Timothy,
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Save | Cancel
actually malware bytes hates IOBIT because it had infringed copyrighted items that were private to the A/V and A/M engines of MALWAREBYTES ANTIMALWARE
Save | Cancel
I will give this a shot..I've used the iOBit uninstaller for a while now and am very impressed, so let's see how this malware program stacks up against Malwarebytes etc.

what free program is better than IObit Malware Fighter Pro 5.3.0 ??
Save | Cancel
I had been using Malawarebytes Free for ages and about a month ago started having problems with it updating. For some reason it saw 'no internet connection' and that continued even after reinstalling and that got frustrating. Because of that, I decided to try the free version of IObit Malware Fighter and have been satisfied with it thus far.
I realize some people are disappointed by the 6 month license offer but reality is, these are businesses with overhead and salaries to pay and need to make money. Of course, they hope you'll try it, like it and buy it. Is a free 6 month term to use and test a software really so bad?
For anyone who has the free version already on their PC, I simply input the registration code and it updated to the Pro version without having to run the installation files.
Thanks to IObit and the GOTD team!

TK, With all due respect, whether you think their overhead is low or not, they are a for-profit business. They do offer a permanently free version and today they are giving away their paid version here with a 6 month license for free. Is it as good an offer as a 1 year license, perhaps not. Is it better than a 1 month license, yes. People sharing experiences about the functionality of a software is helpful but whining about the length of the license is clutter. I just never understand people who complain about getting something free!
And just for the record, I've been using the free version of this for about a month now and have not gotten any "push advertising" as of yet. Sure, there is a little orange button in the bottom frame to "update to pro" but that seems quite common to have on any free version of a software package.
Peace ✌

Note: IObit Malware Fighter Pro includes the Bitdefender AV component. It may not effect everyone -- it may just be this Windows install -- but I had to stop using [completely remove] Bitdefender in Win7 because newer versions break VirtualBox. The problem doesn't occur for me in Win10. That's NOT to say that IObit Malware Fighter Pro will effect running V/Box in Win7 -- just something to watch out for if you do run V/Box in 7.

mike, Just to note I run similar W7 with VMware and never have any problems Just a Note oh and for anyone else reading this a quick tip get IObit Advanced System Care and there is an easter egg in the Action Center Tab that allows you buy deeply discounted IObit programs I think I paid like 3.99 for this program Malware Fighter Pro.

Whether it's a six month or twelve month license is irrelevant. Either way, if you don't renew the license after the expiration, it reverts from the Pro version to the lifetime free version with fewer features. Most security software is this way. I think that this six month license of IObit Malware Fighter is good for business because it acquaints people with the software, which leads to purchases. And it's good for people because it gives the Pro version for a time, at no cost. And then reverts to the free lifetime version. As for IObit Malware Fighter Pro, the fact that it is teamed with the best or one of the best anti virus companies in the world, Bitdefender, makes it very attractive as a security program. Interesting too is its ransomware protection feature. If I didn't already have Bitdefender Total Security, I'd definitely give IObit malware Fighter Pro a try. Then if I liked it, I'd wait for a sale and try to get it at half price, or less.

I have tried this program in the past. Seemed to work pretty well. I would recommend trying it out, if you are looking for a program like this. But, I'm still partial to Malwarebytes Pro. I've been using it for years and see no reason to change.

IObit Malware Fighter Pro 5.5.0 is good, easy of activation, can work with no interaction with kaspersky, solong is a giveawayoftheday, I am content for it being 6 month, but you may think of giving it for a whole year as freeware in future and be the first giving pro version of antivirus for the whole year!

It seems that AVG does not like IObit Malware Fighter to work along so it turns to "passive mode" until IMF is uninstalled.
Save | Cancel
more like passive aggressive mode
Save | Cancel
Radu, unless you turn off the BitDefender antivirus engine included in IOBit Malware Fighter, AVG antivirus will go to passive mode. If you disable the Bidefender antivirus element of this software, the rest of IOBit Malware Fighter plays just fine with AVG.
Two competing and active AV engines can lock up your system.

Ed,
Thank you very much. Now I have to reinstall my paid IMF ! (if I can find my licence)
Save | Cancel
If you already have the the Free Version 5.3 just enter the licence code from the read me file to switch it to the Pro Version.
Save | Cancel
Delighted to see this program available again.
I believe I got it here 6 months ago and that expires in 3 days!
Download the file and the code needed is in the Zip File.
Went like a dream on my ancient XP System.
Definitely one of the better Giveaways!
Thanks!

I already subscribe to Bitdefender Internet Security User - will it be a conflict?
Save | Cancel
You have to open the 'read me' to get the activation code. Easy peasy.
Save | Cancel
I can use only the free version. No activation code transmitted in any form.
After installing and launching this software Windows10 has frozen out.
Save | Cancel
Just detected the readme.txt file with the key, that is attached to the setup.exe file.
Save | Cancel
Oswald, Licence code was downloaded with the file in the read me........just copy & paste into the program bottom right of the window below "activate"
Save | Cancel
it seems that the program offered is the free version and not the pro version
Save | Cancel
Don Bernstein, have you entered the key in the readme?
Save | Cancel
Don Bernstein, You get the pro version when you add the license code
Save | Cancel
@Mick Ellis - Try using another browser, I downloaded it without problems
@2232 - It is a free version until you register it with the key in readme.txt, then it changes into PRO

Long a curious hybrid -- its conception is part iObit, part BitDefender, its provenance 2012's iObit Advanced System Care PRO -- 'Malware Fighter Pro' is nowadays even odder for the parental rivalry that continues to obtain.
Contrary to the price quoted on this page, iObit has been selling its Malware Fighter Pro at $20 off (down to $19.95 a year for three computers) ever since BitDefender started selling its Antivirus Plus at $30 off (down to $29.99 a year for three computers.) The two can be compared on these links:
http://iobitsoft.com/iobitsoft_store.php
https://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/antivirus.html
Thanks to GOTD today, the iObit sibling can be trialed for six months. By contrast, the BitDefender sibling's trial period is 30 days.
Having run both, my own view is that the $10 annual premium represents the better value for protective software from a company with a world-renowned track record in this specialised sector -- BitDefender -- compared with that from a company -- iObit -- whose specialism has never been in this sector but, instead, in so-called computer 'optimization'.
It has come down to what might best be described as one's comfort level, about just how much faith one should invest in iObit's self-described "much improved anti-malware engine" compared to BitDefender's peer reviewed, award-winning all-round competence.
That said, today's offer is worth exploring by those who have never sampled the iObit product before, and if, as hoped, iObit has cut back on the nag screens and up-sells for its other products, the experience should in theory be OK. Just bear in mind that as noted, this is hybrid software from two distinctly separate developers of distinctly different accomplishment. . .

2232, install program

This is easily one of the best offers from GOTD in quite some time! If you need good protection this will do a stellar job. No system is ever 100% safe but this is a great line of defense! It uses the bit defender engine and has added protection from it's own engine as well.
Thank you GOTD!
