I have tried to install this a dozen times, each time resulting in an error! And the application bug report sending didn't work either!

Tried IOBit before, ended up getting more malware than when I had no protection. After reading and researching multiple articles and many reviews, I'm very sorry for anyone who is attempting to use this software. Just my two cents

Like and dislike, found 4 infections (false adobe upgrades) I knew were possibly there but not detected by other security programs or running RegEdit. Dislike there scanning bar - at 23 minutes it reached 99% but 21 minutes later it barely started scanning my D drive and I have two more. Overall program worked for me.

The "giveaways" on this site are wonderful because they offer an extended, full feature "try before you buy" use. This is much better for the consumer. I have used IObit software previously and encountered no problems in use or removal.

Thanks

This carries a 6 month license. What happens after 6 months? Does it stop working...does it stop updating the database or what?

Another extended free trial of an iObit rentalware product, the kind you pay for on a recurring basis year-on-year so never actually own outright. It's a business model iObit adopted four or five years ago and despite being told that rentalware is only justifiable where software requires continuing and intensive developer maintenance, iObit has carried on regardless.

That said: where the rentalware proposition makes absolutely no sense in the case of iObit offerings such as Protected Folder -- software which the developer barely touches from one year to another -- a case can be made for iObit's recurring-charge licensing where an anti-malware product is concerned. For it to work as promised, investment of considerable time and considerable resourcing will be necessary, which is why Malwarebytes realised it couldn't go on with the life-time licensing of its own PRO version.

Malwarebytes will inevitably come to mind whenever any anti-malware product is discussed, so it's especially unfortunate for iObit that it took such a hammering over the alleged theft of Malwarebytes' signature base in 2009. iObit's initial flat denials became increasingly diluted as time went by; it ultimately announced some "revisions" in the face of threatened legal action, though still rejected Malwarebytes' claim.

That might, to some, all seem like ancient history now, yet iObit itself continues to provoke such remembrance of Malwarebytes, every time it touts its own anti-malware. Why? Because this kind of specialist software is only as good as its specialist developer and the constantly updated database which that developer manages to the customer's benefit.

Malwarebytes -- which itself isn't infallible: no software is nor ever will be -- fits the description of specialist developer. iObit. . . doesn't. What with its 'Boosters' and 'Optimizers' and defragmenters and uninstallers, iObit is a generalist developer. And that's the real disincentive here: malware is so serious and constantly evolving a threat that trusting one's defense against it to a Jack of All Trades rather than a Master of One seems anything but prudent.

But even if today's giveaway was from a specialist developer, I'd be distinctly unenthusiastic about it, unable to even consider trusting it when the price attached to it as wildly exaggerated as is the case here: "the program is available for $39.95" but free today. Oh really? iObit Malware Fighter 3.4 PRO is available direct from iObit's website for $19.95 for one year's use, so the proportionate value of six months' free use is $9.98. . . a quarter of the sum claimed on this giveaway page.

Thanks then, GOTD, but no thanks.

insomnia mon' Thanks for your comment! As to the question of to be or not to be, when it comes to Giveaway of The Day -- which is how this site's owners and operators describe it / describe themselves -- I figure on there being four separate words, not five. As "giveaway" is always represented here and elsewhere as one word rather than a hyphenated phrase, then, um, GOTD is wot it is. (Or, to be pernickety, which hopefully no-one is here, then. . . GotD.)

After reading the PC Mag review, no thanks. I use free Malware Bytes but also have the paid version of Loaris Trojan Remover. Keeps me clean.

I already have an anti-malware pro software on my computer, called Malwarebytes Anti-malware Pro. But, I wonder if having 2 anti-malware programs on my computer will hurt?

Having them installed, no. Having them running together in real time, definitely yes. At best, they will be redundant. At worse, they will conflict and might identify each other as malware, like two antiviruses would fight each other. More info:

If you're running the typical free versions, there are no background process, therefore there is no performance hit whatsoever.
You can have several on your machine at once, if run independently.

If an anti-virus application has no background process it is worthless at detecting current threats and should be removed. Scan-and-fix applications are readily available once an infection occurs.

Been using this for a couple of years, I originally downloaded a previous freebie of the day version and I have been very pleased with it, on more than one occasion it has detected unwanted items and protected my machine, reviews are all well and good but if we all went with some of the stuff we read we wouldn't even be using PC's as the operating systems them selves get slated. IMHO this software is well worth a try.

Reply | Comment by Bazzr14 – 10 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (-20)

I have used a paid version of this for a couple years on both Win 7 and Win 10.
In addition I use the MS Security Essentials which is free. I have at least 3 PC's going 24/7.
I have been virus free for several years. Probably lucky?

This is a great GOTD and certainly worth a trial!

Thanks GOTD

From PCMag review (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2477847,00.asp) :

Cons

Not tested by independent labs.
Incredibly terrible score in our hands-on malware-blocking test.
Zero-percent protection in malicious-URL-blocking test.

Bottom Line

Every other antivirus product we've tested is a better choice than IObit Malware Fighter 3 Pro.
Don't even think about purchasing this turkey.

Test Results: Absolutely the Worst

I made my post and then saw yours. It's interesting as I went out and read a few reviews and got much better ones than what you posted. Going to From PCMag review (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2477847,00.asp) : per your suggestion I found a site with a bias and loads of offers that are billed as must have! To be honest some of those I have not had such good experience with in the past. I have tested my machines at the Gibson site and the are behind a secure router and totally invisible to the WWW. Have good day!

http://uk.pcmag.com/iobit-malware-fighter-3-pro/40383/review/iobit-malware-fighter-3-pro

After reading the review I will not waste my time downloading it, it got slated!

For the last couple of years I have been using the free version of Panda Cloud which I particularly like is it does not have to download virus updates. Up to now I have no complaints as it seems to have been effective.

This program...and it's vendors would for sure be my last choise for protection. First of all, they founded this program by copying Malwarebytes Antimalware's database. That's a fact, even they still denies - caught red handed. Well, it's a "giveaway", and be my guest, but there is no malware protection made better than MBAM Premium. Period.
If you decide to try the "offer", be aware, please, that each and every time, you touch your keyboard, you might end up with the whole collection og Iobit's software. They are very tricky - and not thrustworthy at all. Thanks anyway to the team behinind GOATD. We've had some unique offers this year. Keep up the good work :-)

Did you actually read the pcmag review?

The following except from the review was all I needed to read:

"See How We Test Malware Blocking

After this article was complete but before it actually appeared online, I got a note from my IObit contact saying that, according to developers, the file I downloaded was an old version, and that they had uploaded the latest version of it. "The problem you mentioned should not exist," they concluded. I can't explain why an old version was available online, for general download. However, I downloaded the program again and reran my tests. The results were exactly the same: dismal."

After reading your link I uinstalled the program and I will never ever use it again, but how is it with other products from IO Bit as uninstall and advance systemcare and smart defrager, is they good?

Reply | Comment by PCMan – 10 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+4)

PCMan For what it's worth, I have been using Iobit's Advanced System Care for about three years and have had no problems with it. I don't particularly care for their smart defragger since after completion, it says there is still a 9% fragmentation rate.

Being honest the link was broken in my browser and I went to their site direct and a few others and did get a mix reviews. I have had good results! Just lucky! No not really considering I am in a controlled environment behind a provider & hardware protection which has never failed to meet stealth by Gibson Research standards. I have yet to be compromised to my knowledge. On the other hand have been compromised by banks, IRS and a few government entities ran by morons. --- I never did get the new version because I went to bed and woke while being labelled a liar by a moron!

My wife uses per her and PC News "the best" Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2016, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium 2.0 with 24 Support Hotline, & CC Cleaner. I keep her Workstation Images updated routinely and to be honest more often than not when all of that fails -- And it does the tech is glad to have me do what a few hours on the phone or with remote control can't. Wipe and restore!

We run a small Hosting, Web and Graphics Company and down time isn't an option and normally have direct dial for support 24/7 for everything. 300 customer calling our in home office while we try to figure out why we ever put our server on the trunk in Chicago.

This situation has been fluid for years and to be honest those people at Malwarebytes are good but once someone got in the only thing I have found that's sure is a soft clothe and comet to the disk just before you put in a new spare. My SSD's are sure a lot easier.

Any way thanks for your caring input and concern. Have a good day! LOL
