The problem is that newbies and the non-thinkers have no idea what is a known source.
One source is the same as another to them.

Try to un-install anything from IOBit and its as hard get rid of as anything from Norton (Symantec) as it leaves junk all over your hard drive.

Nothing wrong with IObit unless your careless as to where you download your software.
Read and verify before you press that download button.

IOBit Steals Malwarebytes' Intellectual Property

Malwarebytes has recently uncovered evidence that a company called IOBit based in China is stealing and incorporating our proprietary database and intellectual property into their software. We know this will sound hard to believe, because it was hard for us to believe at first too. But after an indepth investigation, we became convinced it was true. Here is how we know.

We noticed this a few days ago when we received a complaint that malwarebytes only removed 20 infections and then charged for the rest

For those interested here is another company that is playing on the MBAM name
