Say 'avast!' to malwares

How good and reliable IObit Security 360 is ? Do you use it and are you satisfied or not? In their website they are very ambitious about capabilities of their software. What do you think?

Have a nice day all

To be honest i was really surprised when i saw their web page and their ambitious words because they are not experienced in malwares like alwil. That's why i decided to ask your opinion about it. Then i saw the accusation and it did not made me surprised a lot. I will go on using SuperAntispyware along with avast!

welcome.

sorry for that. If you had bought MBAM, it would have protected lot better than IOBIT and mbam will protect your system for its life once the product is brought, in the sense, you had to pay for mbam only once and you would have life time support.

Editor's Note, November 4, 2009: IObit, the maker of Security 360, has been accused of intellectual property theft of malware definitions. (Read more about the dispute in our CNET News story.) Per our policy, CNET Download.com is no longer hosting the installation file. The Download Now link points to IObit's Web site, where the company claims to have posted software that is compliant with intellectual property laws. CNET has not substantiated this claim.

I see no such distinction, free or paid is irrelevant as the freeware is no different in the ethical issues being discussed. It is about trust and for me they have lost that trust, so who is to say if there hasn't been a similar issue with the freeware that either deprives other companies of their hard work.
