No thanks Bob I don't want to be a beta tester and help remove the application bugs so that they can turn it into a Pro version.

Installers Hall of Shame (Unwanted add-on) (Public Event)
• Advanced SystemCare formerly known as Iobit advanced one care - Yahoo Toolbar (selecting no will still do changes on the system)

Seems promising!
Cant wait for the Stable version...I hope it wont end as what YoKenny said!
Hope not...

Pretty similar GUI with <secret> version 5.
-
It's actually running very well.
Very little impact on the overall system. :)
Kenny,
NO Yahoo Toolbar.... ;D

I trust Bob on the Yahoo toolbar however I will let the beta testing o more able "minded" (from the expression able-bodied) users. Hopefully this product will stay free. ;D

Im confused, is he trying to say if we choose not to install yahoo bar, it still does somehow? ???

I can't be sure but the latest trend is to get you to say No but it still installs behind your back and I do not like toolbars of any description as they have the ability to track your every move!

You obviously haven't installed this program. Swearing isn't needed to get your point across.
I've installed this program. It's running on my Windows 7 system right now. It does NOT install any toolbars.
Please get your facts straight before you make accusations. Thanks
-
If bob says it doesn't install a toolbar, Then thats good enough for me.
-
Bob, am I right to think that it is only an on-demand scanning?
Does it have advantages over MBAM?

Tech,
If you look at the pictures, you'll notice that the way mine is configured,
it's set for Real-Time Protection. (Resident) which is one advantage over Malwarebytes program since you
need to purchase the pro version for resident protection.

That sounds mighty tempting. I have been looking for a free secondary resident scanner for adware.
Have there been any conflicts so far?
And, I apologize for this, but are you using Vista or XP?

Has any on else installed the program on Vista or XP?
Is it running well so far?
Thank you bob for the reply. ( I cant wait for the final release of WIN 7... it sounds and seems to be a lot better than vista)
Edit:

Looks promising then.
Thank you for the second reply as well.

They are looking for suckers to test the application so they can remove bugs to release a Pro version that works effectively.
I trust Iobit as far as Symantec and McAfee as they all want your $$$ and don't care about people:

Thank you for the link...I'll run it now.

I'm running Win 7 on a system with 1.5GB of RAM and a Cel D 352 3.2Ghz cpu and it's working just as well as my Pentium D 925 Dualcore system with more RAM. Don't worry about it...it should work just fine for you. I have not experienced any slow downs or lag. System is very responsive. I'd say almost if not equivalent to the speed of my Ubuntu install.

I often pop in without logging on and saw this IObit security 360 beta that Bob posted.I downloaded it a week ago and am running the resident protection along with Avast,Windows Defender and Winpatrol.The reason I am trying it is that it does give free resident protection.
You get daily updates and am pleased with it.It has no conflicts with other security app's.And does not take a lot of resources.As long as it stays free I will stay with it.If they gain by experimenting on my machine I gain with a free security app.If it gives any grief I always have the option to terminate it.

I only thought there were a few...

There are, only a few good ones ;D, but these tend to be country, language, people, specific

I remember when I was using Iobit defrag,and triled their Advanced System Care,
I had a few problems with the settings of the latter,(not problems with the software,just understanding it),and their tech guys were very nice.
Avast users understand how important a helpful Forum/Support team is,and these guys seem pretty good.
-
IObit Security 360 was just updated to Beta version 2.2
A system restart will be required after the program update.
Enjoy. :)

good point... I didn't check all the links and to be clear when I said "not all that good" I was referring to spam. There are some search engines that look more like spammers than anything. Of course this doesn't mean anything and you are right bob. I shouldn't make baseless accusations. I apologize for that :'(
It was not my intention in any way, shape, or form. I was just overthrown by the sheer quantity of various search engines that I was in denial (Excuses, excuses, excuses...). :-[

That's another reason why I am glad I don't use Avira any more.
The many False Positives that it has and they refuse to admit that is not malware because they say so and won't be swayed.
If you search on Flash_Disinfector that has been recommended here countless times as a protector for USB sticks and try to download it then run it Avira will declare it malware is another.

Hmmm...what should I say? Avira, for better or for worse, tends to be quickest in warning the user. It may be crying wolf but the occasions are rather rare, which is, at least, in my case. When I'm sure its false positive, I simply let it exempt the file in question. It's still at the level of better safe than sorry to me. After all, I guess it's all pros and cons.
PS O.K. I see it's rather off topic.

Then what do you think of IO Bit Security?
Is it good enough?

it's Avira Black list of bad urls, not AV engine, but, anyway Avira has its own fans because high detection rate so it block even "suspecion" files too. only 100% files are allowed!!
you may don't believe me, in the files I am using, avast! had much more false positive, also avast! had much more missed samples, Avira had less false positive and better detection, I used both for a long time.

Thanks bob3160, signed up for the ipod beta...we'll see if they let me :)
Trillian or Apple ??? :)

Trillian for the ipod touch(same as the iphone version - apparently not as simple as the windows version), don't get what you mean about apple though...
-
Will Apple allow you to run the Astra ?
-
I don't see why not... There are many IM apps in the app store...

If you like it, please let me know so I can recommend it to my Son-in-law.
Thanks. :)

No problem, I'll let you know, that is if they let me test it ;)

Hi Bob,
Is there anywhere we can have a look at it?
Do you ever have any programs that are not betas/previews (just kidding ;))
(BTW trillian for ipod isn't released yet, so no response from them...)

I won't receive it as a gift... I hope I'll get Windows 7 before (an upgrade from my Vista) ;)

I think that is the idea since it' the next Microsoft's Office Suite. So I think that/imagine at least, that they will make available for the major OSs (ie XP, Vista, Win7, Mac OS X etc)

Maybe I'm a little confused ???
The Technical Preview is only available to select beta testers by invitation. The end product will be available to
any one willing to spend the money to buy it. :)

OK...Guys have u tried Sygate Personal Firewall? (http://www.filehippo.com/download_sygate_personal_firewall/)^^
Thanks Guys for ur future response(s)^^
-AnimeLover^^
-
It is a) very old, b) no longer actively being developed.
So it wouldn't be keeping pace with exploits (leaks) to by-pass the firewall, so my answer would be a) no I haven't tried it and b) not I wouldn't try it.
In its day it was a very good and highly configurable firewall, but even then it had vulnerabilities with the localhost loopback, e.g. it only challenged the localhost proxy parent and not anything else that happened to use the proxy.

I'm using IObit Security 360 and have been using it since I posted about it in this forum.
The current version or latest update is beta 3.1
-
It's been a while but I wanted to ask a question concerning IObit 360 and since Bob has been using it since it's early days I only found it suiting to ask the question in this thread.
Is it ok to use the "PC Security Analysis" tool. It's in the main window and when triggered gives you various options. Among which I found privacy sweeper. It says it found some junk files I'm assuming I can safely delete. They are found in the "temp" and "Temporary Internet Files" folders. Is this true or should I avoid doing this?

@ Confused Computer User
CCleaner does the job admirably.
IOBit Theft ConclusionWe have documented here and here how IObit's in-the-wild detection rates dropped from over 70% to under 20% overnight after removing Malwarebytes' definitions from their database. Unsurprisingly, IObit has abruptly ended its anti-malware comparison testing program. We invite all users to continue to compare our detection rates against in-the-wild malware to IObit's over the next several months. We know who we believe will be on top. And we look forward to continuing to improve our products and help the online community at large.
