I know you guys hate iObit.
I also know the history behind that one month
Anyway I have used their products for years and never ever has any other Anti-Virus products including AIS or Anti-Malware products including Malwarebytes ever found any viruses or Malware on my computer as a result of an iObit product.
That is a fact.
Maybe I am just lucky in this regard
PS. If you go to the home page of the blog and look at all his blog posts that he lists there is no mention of iObit in any of the article headings. Doesn't mean the article was not there or he didn't comment in another article just saying.
Just for the record
1. We all know that there were Malwarebytes signatures in the IObit360 database.
2. We should all know that they were only there for one month
3. To my knowledge Malwarebytes never filed a lawsuit on this issue. If anyone here is aware of such a lawsuit please post the link.
4. I am not aware of how the Malwarebytes signatures got into IObit360. Does anyone here actually know how they got into the IObit360 database?
5. Just maybe IObit hired some people to design and code their new product at the time IObit360.
6. Just maybe one of those people came from Malwarebytes. It is not uncommon for techies to switch companies and go to a competitor especially when they are designing a new product and need to staff up. I did the same decades ago when I worked in Hard Drive manufacturing industry. I left Computer Memories and went to work for another disk drive manufacturer which was a startup at the time. I got offered stock and a promotion so I changed companies. No big deal. Done all the time.
7. Maybe IObit hired someone from Malwarebytes who stole the signatures of the their own volition before they left. Again not uncommon in the high tech industry, entertainment industry, design industry etc etc.
8. Maybe IObit fired the person when they found out and removed the Malwarebytes signatures from IObit360 after they were made aware that some new employee had illegally inserted them.
9. Maybe all the above is true and that is why Malwarebytes never to my knowledge filed a lawsuit on this issue.
10. Maybe people will continue to trash IObit over this incident though they might have only been culpable of having poor internal design procedures.
11. Maybe a lot of small and even medium and large high tech software companies have poor internal software design procedures.
