Interesting Software and System News

[bob3160]

I don't see anything interesting about that software.

@ bob3160,

Yes, as it is not really a new and valid sort of program you normally submit here, BUT, as an antivirus program is really one of the most critical programs one can put on their systems, would not the integrity and honesty of the people running the company matter or come into play? 

It looks to me offhand that this may be less than reputable sort of company here.  Imagine the willful access to all your data everywhere in one fell swoop, and not only that, privacy issues would come up here as well if this is so!

I think that is what Chris Thomas was alluding to, and getting at here.  It may seem a little bit OT, but not really.

Interesting program but watch out for the add-ons
Once you bypass them (Uncheck and don't accept) you'll be able to find all sorts of
pictures from within your emails, Facebook, twitter, etc.

I have 'always' held the integrity and morals of an individual(or group) behind any product as primary , whether the product is a car, toaster or software program before I support it with my $$$$$

SlimComputer - helps identify software that comes pre-installed on a new computer

Is there a need to post the same thing in two different topics Bob http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=93544.msg872031#msg872031 we're always telling other people off for doing the same thing.

So, does this mean for future versions of AIS or are the technologies already present in what we have?  I hope the HIPS part never makes it into AIS.

It is still an immature programme so I would only use it as a last resort

IOBIT Advanced Mobil Care

I've been using this for over a month and have found that my smartphone is faster and the battery is certainly giving me extra up-time.
It has not in any way interfered with my avast! Mobil Security's ability to keep my system clean and protected.

[DavidR]

Sorry but for me given their history there will be no iobit software on any of my systems/phones.

That Iobit app is not compatible with the Nexus 7.
