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?

I've installed this program. It's running on my Windows 7 system right now. It does NOT install any toolbars.

opsss... :-[ :-[ :-[
so sorry.
forgot to re-read the thread... Thanks.

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:
It is running in conjunction with:

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

Your welcome. :)

Almost forgot, Windows Defender is also running.

Believe it or not, even with all that scanning going on, it's still very responsive. :)

Please get your facts straight before you make accusations. Thanks
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:

Well yes, Although to be fair my Emachines did not have a lot of crap. Just McAfee or norton I can't recall and an update program that is no longer supported by them.

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

Quoting out of context isn't very nice.  This wasn't directed at you but you sure make it look that way.....   :(

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.

Interesting but I have a feeling some of the links it provides are not all that good.
