Upon further review... this software is nothing but crapware!!

Don't use it.

The free version of this product would have caused a reinstall of my OS at the time (XP Pro SP3), had I not created a restore point prior to installing the product. There is a one click maintenance program on this, that's what troubled my system. Some have found this program useful, but my opinion of this is: Use it at your own risk! If anyone does decide to install this program, remember to create a system restore point first. Another thing to consider, the company behind the program, Iobit. They were alleged to have stolen their "iobit security 360" program's database from Malwarebytes. Whether this is true or not, the story was published about it.IObitSecurity360.png

Told you, there's the self-proclaimed proof of it. Doesn't get any better than straight from the horse's own mouth. If they would steal Malwarebytes data, they'd do the same to you.

I don't like & will never use Iobit's products, free or paid. The story about that thumbnail can be found at Addictive Tips/Internet Articles. In the search box, type "iobit 360", w/o the quotes, there will be an article "Iobit rips off other's hard work...", about 3 or 4 links down.

Darn... didn't mean to open a can of worms! Just thought I'd offer something for other members to consider, that's all.

Cat - You sounded like me when I talk about DELL or Apple products!

I hope I'm not rubbing off on you! LOL

Do a Bing search, enter "iobit rips off others hard work", w/o the quotes, you can read the full story.
