  1. I had this happen as well, and immediately uninstalled the itop software. VPNs can implicitly spy on network traffic, while screen recorders can spy on screen contents and keystrokes. These are not things to be installed lightly. Revisiting the update, I see there was an itop checkbox -- in the lower left corner with low contrast and effectively grayed out. This is sneaky, probably violates laws in some jurisdictions, and certainly could not be seen by anyone with impaired vision. Furthermore, the IOBit Uninstaller / Updater used its privileged status to bypass UAC while installing these. I regard this as a violation of trust and security to a degree that I can no longer use IOBit products. I simply can't trust what someone that unscrupulous might be doing without my knowledge or consent. It takes a lot to land on my permanent blacklist, bit this will do it. Unfortunate, as I have found their products useful over the years.
