Advanced System care Ultimate vs Pro

[Deemer]

I;m currently using Advanced System Care Ultimate and like it very much. Advanced System Care pro appears to offer the "PRO" versions of all Iobit products. Is this correct? Which is better? Should I switch?

Hi Deemer,

Please kindly note that Advanced SystemCare Ultimate includes all functions of Advanced SystemCare Pro. Besides, it also has antivirus feature. So we recommend you to use Advanced SystemCare Ultimate if you didn’t install any other antivirus software.

Should you need other assistance related to IObit programs, please feel free to email us again.

I Like Adanced System Care pro although it does not always do what it should. Never mind.

How pray tell me does anyone email your company when Iobit does not respond.

I have the paid version of Kaspersky Internet Security running on my PC with the premium version of Advanced System Care Ultimate. Recently installed Malwarebytes (14 day premium trial) and it detected several files in the installation directory of ASC Ultimate as PUP and mskwares. Not sure if they are false positives since KIS detects nothing.

Hello dailyak77,

Sorry for the issue you encountered. Currently, our program files are detected as PUP (potentially unwanted programs) by Malwarebytes.

However, PUP is a very controversial topic since it also makes legit programs as PUP.Please read the articles below including Enigma Software's lawsuit against Malwarebytes for Malwarebytes anticompetitive practices and Enigma won this lawsuit. Actually, we are basically in the same situation as Enigma.

We contacted MBAM to resolve this issue many times but the flag is still there. So it would be better if you can also help us by asking Malwarebytes to remove this detection.

In order to continue using our programs, please add our program to the exclusions list of Malwarebytes. You can refer to the "Add an exclusion" part on this page
