Norton 360 reported PUA.Superfluss in IOBit Uninstaller 11.5

[Itc6234]

Norton suddenly reported today that IOBit Uninstaller (version 11.5 this time) has some kind of malware, called PUA.Superfluss

It specifically mentioned the IOBit files UninstallMonitor.exe and IObitUninstaler.exe

I've owned both Norton and IOBit Uninstaller for years,

Norton gave me the option to exclude IOBit Uninstaller from future scans. But before I do that, I would like to understand why Norton is reporting this.

I have the same issue with Norton identifying PUA.Superfluss installed with Iobit software. Norton reports two infected files: SmartDefrag.exe, and UninstallMonitor.exe. What gives?

I too experienced this, on three PCs. I reinstalled IObit Uninstaller version 11.5.0.4 on each of these PCs and thus far Norton has not objected. I'll post here again if Norton does detect a threat.

Yes, my computer is doing the same. It would be great to have an answer to this. It has happened twice and picked up by Norton. The file is identified as iobituninstaller.exe in the download file.

Hello,

The false detection should have been removed in our latest IObit Uninstaller v11.6.0.7.

Kindly download it from the link below to see whether is still an issue.

Thanks for your kind understanding.
