IOBit's Popup Windows Notifications Are Becoming A Deal Breaker For Me.

[encephaloid]

I need to share my frustration about the recent changes(last couple of years) with Advanced SystemCare. I’ve been a loyal user for years because I valued the promise of a clean, ad-free experience. However, lately, I’m getting bombarded with notifications for IObit’s own or partnered products, and it’s really starting to get on my nerves. Some of these ads aren't even related to PC Security and IO Bit seems to be ok with pushing them as Windows Notifications. As a designer and a gamer I don't want the hassle of closing out the notification that shouldn't be coming with adware protection. YOU ARE PLAYING BOTH SIDES OF THE FIELD. STOP.

When I chose Advanced SystemCare, it was because I wanted a reliable tool that focused solely on improving my system without the hassle of ads or promotional interruptions. Seeing these ads for your own or partnered products feels like a breach of that promise. It’s frustrating to watch something I trusted to keep my system smooth and ad-free start behaving like the very thing I was trying to avoid.

This new approach is not only disrupting my user experience but is also making me question whether I should stick with your product. Instead of focusing on optimizing my system, I’m now dealing with constant interruptions that detract from what used to be a straightforward, effective tool. It’s pushing me to look for alternatives that won’t bombard me with these kinds of ads.

I really hope you’ll reconsider this strategy and return to the model that made Advanced SystemCare a trusted choice in the first place. I want to keep using your software, but not if it means putting up with constant, irrelevant ads.

The only solution is stop pushing third party recommended products with Windows Notifications. That's not only intrusive but counter to the purpose people pay for IOBit software for. It's doing the very thing we get these products to stop!

Latest annoyance, a VPN you have partnered with. When this license expires we are done.

IO Bit's partner notifications have killed my interest in using IOBit products in the future. My computer is not for your goddamn advertisements. This isn't anti-adware it's adware.

Yeah, it can be frustrating when software notifications start feeling like ads. I also use IObit products, and I found iTop VPN (an IObit's partner company) to be pretty solid—it offers good privacy features, which I really appreciate. Anyway, hopefully IObit takes your feedback to heart and fine-tunes their approach. Just hang in there, and let’s hope they make some adjustments in future updates!
