Is ASC superceded by IOBit Security 360?

[nandrews]

I see that there has been no update for ASC since 26/07/2009 16:34:21

Does this mean that ASC is no longer supported?

 

Thanks

Though I don't work for IObit,I'd still have to say no.The focus is currently on 360,and as I'm sure you can understand,it requires considerably more time and effort to keep a security application updated then it does a tune-up utility.Also bear in mind that 360 is still at an early stage-v1.0,as opposed to ASC which is in its @5th or 6th final build.Except for some tweaks to better accommodate Win7,and maybe some trading of "add-ons",ASC probably won't be updating very frequently.Thanks for the question.

Thanks.

Maybe I/we are confusing upating the programme and updating the data that the programme uses.

As ASC checks for spyware I would expect it to be adding the patterns for new spyware almost daily, as other spyware checking programs do.

I agree that the program, one working well, shouldn't need update (upgrade?).

I just downloaded 360. Do I still need to keep and use ASC?

Hi classicride72,

 

They are two different programs with different functions.

 

There are very little overlap between them, and strongly advisable to keep and use both.

 

Cheers.

Would love to see an upgrade/update of ASC in the near future. Indeed IObit should focus on Security 360 right now tough.
