downloading update strange box

[username24]

Whenever I download updates it does so automatically, today I am being prompted to download somehting called:

 

awc3update.htm

 

When I say no to it, Iobit says I have the latest version. Is this some sort of error?

Hi username24, please provide us a screenshot if you can create the same again.

As, I can not repeat what I have understood from your post.

 

Thanks and cheers.

Hi enoskype

Sorry to butt in :-)

But username24, in addition to enoskype would you please also provide some information as to what version you are using!

( I think it sounds like a clean install :-) )

Cheers

Hi username24,

The link shows that the image has been moved or deleted. You might check it.

[username24]

can you make any sense of it, is it a virus?

Hi username24,

Not sure what it is, but I am set to update automatic, & I just ran a manual update. There was an update for the "top freeware" in utilities. It is just a link to software informer's site for top freeware. Mine did not open with that box, but I am using IE, not firefox. Here is the update log from history:

Update details:

Top Freeware(C:\Program Files\IObit\Advanced SystemCare 3\Sup_IFM.exe)

I use Firefox,and a box like that one does not open when ASC updates.That should be an "internal" update that does not require your browser to be accomplished.I'm going to call that a phishing attempt,or worse,a malware file.I wouldn't download that at all.And the "top freeware" update is nothing more than a link to Gizmo's.

[username24]

do you think its a pishing scam being directed at many iobit users or is it directed at me and somehow they think I can be tricked through downloading an update in a program thats supposed to keep us secure?

 

I run iobit 360, ACS, spybot, malwarebytes, and ad-aware and I haven't detected any malware

[detailer]

Not Sure

 

I can't really say-other than I don't understand why it would open a window from FF.You could download it to your desktop,and then scan the file with MB or any other security available from the context menu.Or send it to VT via 360

[username24]

anyone else experiencing this?

 

do you all think its phising or malware, how do I get rid of it? None of my apps detect anything.

username24, I have tried to download what you have been offered, but it takes you to main IObit page after giving "Site under construction" notice.

 

It has to be someting to do with FF.

 

Cheers.
