AVG blocks everything related to IOBIT

[demitris]

hi all

 

Today Tuesday 10/11/09 GMT 12:00 I tried to update or enter IObit site or Forum and I noticed that it was blocked by AVG FRee 9.0 Link-Scanner characterising the site as exploit, phishing -potential Threat.

 

What is going on with these AV Vendors who play JESUS ???

 

We will all start loosing our temper soon.

 

I expect an immediate action by IOBit Team.

 

cheers

surfing in IOBit bypassing AVG

 

Hi all

 

for those who have AVG installed on their PCs .

 

there are three ways to surf in IOBit

 

a) if u have AVG toolbar installed . Press Total Protection tab/untick the first two boxes /press OK (best way)

after leaving IObit tick them back again

 

b) In AVG interface choose Linkscanner and disable it.....

 

c) Uninstall AVG and install other Antivirus like avast, avira,....

 

cheers

Yup, back to Avira!

 

samr.

Easy solution, switch to Avast or Avira... both higher quality products, IMO.

yeah thats right...all these AV plays "JESUS"...its not like IOBIt is pretending to be avg in this link http://www.iobit.com/avg-com.html or anything..... or stealing any databases...or anything :lol:

 

 

I'm sure AVG is very wrong and IOBit is completely innocent :lol::lol:

Hi PCTech,

 

A while ago IObit and AVG had an agreement to give Free AVG Pro licenses.

I wonder what happened to that agreement!

 

Of course it may be seen differently from Amsterdam.

 

Cheers.

hello olol

 

you are welcome.

I believe IObit is not pretending to be AVG.

 

This seems to be an old attempt for cooperation.

 

AVG 8.5 is going to be withdrawn soon. Now i don't know why the link remained there. U may ask IObit owners.

 

It's not the first time that AVG take arbitrary decisions and act like a "Dictator" Recently decided to disable WindowsDefender by force leaving no option to the users.

 

also try to post in AVG Forum and then u will realise what i mean....

 

 

cheers

Thanks for your email.

 

This is something we take very seriously and I have passed this on to our managing director for further action.

 

If you are looking to download a trial of AVG, I would strongly encourage you to do so using http://www.avg.com.au/download as opposed to any other link.

This is not a joke:x

 

IObit reputation is being tarnished for all the unsubstantiated lies being posted on the WWW by jealous competitors.

 

IObit have arrangement with AVG because IObit say so.

 

They are not liars...prove otherwise or shut up!!!

olol, thank you very much for your contribution to this Forum.

 

I think, AVG have done the same thing to the Forum site for the contributions we have seen also in an other thread.

If you want to make more contribution, go to the concerned thread.

 

Have a great day.
