A-squared false report about IObit.

[blacksea]

A-sqaured guard detect http://www.iobit.com/ as a fraudulent host.

See attachment.

 

Translation about what the guard has to say about IObit; This site belongs to one of the many fake websites that try to spread security and / or sell. Nepscanners that suddenly all malware detected on your system and it only charges could remove. These are programs like Spyware Quake, SpyFalcon, Adware Alert, XP Antivirus 2008, etc.

 

I posted this threat to let IObit aware of this situation.

A2 Squared is famous for false positives, looks like another false information of sorts.

 

I used to use it as it is very good at detection, but lets itself down with far too many false positives leaving people in a quandry do i delete / quarantine / leave alone till next update to see if fixed. The false positives are so frequent lots of users have moved to other more reliable software.

 

well spotted blacksea i hope iobit have a word in their ear to put them right
