Malware Fighter Pro
Jenelle Centeno
I uninstalled, rebooted and then reinstalled it. The result was the same, as I had expected. I then uninstalled it again and installed a trial of ASC Ultimate. With the default settings, CPU usage is between 24% and 34% when scanning. Which is perfectly acceptable.
Iobit Malware fighter is still too heavy for my liking, but Advanced System Care Ultimate is actually pretty good. I like it better than Bitdefender Antivirus and the detection rate is within 1-2% of Bitdefender's antivirus so it's detection rate is pretty good and they are constantly improving the engine for zero day threats as well.
I have used previous versions of IMF, on different computers and didn't have this issue. However, I'm not sure the last version I used, other than this one, where I took note of CPU usage, as it's been quite some time, since I used IMF as my antivirus on the main computer I use.
I had never run a Full Scan. This is something I usually avoid with all antiviruses. However, I just did a custom scan of C and let it complete. I didn't run a Full Scan, as there a 25 partitions on this system, so t would take a very long time. Running the scan of C did not reduce CPU use on subsequent scans. Also, it's important to note that with ASC Ultimate there was no excessive CPU use, even on the very first scan.
"The program uses two AV engines, its own and BitDefender, and seems to be effective against malware that cannot be detected by other similartools so it is good that it can run together with your standard AV software. It can detect a wide array of spyware, ransomware, adware, Trojans, worms, keyloggers and bots."
"We used to use up to a dozen different programs to keep our machines running smoothly and keep the bad guys out. It took hours every week to maintain security and performance. Now, with IObit Malware Fighter Pro and Advanced System Care Pro, everything is in one place and it takes us just a few minutes every couple of days to do the same jobs with much more confidence. We have not had a problem since using your products."
"Some years ago somebody drew my attention to IObit Malware Fighter. First I was sceptic. But after installing it, it became my favourite anti-malware program. It is very easy to use.

I now recommend these programs to all my friends and family."

"I'm using Iobit Malware Fighter PRO for quite a some time now. I must say I'm impressed with a fact, how littlere sources IMF uses during scan and in general all together. I like it's interface becouse it's simple and efficient. I own DELL PC with OEM WIN8 upgraded to WIN8.1 as soon it launches. After some time IE11 stoped working and METRO apps starts miss behave. I tryed to solve issue with Windows defender, but without success. I decided to try IMF Free and I'm glad I did. I was able to clean my system and restore all vital function without reseting it to factory level. Thank you IMF. Thumbs up, keep the good work."
For some reason when I click on my Windows Media Center EntryPoints (Their like desktop icons, but for Windows Media Center) in Windows Media Center with Malware Fighter File Guard on. Instead of it launching an external program (Such as Hulu Desktop) like normal, when I had Security 360. It goes to a black screen and locks up my computer to a point that I have to do a hard shutdown. With File Guard off everything launches just fine. It only happens when File Guard is on. I could understand Maleware Fighter blocking it and needing me to tell it to allow it, but it doesn't. Malware Fighter just locks up my pc and forces me to do hard shutdown, because I can't even do a ctrl+alt+delete. When it happens. I've been using IObit software for a few years now, so I'm not gonna jump ship on you guys. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up and hope that there is some way that you could fix this issue in a future update. Thank you in advance for reading the post and for any help you might be able to offer me with this issue.
very unhappy with this IObit and it has cost me much in time, frustration and also money. I request a refund for the Advance system pro if they actually rerad these posts and respond in a timely manner.
Well, I think I've run the gambit on trying to figure out why it's doing what it's doing. Back in the early spring I got a tip from someone to try Iobit software. I tried it out and enjoyed all of it. Security 360 seemed to work pretty well, so I bought it. Not long after, however, they changed to Malware Fighter. It does a wonderful job of detecting threats and such...when it works.
1. When returning to my computer after it had been idle for some time (i.e. Morning to check email), it seemed to be constantly processing. Pages in Firefox wouldn't load but continually try to connect. Other programs, including Task Manager of all things, wouldn't load. Hourglass for so much longer than it should be. My computer wouldn't even Shut Down or Restart.
3. When installing some new software for my mouse, MF wanted to know if I wanted to block it. I couldn't get my mouse unplugged and plugged back in time to tell it I didn't want it blocked. I go to the UI and attempt to find the file in a Blocked list. As far as I can tell, there is no list or way to change what MF has blocked.
All scans that I have done with my various tools have turned up nothing malicious. When I kept MF from running and tried another similar tool in it's place, I didn't have any problems, nor did I seem to have problems under Security 360.
When IMF is active, and I visit yahoo mail, Firefox becomes unresponsive and an entire reboot of system is needed. If I deactivate IMF before logging in to the internet, there is no problem when visiting yahoo mail. For me, it seems that only the combo of IMF and yahoo mail seem to cause the problem.
