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.
I have a very similar problem. It's not necessarily related to yahoo mail, but to Firefox and Iobit MF. I have FF 5.01 and MF 1.11. Each has been updated in the last month. For a very long time, I was able to use FF with Iobit 360 with absolutely no problems. then the upgrade to MF and it was ok for a while. Then, with the last updates to MF, things went crazy. I could open initially in FF. Then if I wanted to open up a new tab, it would try connecting continuously. The previous tab would lock up. I tried exiting FF by X'ing out and by task mgr. When I would try restarting FF, it would give me an error message saying FF was running in the background and needed to be exited before restarting. Long story short, the only way to get out of this was to re-boot. I am now not using MF and when I do this, FF runs with no problems.
This was exactly my problem, but only time it seemed to happen was when I went to Yahoo mail. Otherwise, everything worked fine, UNTIL... this morning. Until today, I was always able to just exit out of MF by right clicking on the icon in my taskbar and clicking exit. But as of today, MF would run without an icon in the taskbar, and I could not find a way to exit out of the program. So as of now, I have deleted the program, and that was a nightmare in itself. Had to rename the files in the MF program, and downloaded Unlocker so I could delete those damn .dll files that didnt want to delete because they were in use from the time of startup. Thanks Iobit for this lousy MF program. I used to swear up and down about your products, and even had some friends buy your products. Now I will be much more skeptical in the future with my recommendations.
I tried using IMF with chrome and every so often, it'd completely lock up. The same thing would happen with IE8. I couldn't close the processes in task manager either. The computer wouldn't log off and shut down on its own because it couldn't close those processes, so the only fix was to crash it and reboot.
Like a number of other users I used Security 360 for months without any problems. After iObit switched it out for iObit Malware Fighter it was OK until an update in the middle of July. Then my Browsers would stop responding or slow down drastically and I often could not restart my PC unless I performed a warm reboot. I proved through trail and error that IMF.exe was the culprit and disabled Malware Fighter at Startup to prevent the problems.
I would caution anyone else following this procedure to just rename the existing files with a .OLD designation before replacing them. This is just good sense as it keeps the original file intact if you need to reinstall it for some reason. That said, this fix did work and I have deleted the original files now.:smile:
I had problems with chrome 13 and FF 5 hanging up when checking yahoo mail then closed but the processes were still running and I could not terminate FF or Chrome. Had to reboot everytime, also chrome would tell me that it could not load my personal profile. I disabled IOBit malware fighter and am pleased to report FF 6 and chrome are running perfect.
I finally just deleted Chrome and accidentally deleted the Chrome updater so I cannot even get Chrome to open. I had to go back to FF 3.6.19 it is the only version that works. Opera would freeze, they all hang and then I have to do a hard shut.

I had the same problems of all Browsers freezing/hanging when IMF is in real-time protection mode.I downloaded the 'replace.rar' ,extracted the three files,copied/pasted them in IMF folder,replacing the existing files.
I appreciate your clear and simple directions sometimes directions are just too advanced for us newbies who are trying to teach ourselves how to use computers on a limited budget! Your directions were great!
Program Files(x86) is the 32 bit program folder for a 64 bit system, all 64 bit programs would go in to Program Files. But IObit doesn't make any 64 bit programs yet, so a 64 bit OS will install any IObit program in Program Files(x86).
I thought it would be wise to cover this, because 64 bit is our future. 32 bit's days are numbers. Once Microsoft release Windows 8, it only be available for 64bit PCs and the yet to be released 128 bit PCs. 32 Bit PCs will no longer be able to run a Windows Operating System after Windows 7. I think we need to be thinking about that now as PC users. And I think Software developers should be thinking about it too. Sure I can use a 32 bit program on my 64 bit PC's OS, but 32 bit programs (Such as IObit) are not taking hold of the full power of the 64 bit architecture. When Windows 8 hit 64 bit will be the new standard, like 32 bit has been forever. So do you want be left behind or be at the forefront. The choice is yours IObit, the choice is yours.
"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. Through the years it already has detected several threats and removed it. In cooperation with the other IObit programs, like for example ASC, I have a good PC protection. I now recommend these programs to all my friends and family."
"I am very satisfied with your product IObit Malware Fighter. Previously this product came to me I had a lot of troubles with malicious interferences, I was not able to watch an entire movie or concert, which I like very much. Due to your product now every operation is clear, safe and well protected. It scans my laptop without affecting its performance while I also recommended this product to two of my friends."
"I would like to say a great thanks to all the staff at IObit for working hard to bring us the best programs out. It is great update you have made for your users. It is lot quicker at scanner and easy to use. People who really want a good Malware and ant-virus program which is also good value for money need to look no further than IObit Malware Fighter. I would recommend that they forget the rest and get the best which is IObit Malware Fighter."
"I have used many malware fighters but none has come near the efficiency and accuracy of IObit Malware Fighter. It is easy to set up, easy to use and easy to feel relaxed that your computer is not to be invaded by maleficent invaders set upon infecting your communications with viruses and program destroying malware."
