[QUOTE="spaceoctopus, post: 614016, member: 24974"] I would not label these products, from Ashampoo, IObit and Auslogics as malware, but i think Malwarebytes is right to block them. As an example look at Ashampoo's products. They give you tons of giveaways. Ashampoo Burning Studio is a good example. Why give you for ''Free'' 2017 version, while on their main website their is the version 18,which is their latest product?? Interestingly, Burning Studio 2017 is not officially represented on their main website. You really have to go into detailed searching to find it. If you've installed the Burning Studio 2017 compared to the paid Version 18 ([B]Both 2017 latest versions[/B]) , you may have noticed that Burning Studio 2017, despite it's ''Free'', it's full of advertisings and Pops Ups.Obviously it's some kind of manipulation by Ashampoo to force you to buy their paid products. I think it is for these reasons that Malwarebytes is agressive against Ashampoo products. Ashampoo gives you full featured products, all year long in giveaways, because they want to share the love??seriously;) There is a catch somewhere. And i'm pretty sure that those versions of the their softwares seen in giveaways are outdated under the hood, all this hidden with a nice and intuitive GUI.;) [/QUOTE]
