Not So Hot
The antivirus field in general is growing and evolving, with most products doing at least a decent job of rooting out malware and preventing new infections. IObit Malware Fighter 2, recently reviewed for the first time by PCMag, is a notable exception. In both my malware blocking and malware removal tests, it achieved new low scores.
For malware removal, IObit scored an unprecedented 0.8 of 10 possible points; the next-lowest score was 4.2 points. IObit identified seven of my twelve malware-infested systems as perfectly clean. It earned just 1.5 points for malware blocking, far below the next-lowest score of 5.9 points, yet still managed to identify some valid programs as suspicious. The best thing I can say about this program is that it has plenty of room for improvement.

IObit Malware Fighter 2 Review

Hi,
Let me clarify:
I have heard that there are copycats of adobe update for flash player which actually are malware. About 6 months back while updating the OS, I had the popup. I was distracted and clicked install. Later it struck me that I did not have the player. But after that I could not update anything. Not Malwarebytes nor super antispyware. I could only update MSE. I tried for a couple of days, and as there was no progress, Just formatted and reinstalled. I don't watch on line videos.
I was directed to a site, probably by Microsoft I think, because I don't remember, to install java and I did. I am certain both are very respected sites as I am very set in surfing habits and I do not stray.
Regards.

Hi,
Thank You for the detailed info. I did not know this. Any suggestions for a free real time malware fighter? Or does MSE and avast suffice?
Regards.
