[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 747826, member: 61892"] That depends, how you choose the software. For me, trust is important. I would never use a software, I could not trust, no matter how good it is. Iobit stole the code and pretended it to be its own, then sold it as such. There is nothing worse in dev community than stoling someone's work. But aside from that Iobit was always scareware. Pretending to find 1000 errors and offering to fix them, once you buy it. Not to mention my favorite: Increasing computer performance by 1200%, eventually they got it down to a more realistic number and dropped it to 900% only. :D As of now, Iobit software is OK, not bad, but nothing special. Its driver updater is mediocre at best. Its cleaner is fine, but there are better options. [/QUOTE]
