Why does Iobit have such a bad reputation?

[QUOTE="Cheeseman, post: 901663, member: 87927"] I have used many (if not most/all) of Iobit's "tools". I hate to say it but even Avast managed to vastly outperform their protection, and let's be realistic, Avast is definietly not a top-tier dog in the field... "Advanced SystemCare": the software's protection is memetic, a simple .dll file contains the info wether it's the pro, ultimate or free.... No words needed. What I hate about this tool is that it tries to do the magic, which is just adjusting the necessary settings, which requires very little knowledge, let along a CS Degree... Oh and it requires other tools (literally) to do the job. No thanks for me. "Malware Fighter": beyond hope. The only thing it has is the Bitdefender integration. If Malware Fighter fights against malware, adware, etc, than I have serious questions to its makers.... Other avs does a fantastic job there. "uninstaller": it may be good, but there are better options, just use your search tool(s) Questionable the fact, that there's no audit nor any news related to 1. the company 2. its staff 3. its "products" 4. accidents (if any happened). It's a bit shady to me... [/QUOTE]
