Hmmmm...If I'm not wrong this company, based in China (China?? Huh again? hmmm what a funny coincidence....LOL!!), stole the proprietary database and intellectual property of the award-winning FREE antispyware Malwarebyte's Antimalware some time ago....

This is enough for me to stay away from them even if their product was FREE forever and not just for 6 months like this GAOTD....

BEST (and BETTER) FREE ALTERNATIVES based on my experience(without any kind of license limitation, of course!!):

- Emsisoft Antimalware (FREE edition allows you to use it as on-demand scanner only)
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/antimalware/

- Comodo Cleaning Essentials + Comodo Rescue Disk

- Malwarebyte's Antimalware
http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/mbar

- Rogue Killer
Pretty unknown but in my view terrific FREE tool designed to scan all running processes on your system, automatically killing those who turned out to be malicious.
It can be used to enable the execution of disinfection programs, usually blocked by rogue processes/programs out there.

- Universal Virus Sniffer
Yet again another pretty unknown but, despite that, excellent FREE tool for searching and removing unknown 0-day malware (viruses, rootkits, and bootkits), often missed by other more famous FREE/PAID antivirus and antispyware software out there. Can also be used to troubleshoot all those registry issues, users usually must deal with, after an antivirus treatment, as well as restore damaged/missing Windows files.

"There's absolutely no reason to buy or even try IObit Malware Fighter 2. It doesn't function as an antivirus and doesn't effectively fight malware. In testing, it reported seven thoroughly infested systems as perfectly clean. Avoid it."

stay away from iobit. i liked their previous gaotd offering so much that i bought the upgrade. 2-3 months prior to the end of my pd term, the program reverted to the free version. when that happened, it royally screwed up my system, making it quite unstable.

Reports "problems" if their other bloatware -- ASC & Fast Defrag -- isn't installed. Press the Fix button and it installs this crap.

All that MIGHT be tolerable if this offering actually did something. Sadly, it doesn't

So ... basically this is scamware from yet ANOTHER Chinese company to put their other bloatware on your system ... and make you pay for it.

ThANKS GAOTD for your (continuing) efforts to pollute your users' harddrives.

Beware of what it finds!!!!!, after a 1/2 full scan of a 250gig Dell windows 8 Pro system it detected that 3 of my legit software programs were maleware which one of them was my TomTom lifetime maps update program, another one was my download manager, amother that it found was 21 funmoods which is my Dell Webcam software, so take care of what you let it repair, some of your programs may not work afterwards, if your not sure leave it alone, I consider this software to be very dangerous for the common computer user!!!!!
