Reviews for IObit Malware Fighter 7 PRO
never finds anything. ever. all it does is track you and send your data to china. it supposedly uses bitdefender engine, but fails all lab tests where bitdefender is top of tests. this indicates it isn’t really using bitdefender engine, or it is using a very very old one.

Iobit is not a Chinese company so you may want to actually do some research before making comments regarding a product you’re getting for FREE. It’s amazing how you millennials like to complain. If you want complete Bitdefender antivirus, PAY FOR IT. Iobit states the software uses the Bitdefender engine. Not that it is updated with the Bitdefender definitions in real time. One would think that someone would actually read before making ridiculous comments.
It’s the only anti-malware program I have ever installed that never finds any bugs. I like all of Iobits products but this one, it wasn’t ever any good.

That’s right, because I installed the program from iObit Malware Figher to make the Windows Defender program stopped because it clashed with iObit MF. Even though I think this application is specifically for antimalware like Malwarebytes, ByteFence, etc.
It looks nice but of 10 well known viruses it will detect 5..
Antimalware is programs that defend against all malware. The main malware groups are Trojans, viruses, spyware, adware, worms, rootkits, phishing. Antimalware software is definitely more complete than antivirus programs. In today’s world, having a defense against all the malwares is necessary for all PC users. There are many applications available, some that do not come with complete range of features, while others do not offer strong protection.
IObit Malware Fighter 6 PRO is a straightforward antimalware and antispyware tool, that is designed to help protect your PC from many type of risks and attacks. It helps you remove existing ransomware infections, prevent new attacks, and protect your data from all sorts of threats.
Installation & Set-up
The installer size is ~40MB, and the installation process is simple and straightforward, taking no time at all to complete. Launching it for the first time, you can activate the application for use with the license key, if you have one. Once done, the application automatically performs the first scan on your PC, detects and removes all the malware and other malicious programs that may put your privacy and security at risk.
User Interface
The UI of the application has a modern and intuitive design that is easy to understand and use. The UI has a dark background with good-looking icons, and all the features and tools are divided in different relative tabs. On the home tab, there is a button to initiate a smart scan, the other three buttons at the bottom right are to enable/disable antimalware, antiransomware, and Bitdefender engines. There are five other tabs, namely Scan, Ransomware guard, Browser protect, Security guard, and Action Center. All the other tabs except the Action Center, let you perform different scans, adjust different settings, view stats, and more. Action Center shows you other useful tools by the same developer, and allows you to install them at the click of a button.

Cons
– Slow scanning speeds compared to other similar applications.

Conclusion
IObit Malware Fighter 6 PRO is a simple and straightforward application designed to help you fight against all the malicious applications and programs that put your privacy at risk. It comes with plenty of useful tools, that can come in handy. The application runs smoothly without any lag or errors, it is definitely worth-trying.
Having used v.4.5 for over a year, v.5.0 is a much improved and significantly faster. The initial install will take its own time but after that it speeds along. The Bitdefender engine is probably the best of its kind, bar none. The new “anti-ransom” feature is welcome and forward thinking. Homepage, Anti-tracking, DNS protect, Plug-in/Tool cleaner, Surfing protect & Ads removal, and (new) Download protect are all there. IObit is noted for its “Advanced SystemCare” and Bitdefender for its top-rated anti-virus/firewall components. Highly recommend these companies’ combined software! Recommend anything produced by each company.
Flawless. Good along side Windows Defender
I’ve been using this program (free version) for the last 4-5 months as a 2nd opinion anti-malware checker after IOLO system mechanic. This program always find a number of suspicious malware items that SM missed. Of course a further check sometimes finds other suspicious items that both have missed. Nothing on this planet is perfect but this program helps sort out more crap that gets into out PC’s.
IObit Malware Fighter Pro 4 promises an improved protection from malware and phishing compared to the previous version which was a major flop. Perhaps the major improvement in IObit Malware Fighter Pro 4 is the integration of the Bitdefender engine to help in detection and elimination of malware. Combined with the IObit Malware’s own engine, I was curious to see just how effective this software was.
Installation is quite easy until you realize that by launching the interface, you are actually just about halfway the installation process. You have to activate each feature individually; beginning with the Bitdefender engine. Here, you’ll have to enter the license key first. Even after installation, it didn’t perform quite as I expected.
Pros
Beautiful user interface
Perhaps the best thing about this software is the light and uncluttered user interface. It features 4 main tiles indicating which features are activated and which ones are not. It also shows the engine status and whether your PC is secure or not.
Uses Bitdefender engine
I got the urge to give IObit Malware Fighter Pro another chance due to the incorporation of the Bitdefender engine. Although this is better than their previous engine, it’s still underutilized.
Cons
Not friendly for novice users
I would expect the licensed version to come with the engine turned on by default. Also, the all the other features come while turned off which might cause problems to those who are not familiar with malware programs.
Scanning takes too long
The initial scan takes over an hour and a half, and most of the time it will freeze the computer. Even after the scan, it still couldn’t detect malware that even Windows Defender had detected earlier.
False warnings at the action center
The action center will forever say the computer is not secure until you click on the links given to install additional software. The bad thing is that, you also need to get separate licenses for these additional software programs.
Poor malware detection capabilities
IObit Malware Fighter Pro 4 couldn’t even get some programs that Windows defender categorized as malware. It required that I install them for it to detect, even after which it only detected two of the 5 samples.
Browser protection doesn’t work
Even after turning on browser protection and restarting my computer, it still allowed me to access some websites that ESET Internet Security classifies as malicious.
Conclusion
A few hours and extended periods of freezing my computer during tests later, I just had to uninstall IObit Malware Fighter Pro 4. It’s not worth downloading. There are a couple of free software that will do a better job than this.

I was warned about the weakness on detection in this program many years ago…basically it has a nice face but shit for brains. all show and no real help…stay clear like Dennis said above.
your reviews are the only ones i read and adhere to . I do not trust a chinese company and it never finds anything i purposely tested it using a test piece of harmless malware that should have been detected that malwarebytes picked up and this did not detect it i assume the positive ” I love it ” reviews are from I Orbit people
