IObit Steals Malwarebytes' Intellectual Property

Malwarebytes has recently uncovered evidence that a company called IObit based in China is stealing and incorporating its proprietary database and intellectual property into their software. Read the full story.



IObit replies with a declaration: "No hard proof shows that IObit stole database of Malwarebytes".


Few days ago, IObit has included a IE ToolBar in the software installation (quickly replaced by a Yahoo Toolbar).



The toolbar was made by Conduit, a well known spyware company. The mistake was done. Corrected, but unethical for a security company. IObit should have known.



There is more: IObit is hosting porn pages content with active link to porn sites:





Promoting security tools with porn pages. This is definitely unethical.
