    It made me think twice before using it.. LoL.. since i read a few of the secirity tests they did and it had a better detection rate and its scanning speed is quite okay.. furthermore it has real-time protection.. So what the heck? :p

    I will give it a try since it's free but I'm already satisfied with my current M&S removal program.

    anyone else tried it out? have anything to say?

    I just did a scan to my pendrive.. IObit S360 found tracking cookies on it.. while avira, sas, and mbam didnt found anything..

    Seems that IObit S360 is doing its job well :D

    I wouldn't discard Avira, SAS and MBAM because they didn't warn you about some cookies.
    Check the status of the current real-time protection issues in Iobit Security 360 on this WildersSecurity thread.
    Cheers.

    Hi folks,

    Q1: Since IObit is also a Real Time Scanner would it interfere with my Avira Freeware!?!?

    Thanks,

    G! :)

    I am running this for over 2 weeks now. So far on intrusion from the software, and it is seems to work with Avast and SpywareBlaster with no side effect.

    cheers ...

    I asked about this program months ago, but it was ignored. Never tested it though. I'm fine with SAS+MBAM+SB
