Hey guys,

Recently, the well established and well known company, IObit, has released a new app that goes along nicely with their already excellent set of FREE software. Their acclaimed Advanced System Care Free is an excellent choice in PC maintenance as well as their Defrag software and lets see if their latest App can live up to the rest.

IObit Security 360 BETA was released out on 9th June to the general public. This is supposedly IObit’s effort to allow PC users to eliminate malware in general from their PC’s.

Here’s what IObit has to say:

IObit Security 360 is an advanced malware & spyware removal utility that detects, removes and protects your PC from various of potential spyware, adware, trojans, keyloggers, bots, worms, and hijackers. With the unique “Dual-Core” engine and the heuristic malware detection, IObit Security 360 detects the most complex and deepest spyware and malware in a very fast and efficient way. IObit Security 360 has a real-time malware protection and frequent automatic updating for prevention of zero-day security threats. IObit Security 360 can work with your Antivirus for a superior PC security.

IObit also likes to show the key features of IObit Security 360 in this list of ‘Key Features and Benefits’:

Complete PC Security Care

Antimalware, antispyware, anti-adware, anti-Trojan, anti-bots, and more. There will be no antivirus and firewall functions in this version, but we can help your Antivirus defend any tricky and complex threat.

Currently, there is not any solution that offers a 100% effectiveness rate for detecting viruses and malware. You may become a victim of misleading advertising, if you buy such a product under those premises.

1-click Solution and Very Easy to Use

Traditional Advantages of IObit. We love simple and automatic style.

Very Fast and Light

Thanks to the unique “Dual-Core” anti-malware engine, complicated analysis can be made faster now.

Finds the Deepest Infections

We use DOG (Digital Original Gene), a novel heuristic malware detection method, to find the most complex threats.

Automatic and Frequent Updates

IObit Security 360 Team is ready now.

Work with All Antivirus Products

Everyone needs a qualified antivirus software, And IObit Security 360 will surely be the best mate for your current Antivirus.

Free for Home/Non-commercial Use

Scan & Remove is free, and real-time protection is free too. You will love this small but powerful free anti-malware.

Due to it being fairly new in the market, so to speak, there hasn’t been any extensive testing of the software to see just how effective it is. However, trusting IObit is something I have done for a long time now and I doubt they’ll disappoint this time.

Just remember that this is still BETA software so there may be some bugs and some features that are not yet fully functional.

So, if you are willing to add another anti-spyware to your PC security I find no harm in installing this app!

iObit ‘Game Booster’! April 13, 2009

Hey guys,

I have posted about iObit many a time before and so far all posts have been very positive about them. In particular about their PC System Care and their Smart Defrag applications. Both are excellent in each field.

But now, iObit have ventured into another field, the field of gaming. They recently launched Beta 3 of their new software – Game Booster. This software is aimed to eliminate all other processes that your computer is running and dedicate the core processing and RAM power of your PC into the games that you play.

Here is a quick screenshot:

Above shows the main screen of the application and here it displays all the things that will be stopped once gaming mode has been turned on.
To turn it on, all it takes is a simple click of the main button near the top and voila, wait a few secs and you’re in gaming mode.
Once you’ve played to your heart’s content, just click another big button indication an off switch and you’re back to your normal PC mode.
I have to say that iObit again have truly outdone themselves. Loving this app so far. It actually does make a difference.
Bye!
