If anyone uses software by IOBits, I recommend uninstalling it immediately. If this company is capable of doing something like this, there’s no telling what else they could do (think doing malicious things on your computer). I also recommend boycotting all their products from now on. Original story:

By the way, IOBits is based in China.

EDIT: I like the idea of Malwarebytes flagging IOBit software as rogueware or similar… which means that IOBit software would flag itself for removal. That’ll make sure that IOBit really is stealing the definitions. This was recommended by a commenter on the article I linked above.
