    IOBIT Premium Services


    Has anyone dealt with IOBIT Premium services? A few years ago I got caught up in Iyogi and will not go down that road again. Frankly, in calling IOBIT it sounded a lot like the same sales pitch, but thank goodness I didn't have to have him repeat himself 5 times. The service is in Houston.

    I just have to face that I need some support. I love this forum and it has helped me out a lot, but I am just spending too much productivity time trying to stay ahead of the game.

    Right now my machine runs like a prime candidate for PCMatic, But I don't really trust them. Any scan I run or monitor that I run says everything is fine, but it is not.

    I am about ready to wipe everything and start over, but I hate to do that. Any support services suggestions would be appreciated.

    I am not a fan of prpgrams like PC Matic, or any other such products. They promise much but deliver little. They are quite good an detecting registry errors that are of little or no consequence but not very useful with real problems. I wouldn't use such a program if it was free.

    I tend to agree. I am just swamped with work and hate to spend time troubleshooting every day. That is why I am contemplating wiping everything and starting over. But then who's to say it won't come back again in short order.

    I have done full system scans with Malwarebytes, Norton 360, and Iobit Maware fighter. They all say everything is peachy, but it is definitely not.

    This machine should be a screamer, but it dog slow and none of the big three web browsers perform worth a hoot. Chrome works the best, but freezes the whole computer when I exit it. Just too many little problems to explain accurately.

    With a little research on this Forum and others I would not have IOBIT no mater what it claims on any of my computers. **WARNING**
    Advance System Care **WARNING**

    Thank you so much Layback Bear!
    Just a little history. The machine was running pretty well, but I started getting BSOD's which the guys over in BSOD section helped me pinpoint the cause, and also suggested I get rid of my IOBIT products as well as Norton and keep it simple with just MSE and MalwareBytes. I followed those instructions, but since then the machine has been very slow especially when in Windows Explorer and any browser. In a bit of desperation I re-installed IOBIT and Norton.

    Perhaps the best thing to do now is remove IOBIT and Norton Products and go from there.

    When you remove IOBIT and Nortons please use their online removal tools. You will probably find the sites in your thread with the people over at BSOD.
    Remember that the help you got in the BSOD Thread and me shared the information about these two programs did it to help you. I would recommend believing us. We mean you no harm.
    Keep this in mind; when you remove IOBIT their still might be damage left behind. Many have had to do a clean install to get things fix. Hopefully a sfc /scannow will fix things. If you choose to use this please read and understand the instructions.

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Oh, I have come to trust you good folks very much, and appreciate the help. It was in a bit of a panic that I re-installed those products. In fact I have wondered if there is a way I can support the site since I doubt I will ever be of much help to anyone. I am always on the receiving end.

    Thanks again, Rich

    Bull bananas. You keep hanging around and learning you will be one of the helpers. I do much more reading and learning than I do posting.

    Thanks for the encouragement LB! I have gained a lot of speed by removing my Advanced System Care and Norton 360. What is your opinion of IObit Malware Fighter? Worth keeping or chuck that too? I have MalwareBytes Pro And MSE going. Good enough?

    Now to search for solutions to my browser problems.

    Keep nothing IOBIT is my suggestion!!

    Did you do the sfc /scannow?

    In my opinion PCMatic is another program that talks a lot and does nothing good and may cause problems.
    PCMatic is like a Ronco product as see on T.V.
    **Chops, dices, slices,makes coffee and mows your lawn. I run from such products.

    I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes Anti Malware Pro.
    I also use Super Anti Spyware free
    Filehippo Updater free
