Who's Right, Iobit Or Mbam?

    I installed Iobit Advanced System Care 11.2 (ASC) and MalwareBytesAntiMalware 3.4 (MBAM), both downloaded from MG. MBAM is flagging 14 PUPs in ASC, including asc.exe itself. Both programs are recommended by MG but what are we supposed to believe? If I accept the MBAM run and quarantine the 14 items, that would disable ASC.

    EDIT - MBAM has quarantined ASC next time I tried to run it.

    MBAM has never liked ASC.

    Seems it isn't possible to have both installed and working.

    You can whitelist it in MBAM.

    OK, thanks Tim.
    Interesting bit of history which tends to reinforce my innate suspicions of Iobit. But for the time being it suits me to use it

    Thanks guys :cool:
