So, it’s not uncommon to find this combination of software installed on users’ machines.Īs a consequence, many users are now up in arms as they discover that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has removed Advanced SystemCare from their systems. Advanced SystemCare is one of IObit’s most popular products, if not the most popular, and, of course, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is also extremely popular.

Now, it appears that the latest version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is flagging IObit’s Advanced SystemCare as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). Although IObit never publicly admitted to the theft, they did eventually take actions which clearly suggested that they were guilty as charged: I’m guessing most would be aware that some time ago, back in late 2009, Malwarebytes accused Chinese based company IObit of stealing its definition database. So, it appears the acrimonious relationship between Malwarebytes and IObit continues on.

Advanced SystemCare users are up in arms as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware removes IObit’s popular system cleaning/optimization tool from their computers.
