As in, retired; 10 years and counting... Just to keep the record, fair.. ya know. MBAM is not a replacement for your antivirus; and we don't ever claim to be. That's official company policy, not something I came up with. Again, just to keep the record fair. -- Dustin Cook [Malware Researcher] MalwareBytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org BugHunter - http://bughunter.it-mate.co.uk

>Most welcome - spread the word ! But does MalwareBytes claims stand up? I am not doubting their veracity but it maybe that some other explanation accounts for what they observed. I read http://news.softpedia.com/news/Malwarebytes-Accuses-IObit-Plays-Dead-126389.shtml and http://blog.iobit.com/archives/95.html and it does not seem conclusive. IOBit might have done but they might not. The evidence does not seem beyond reasonable doubt. Cheers Stephen Howe |
