Me too. In the past I've found Malwarebytes to be good and would imagine
they operate more honorably that some upstart Chinese outfit.

No. They stole the database. There is NO DOUBT about it.

Their detection rate sored when they implemented them and their detection rate dropped
when they removed them.

Their "growing number of daily downloads from MajorGeeks" means absolutely nothing. Like
you, they have no idea about their plagiarism. As a MBAM employee I knew what was going
on and I know the MBAM database and HOW they could have obtained it. Malwarebytes laid a
trap for IOBit and they fell right into it. It wasn't until they fell into that trap was
the subject matter disclosed publicly.

What people fail to recognize is that the Chinese do NOT understand what "Intellectual
Property Rights" are. The Chinese steal from other countries every hour of every day and
do whatever they can to make China a "world leader". Why do you think China is the "knock
off" capital of the world ?

I could produce NUMEREOUS examples from Disney movies to archetectual drawings. As a
malware researcher I know how Chinese Malware is used to exfiltrate data to gain a
"competitive edge". I also have other information from another source that I can't even
discuss.

This is not "one companys' word against another".
Marcin and Bruce created non-malicious fake malware and created a signature pattern and
included it in the MBAM Database. When IObit was found to detect this "never released"
and "fake malware" using the detection name Marcin and Bruce created, there was no doubt.
IOBit had plagiarized the database. This was a well thought out trap and IOBit fell right
into it.

I remember "our" discussions PRIOR to Marcin releasing the news.
