You sound like a muppet. I didn't do too bad, been happily retired for
14 years now. I hope you can say the same one day. If you ever
attended one of those all day seminars, ate lunch, and settled in for
the remainder of the presentation, everyone that I know, and you could
take a look around the room, and you would see heads bobbing and
snapping back, even had one guy fall off his chair (that woke every
body up lol.

That "...MBAM should have done a better job of protecting their database.." is something I
am in TOTAL agreement on. I was a reseracher, not a programmer and they should have
protected the "heart" of the appliucation.

I have NO problem bashing any plagiarist !

Iobit couldn't sue me for anything. libel implies I'm speaking
falsehoods, and I can prove otherwise if they ever wanted to play that
game in a united states courtroom. My claims are validated, iobit had our
data, iobit released an "updated" version with the data removed (after
mbam raised an issue about this theft), that versions database was
several megabytes smaller, lacking thousands of definitions the previous
version had, including a fake definition for a malware sample that didn't
really exist. Yea, iobit would love to goto court and try to talk there
way out of all that, I'm sure. /sarcasm.

BB, this is clearly one case where I know alot more than you about it, I
was there, as a researcher, you are just a end user of the products; You
have no background or insider knowledge of the subject. Sorry, but that's
the way it is.

Especially since everyone past and currently on the research team can prove
our claims with iobit, we did, they released a new version which didn't
contain our stuff. :) And! We weren't the only company they pulled this
with. The creator of the infamous hijackthis utility noticed it was also
stolen and incorporated into iobits software for a time.

IObit are thieving roguing fucks.

I'm not trashing iobit, I'm giving a history lesson on how iobit treats
it's competitors. If iobit has an issue with it, I invite them to sue me.
