But it's not implemented in the same way as the original, and doesn't include the same level of real-time protection, so it's unlikely you'll get the same degree of malware-blocking effectiveness as with Bitdefender's own products.Īdding IObit's own engine may help protect you from even more threats, but we're unconvinced. We do know that Malware Fighter Pro includes the excellent Bitdefender engine, which is a definite plus.

Unfortunately, that's not possible here as IObit isn't covered by any of them. IObit Malware Fighter Pro had average detection results in our tests, but as they are too small-scale to give a definitive picture of antivirus accuracy, we normally check how a product is reviewed by the major testing labs. And, confusingly, although the extension no longer blocked the page, its History list still recorded that we had visited a dangerous site.

The URL wasn't on a whitelist, so there was no obvious way to undo this and have it blocked again. When we tried to visit it again, the browser let us access the page without any further warning.

We tried visiting a falsely flagged site in Chrome, bypassed the warning and were able to visit it. There doesn't appear to be any sensible whitelisting system, either. And when we tried to access a site marked as dangerous, it told us the information was provided by ' Google and IObit', suggesting it may not offer much more protection than we'd get from Chrome alone. Ad blocking didn't match top add-ons such as uBlock Origin. We set up the extension anyway, but weren't too impressed.

You'll only get the Chrome extension if you manually locate and install it from the Chrome store. Tapping a Details link shows it's been added to Explorer, Edge and Firefox, but there's no mention of Chrome. Malware Fighter's interface marked 'Surfing Protection' as on, which most users will assume mean they are protected. Other packages take a similar approach, but somehow IObit makes a horrible mess of the installation process. A separate crash in another folder persuaded us that this probably wasn't some rare one-off issue: Malware Fighter Pro really can be that flaky.Ĭrashing is bad, but somehow IObit found a way to make the situation worse.Īn 'IObit Surfing Protection & Ads Removal' browser extension aims to block ads, highlight dangerous links in search engine results and prevent access to malicious sites. Some oddball fluke? We rebooted, tried again, reinstalled and tried again, with the same results.

We tried running full system scans, but found Malware Fighter Pro kept crashing in the same folder tree. But if a Smart Scan was running, IObit simply switched to the Smart Scan window and left us waiting to get the results. If you need to check a file from Explorer, for instance, you can normally right click it, select Scan with IObit and get a report immediately. It wasn't possible to run scans in parallel. Scanning speeds are below average, not least because the package can spend up to a minute on an 'initialize database' step before it even starts to do anything else. IObit's Smart Scan is the standard way to check your computer, and works its way through system areas, currently active processes, the Registry and key files.

Whether any malware would bother to do this is open to question - and if malicious code is able to run on your system then you're in big trouble, anyway - but this is still a vulnerability we don't usually see elsewhere. Any process with administrator rights can freely delete its core service, for instance. It's improved a little, but still has its weaknesses. In previous reviews we've found that Malware Fighter's processes to be poorly protected, and could be disabled by malware using little more than a basic batch file. If anything, enabling remote access could be far more complicated.) (And no, we saw not the tiniest reason why 'remote activation' would make this easier. This kicked off another setup process as Malware Fighter downloaded and installed the Bitdefender engine, but the package didn't require any further intervention, and we were able to leave it to finish the job.
