IObit Malware Fighter for Windows

IObit Malware Fighter is a powerful and advanced spyware and malware removal utility that detects and removes the most serious infections. It also protects your computer from potential spyware, adware and keyloggers.

The Bitdefender antivirus engine, IObit Antimalware engine and Anti-ransomware engine are used in the app. IObit Malware Fighter can detect and remove the most difficult spyware and malware in a fast and efficient manner.

IObit's Malware Fighter anti-malware tool is simple to use and well designed. The main window contains four options: Scan. Protect. Update. Action Center. Other settings and features of the app are mostly hidden and accessible in the settings panel to your right. The rest of the window is clean and crisp with scanning options and options that can be toggled on/off.

The new Safe Box and the upgraded Anti-ransomware Engine double protect your computer from ransomware attacks. MBR Guard has been added to protect your computer against malicious attacks on MBR such as GoldenEye/Petya attacks. Notification Center is another notable feature that allows you to view and manage all important messages in one click.

IObit's Malware Fighter did not claim false positives during testing. It detected the usual temp files stored in the browser. The scan speeds were good considering the size of the drive and the file structure. The app flags the absence of Smart Defrag and Advanced SystemCare as a problem. Although this would not be a problem in and of itself, it does not allow you to clear the warnings. After 'fixing' the warnings, IObit will automatically download and install other apps. Malware Fighter, despite IObit's shameless self-publication, is a great choice if you are looking for a lightweight, easy-to-use malware scanner.
