After looking over IObit's response, it does however seem plausible that due to lack of copyright laws and lack of consequences for breaking other countries laws, the analyst probably just doesn't care where the definitions are coming from. On the other hand, China has long been known to steal what they can't figure out for themselves, and this seems like classic reverse engineering (to a point). I work for Briggs and Stratton Corporation, and it is commonplace for the Chinese to copy our designs. I'm not sure who the Chinese manufacturer is that makes it, but one company makes an exact copy of our "5 HP" engine, it's just missing the B&S stickers. You can take the parts off of each and interchange them. The Chinese knock-off is of much lower quality however, and usually fails the 1000 hour test ending in total destruction. While this is worlds apart from security software, it goes to show just how unscrupulous the Chinese are. As far as suing them, Good Luck!" You can't sue China, they won't enforce any judgments against "themselves." -DIIS I have long been a fan of Malwarebytes (they haven’t been around that long), and was appalled when I read that IObit had stolen their database.

If I would have known I never would have ran the program to begin with. I'm glad to say it's off my computer for good no matter the out come. Like you I didn’t know it was a Chinese company.
