![]() ![]() ![]() What’s most likely is that IObit downloaded the junk by itself. IObit Start Menu 8 (Named & Shamed, Issue 495) did have a PUP in its installer, but I was careful to avoid it. I recently tested the new beta parallel release of IObit Uninstaller, but its installer didn’t contain junk. Where did this pre-emptive rubbish come from? From other IObit software, perhaps. ASC itself has never installed on my PC, but the sudden appearance of this ASC-related junk suggests IObit is hoping it soon will. This useless extra program is pre-ticked in IObit adverts and currently appears unticked, in the installer for IObit Uninstaller Free. This week, Malwarebytes AdwCleaner (adwcleaner) found three dodgy IObit items on my PC: a folder called ASCDownloader and two rogue IObit registry entries. When did IObit dump this junk folder on to myīut its pros may soon be overtaken by its cons.
