Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 85 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Some customers have found certain products, like Driver Update and Advanced SystemCare, to be effective and useful for maintaining their systems, with some even using them for many years. They appreciate the convenience and the range of tools offered, noting that these applications can help with system issues and provide good service. However, many users express significant dissatisfaction with the company's practices, particularly the aggressive promotion of additional software through pop-up ads that are difficult to close and often appear even after purchasing products. There are also concerns about unwanted programs being bundled with downloads, issues with subscription management, and instances where software caused system instability or damage, leading some to uninstall all products and advise others to avoid them.

My Reason for IOBIT Updater

Responsiveness! There are all sorts of updaters out there but this one works well. There is the new Winget command that does upgrade things automatically but if you have a subscription such as EASEUS uses, it uploads the latest software, uninstalls the version resident on the computer, deletes your serial key and you are really messed up. This is safe in my opinion

“Intrusive pop‑ups even after purchasing the PRO version“Intrusive pop‑ups even after purchasing the PRO version

*"I purchased Advanced SystemCare and several other IObit programs, yet I keep receiving intrusive pop‑up ads promoting more products. These pop‑ups interrupt my work repeatedly, and they cannot be closed with a normal ‘X’ button. Instead, I’m forced to click on a silly phrase like ‘I want to miss this great opportunity’ just to dismiss the message.

This is extremely annoying and unprofessional, especially for paying customers. I expected an ad‑free experience after purchasing the software."*

Hi,

We sincerely apologize for the annoying pop-up ads that have disrupted your experience with our software.

Could you help clarify what type the pop-up is? A prompt to unlock Pro features, a software update notification, or other types?

It would be extremely helpful if you could provide a screenshot of the pop-up as well. This will allow our team to pinpoint the root cause faster and deliver a targeted fix.

Please contact us via support@iobit.com or from the Feedback entrance on the program, or submit an online request.

Thanks for your kind understanding and look forward to hearing from you.

Website completely to be distrusted

Last year, the amount was debited twice. This year, the amount was debited again without receiving an activation code.Even in the event of a complaint, they do everything they can to avoid refunding.

Updating email address

I needed to update all my IOBit products with my new email address which did not appear to be possible online. An email to IOBit support resolved the problem and all my products were updated by the support technician.

Experienced iObit user (+/- 10 years)

I've been using iObit products for a few years now and although they are a bit too pushy with their products, they have offered good service.

Read well what you download, uncheck boxes when necessary and cancel automatic renewals manually.

Other than that iObit has served me well for over 10 years.

I've been an iObit Advanced System Care, Uninstaller, Software updater and Driver Booster user for many years, but I always make sure I check the boxes and uninstall anything I don't want.

I have used the pro version for over 10 years, it’s quick, convenient and easy with a wealth of tools. Yes, the free version promotes purchasing their other products independently (included with the pro version).
Updating drivers, cleaning your system, deleting programs, improving and managing startup, updating programs, drivers and boosting ram and cpu usage. The malware fighter is not bad with bitdefender integration , I supplement with SuperAntiSpyware.

The popup ads are annoying, but just click and they close. I find it’s a good value for a one stop fix for many situations.

It didn't do what I hoped it would do when it came to duplicate files. I asked for a refund, which they promptly did. I also bot the uninstaller and after they returned my money, I uninstalled it, but the program still advertises to me with popups. It didn't completely leave my computer. I think they think they are funny. I will never buy anything from this group again.

They just keep taking money

I used their product many years ago (10 or more), it was okay but not great I have found better. But they are impossible to get out of your bank accounts and Paypal. They just keep deducting money and I don't seem to be able to stop them through Paypal's automated systems.
My advice is do not go near them in the first place.

I appreciate the concerns that many have had accessing support for this software as I have in the past as well. Plus many times I have had issues with the software itself. However, as a long term user (since 2012) I find that the software has year-over-year become better and better. I recently upgraded again for 3 years and found it easy to do so with tech support (not using any of the many vendors they have).

Enough!!!

In 2022, their Smart Defrag product damaged one of my hard drives while it was running. They didn't care. They told me it wasn't their fault. In 2023, Malware Fighter damaged my installed software. In 2024, they extended my subscription, but charged me 20 euros more. In 2025, I bought one-year licenses in the summer, and now when I entered them, it shows that they cut 140 days from the total purchased. That was the last time I made the mistake of buying anything from them. Given how unreliable and uncaring they have been, I'd rather get their products for free from other websites!

I have become forgetful in my later years, and over the pasr two minths managed to place multiple orders for the same package of software. It took IOBIT only one day to get the refunds in place. Wonderful service! Thank you.

Frustrating as I like their software and have always renewed manually in the past for the best deals. If you accidentally forget to cancel the auto renewal it says you should get a 7-day warning that it is about to renew. I got mine this morning with a warning that there was 0 days to auto renewal which I picked up within minutes and I was charged whilst waiting for the access key to get to the website to stop it. Thanks for making my day today stressful, I'm hoping the refund request goes smoothly, I'll update here if it doesn't.
