False Positive Report I sent a false positive report via SAS recently but as Ive heard nothing probably just too impatient I thought Id follow it up here. All of my executables created with AutoIT report as Trojan Agent/Gen-TempZ with SAS and MBAM yet several other programs dont detect a problem. Can you please test and advise?

Give a good reason why cracks and keygens should not be detected as a risk? If it's unpaid for then it is stealing, period, and I'm glad some vendors are bold enough to include them in their detections. Also your signature is spam... EDIT by enoskype:Link is de-linked in above post. (It was an ordinary link, not a signature.) P.S. I know the owners of SAS. They might reply to you but they won't remove them. They don't like anyone stealing their software so why should they support any stolen program... Last edited by evilfantasy : 07-28-2009 at 08:39 PM.

IOBit Steals Malwarebytes’ Intellectual Property

Malwarebytes has recently uncovered evidence that a company called IOBit based in China is stealing and incorporating our proprietary database and intellectual property into their software. We know this will sound hard to believe, because it was hard for us to believe at first too. But after an indepth investigation, we became convinced it was true. Here is how we know.

We came across a post on the IOBit forums (cached version since they deleted the thread - well, now the cached version got deleted as well. Glad I still have a screenshot, see below) that showed IOBit Security 360 flagging a specific key generator for our Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware software using the exact naming scheme we use to flag such keygens: Don’t.Steal.Our.Software.A.



Dont.Steal.Our.Software.A, File, G:\Nothing Much\Anti-Spyware\Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware v1.39\Key_Generator.exe, 9-30501

Why would IOBit detect a keygen for our software and refer to it using our database name? We quickly became suspicious. Either the forum post was fraudulent or IOBit was stealing our database.

So we dug further. We accumulated more similar evidence for other detections, and we soon became convinced that this was not a mistake, it was not a coincidence, it was not an isolated event, and it persisted presently in their current database. They are using both our database and our database format exactly.

The final confirmation of IOBit’s theft occurred when we added fake definitions to our database for a fake rogue application we called Rogue.AVCleanSweepPro. This “malware” does not actually exist: we made it up. We even manufactured fake files to match the fake definitions. Within two weeks IOBit was detecting these fake files under almost exactly these fake names.

We can’t publicly show all the evidence we found, because it is still our intellectual property: proprietary information about our database internals. But we don’t want you to have to take our word for it either, so we found a way to show you an example illustrating an indisputable pattern of theft.

Consider the file, dummy.exe. It is a harmless dummy executable that runs, displays a “Hello World” message box, and exits. You can see from third-party scans on VirusTotal, that no other security vendor flags this executable as malicious or even suspicious.

We created this dummy executable, then manipulated it slightly so that it matches one of the signatures in our database. We emphasize that it is still not malicious! — the signature is perfectly benign, when not in the context of actual malware, as you can see from the VirusTotal results.

We scanned the file with our own Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware software and indeed it was flagged as “Don’t.Steal.Our.Software.A”. We scanned it with IOBit using their current build and database version and it was flagged as the same “Don’t.Steal.Our.Software.A”. We have included log file file and a screenshot of the detection. You can verify by yourself using the dummy executable and their most recent database.

We have attached two other such dummy executables to this post, so you can see for yourself. One of them, “rogue.exe”, matches our fake Rogue.AVCleanSweepPro (screenshot) definition, the other “fake.exe”, matches our Adware.NaviPromo definition (screenshot). VirusTotal results for “fake.exe” and “rogue.exe” so you can see they are benign. You can see a screenshot of our detections here.


During the course of our investigation, we uncovered additional evidence that IOBit may have stolen the proprietary databases of other security vendors as well. We are in the process of contacting these vendors.

Malwarebytes intends to pursue legal action against IOBit. We demand IOBit immediately remove all traces of Malwarebytes’ proprietary research and database from their software. We also demand IOBit be delisted from Download.com due to Terms of Service violations. This is criminal: it is theft, it is fraud, and we will not stand for it.

What can you do to help? If you feel the same way we do about this theft, we encourage you to send an email to hosting services such as Download.com and Majorgeeks.com requesting that all IOBit software be removed.
