IObit Malware Fighter 4 arrives

IObit has announced the release of IObit Malware Fighter 4, with what looks like some major improvements in protection.

A new IObit anti-malware engine and a 10x larger database aim to detect and remove even more threats.

An intelligent cache scanning mechanism has "dramatically enhanced the scan speed".

A new quarantine method offers more reliable file removal and easier restore.

The paid edition of Malware Fighter also uses the latest Bitdefender engine for more comprehensive protection.

The interface has been mildly revamped for improved ease of use, and it certainly looks good to us.

Real-time protection and the Browser Protect feature have both been "enhanced", apparently -- although IObit hasn’t spelled out the precise details -- and the package now offers full support for Windows 10. Which is fortunate.

IObit Malware Fighter 4 is available as a free and $19.95 paid package for Windows XP and later.
