Blackrome03 45 Report post Posted January 8, 2020 Hello All I'm having trouble getting the pro version of IObit Malware Fighter Pro 7.5 I followed the instructions from earlier versions and everything went to task. What I did: Uninstall and deleted the folder, re-installed "Malware.Fighter.7.5.0" didn't launch or run (it open automatically) Open task manager by pressing CTRL + Shift + Esc and end all IObit\Malware Fighter process, one by one. Copy the "Patch-IObit.Malware.Fighter.Pro.6.x-Astron.exe" file from the Patch-Astron folder and paste into the "IObit Malware Fighter" folder. Look in C:\Program Files” or “C:\Program Files (x86)” Right click the mouse button on "Patch-IObit.Malware.Fighter.Pro.6.x-Astron.exe" file and choose "Run as administrator" and click the mouse button, this will run the program and patch the "Malware Fighter.exe" file. Ran the application from the shortcut on the desktop, this has new been patch. **Keep in mind I first updated it from the 7.4 version first and it didn't work** The following below is what I did and what followed as a result. I activated/install the Anti-ransomware Engine Then IObit Malware Fighter 7.5 Pro closes and this pops up. Then IObit Malware Fighter 7.5 Pro relaunches but as free version again. I follow these steps again. Open task manager by pressing CTRL + Shift + Esc and end all IObit\Malware Fighter process, one by one. Copy the "Patch-IObit.Malware.Fighter.Pro.6.x-Astron.exe" file from the Patch-Astron folder and paste into the "IObit Malware Fighter" folder. Look in C:\Program Files” or “C:\Program Files (x86)” Right click the mouse button on "Patch-IObit.Malware.Fighter.Pro.6.x-Astron.exe" file and choose "Run as administrator" and click the mouse button, this will run the program and patch the "Malware Fighter.exe" file. Then I'm back to Pro and I activate Anti-ransomware Engine it doesn't close. Then when I activate Bitdefender Engine this pops up and when it does if I restart or shut down I'm back to free version again. Lastly, from previous version 7.3, 7.2 I had no issues updating from either updating from the old version or just uninstalling and doing it that way. I'm unsure what I did wrong and I haven't tried in safe mood but I'm not sure if that will make a difference. Since 7.4 I just been keeping my computer on and if I need to shutdown and restart I will just follow these steps yet again to save face. Open task manager by pressing CTRL + Shift + Esc and end all IObit\Malware Fighter process, one by one. Copy the "Patch-IObit.Malware.Fighter.Pro.6.x-Astron.exe" file from the Patch-Astron folder and paste into the "IObit Malware Fighter" folder. Look in C:\Program Files” or “C:\Program Files (x86)” Right click the mouse button on "Patch-IObit.Malware.Fighter.Pro.6.x-Astron.exe" file and choose "Run as administrator" and click the mouse button, this will run the program and patch the "Malware Fighter.exe" file. If there are any other work arounds to solving this issue please feel free Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackrome03 45 Report post Posted January 26, 2020 Hey Uk666 I did the same post when the steps from version 7.3 to 7.4 didn't allow 7.4 to run smoothly so when version 7.5 came out I figure it would just correct any issues I had with 7.4, but didn't so I made sure this current post was more descriptive and clear on everything I did. Is there any reason when an earlier version of anti-virus software crack would work then a few versions later not work at all? Thanks for the all the links to other virual software, but I'm already invested with IObit I have the Advanced System Care 13.2 Pro, Smart Defrag 6.4.5 Pro, Boost Driver 7.2 Pro, Malware Fighter 7.5 Pro (as long as I don't restart or shutdown) , Uninstaller 9.2 Pro and Software Updater 2. I will assume adding a different brand of anti-malware wouldn't mesh well and could cause others software to malfunction. Would doing it in safe mode make any difference? That's the only thing I haven't tired. Thanks for replying uk666 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeophobiA 1,503 Report post Posted January 26, 2020 G'day Blackrome, Although I used Iobit suite almost religously in the past, in the last few years I've migrated back to linux so had left this open for someone still using windows and experience with Iobit to advise or help you. In saying that, the patch, which it sounds like you are using correctly, is released by what group.?. Maybe Iobit has added a call home protocol to the registration services and you may need to add a block into your hosts file. In the meantime I'll look amongst the release groups for any other equivilent patches or work around.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeophobiA 1,503 Report post Posted January 26, 2020 Ok, with a little poke around I found IObit Driver Booster Pro 7.2.0.598 with Patch was released 6 days ago, I haven't yet come across any other iobit software but this release, which I will post in the next few days, has an activator and a loader you run the app from so I would assume other new Iobit software will reuire similar. Still looking though... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackrome03 45 Report post Posted January 27, 2020 Hello NeophobiA I'm not sure what you mean by "released by what group" and I think from 7.4 onward IObit definitely made some changes. I would appreciate any patches/work arounds that can be created for full access. Thanks again in advance for your time and efforts greatly appreciated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk666 5,298 Report post Posted January 27, 2020 In my opinion: Advanced System Care – not needed. Use the Disk cleanup in Windows.

But my IoBit Advanced System Care just went PRO. I don’t know if it had to do with my registry editing or the host blocking or what. But something happened between cracking this and Smart Defrag that also cracked Advanced System Care. I was just about to move onto that one too! Strange… But cool! I would guesstimate it has something to do with blocking in the host file to stop it calling home and resetting back to trial. When I asked about the release group, on most cracks, keygens, patches, etc, the people who release them usually put in an about button or an NFO file that tells you who made it, groups like FFF, CORE, MYTH, ALTOR, DS, etc, these guys are the Magicians that reverse engineer the programs to make them free for Us... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because for the longest time I kept hearing Malwarebytes was the best thing running then I got turned on to IObit. I'm not a tech or software expert or anything so your thoughts, opinions and suggestions are welcome.

Blackrome03 45 Report post Posted February 15, 2020 UPDATE So now I can't use the patch tool "Patch-IObit.Malware.Fighter.Pro.6.x-Astron.exe" anymore to use the pro version of Malware Fighter 7.5 I just get a pop up error message saying the request cannot work which is annoying and sad at this point. The same thing with Uninstaller 9.3 Pro not only doesn't the patch work, but before I try add patch to the file folder the zipped file gets deleted and it renders the patch useless no pop up message. Even Drive Booster was giving a bit of trouble but for now seems to be working correctly. It seems that IObit software are actively making patches and/or work around more difficult which doesn't serve me any good. With that said I'm considering getting off the IObit train for something more stable yet secure so any suggestions are welcome. Lastly, I downloaded CCleaner Professional but haven't installed it yet I'm not sure if there will be any of the IObit files that would cause conflict with having it run smoothly... still waiting for confirmation.
