Alas, I searched further, and I see that even Glary Utilities ripped off PCTools.com – at least their legal notice is the same.

From now on, I’m only going to use software from companies that tell me their base of operations. And it had better be a place I can call up. Or else it had better be open source.

I’m disgusted with both Glary and Iobit. They even stooped to copying a Legal Notice. Sheesh.

I have been looking at their software, and was amazed that their “Legal notice” page was exactly the same as the one for Glary Utilities – even down to the jurisdiction being Victoria, Australia. A diff on the two policies turns out that they just copied the text wholesale and replaced the names of the companies.

Until I saw your page, I didn’t know who perpetrated the plagiarism, though I had a suspicion based on several other sources of information. Now, I see that I should be very cautious about Iobit – they’re not there to serve the community, just infect machines.
