for free from giveawayoftheday dot com in March 2020. It was a year license.

I think giveawayoftheday used to be great a couple of years ago, when they had some excellent users posting reviews and were less sucking up to the software providers.

Anyway, there was an update somewhere along the line, where Loaris went bad or rogue or whatever. And they started posting false positives all over. Like flagging my host file for malware because I had an entry in it to prevent linking to a malware site.

Oh, and suddenly after months it decided it didn't like Nirsoft tools and others.

So, yeah, I hear you, Ronny.

Needless to say, I uninstalled Loaris and I'm sticking with Malwarebytes.
