Microsoft to Redesign Start Menu for Windows 10 – IObit is Ready for Project Neon

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- IObit Software today announced plans to maintain compatibility with the new Windows 10 Project Neon. Microsoft is working on the Windows 10 UI refresh, named Project Neon, which focuses on redesigning the user interface including the Start Menu for Windows 10.

According to the screenshots of the concept design shared on Twitter by Tom Hounsel, one can see the apparent changes to current Microsoft 10 Start Menu.

Unlike the overall design of the present Windows 10 which is flat and squared, the new design is comparable to the earlier designs for Windows Vista and Windows 7. The animations improve the smooth and rapid transition between processes and the new blurred transparency effects for the Live Tiles add a fantastic aesthetic to the previous version. From the designs mockups, there's a new icon in the Start menu for Snapchat that some suggest that might be a placeholder. These amazing concept ideas raise a high expectation on the upcoming Neon UI for the Start Menu among Windows 10 users.

"After consideration of consumer feedback on the classic Start Menu, Microsoft finally added the Start menu to Windows 10 in the early updates and Project Neon will definitely give it a big boost. We look forward to the update in the near future," said Bing Wang, Product Director at IObit. "However, third-party programs like IObit Start Menu 8 could be still popular due to more custom based services. IObit's focus is to provide good services to meet our user's needs and will continue our effort to improve Start Menu 8 as new changes are made to the operating systems."

About Start Menu 8:
Start Menu 8 is a customized desktop utility for Windows users, specifically designed to bring back the familiar Classic Start Menu to Windows 8/8.1 & Windows 10. It offers a convenient and simple solution to switch freely between the latest Window 10 start menu and Windows Classic Start Menu as well as providing multiple start menus for Windows 7/Vista/XP. With the improved searching engine, you can quickly and easily access your apps and files from the Start Menu. Start Menu 8 allows more customization with just a few clicks, which provides the options to skip Modern UI & Welcome on Windows 8.1 and customize your taskbar any way you like on Windows 10.

Statement from IObit: IObit to Take a Stand Against Vicious Competition

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- IObit, the developer and publisher of Advanced SystemCare, recently found that Malwarebytes flagged Advanced SystemCare 10 as PUP/PUA and removed it without warning, resulting in hundreds of complaints from the users. So far, Malwarebytes has not provided any clear official criteria or any communication channels. It has negatively affected the users' and IObit's legitimate rights. Today, IObit released a statement that IObit will spare no effort to protect the company and its users' rights.

About PUP/PUA, according to Wikipedia, "A potentially unwanted program (PUP) or potentially unwanted application (PUA) is software that user may perceive as unwanted...." Many anti-virus software have their own criteria, but still follow users' command when taking action. But Malwarebytes does not follow this path.

In this case, many users who have both Advanced SystemCare and Malwarebytes are quite confused that they've listed Advanced SystemCare files as excluded files when Malwarebytes reported at the first time; but next time, Malwarebytes may pick up some other Advanced SystemCare files to report again. That complicated operation makes users who trust Advanced SystemCare unable to use it any more.

When the false positives were released 12 days prior, IObit had initially contacted Malwarebytes to inquire about the details, but have not been taken seriously up to the release day of this statement.

IObit immediately initiated a comprehensive self-inspection of their programs to eliminate any potential issues which may cause the false positives.

According to the news website The Windows Club, IObit is not the only victim. It's acceptable for security tools to protect users' system at their request and service users based on reasonable rules. This is a less aggressive measure for other software and can create a clear understanding for users.

"First, we would like to apologize to our users for the unnecessary frustration due to these circumstances," said Bing Wang, Product Director at IObit. "This example of vicious competition goes against IObit's ultimate mission; to offer the best service for our customers. We hope to resolve this issue through communicative channels but may resort to the law to support our company. We appreciate the support our users have given IObit and Advanced SystemCare during this time."

About Advanced SystemCare:

Advanced SystemCare is a safe and reliable system utility that helps users troubleshoot problems that slow down PCs. It is a one-click PC cleaner and registry cleaner utility for Windows PC. Over 250 million users choose to trust Advanced SystemCare and use the program to clean up junk files, sweep private information, and accelerate internet speed to enjoy a faster & cleaner PC.
