IObit's products are almost always steeply discounted, but at first glance, the list price of this mini-suite and of the standalone tune-up tool appear the same-$49.99 for use on three PCs. The current version 11 adds ransomware protection, among other enhancements, but testing revealed a big hole in protection against ransomware, and the product failed some of our hands-on tests. The company's main focus is tuning performance, with antivirus capabilities added only in the top-of-the-line IObit Advanced SystemCare Ultimate. With IOBit, things are the other way around. When antivirus utilities expand into full-scale security suites, we're accustomed to seeing them add performance tune-up tools, perhaps to offset any perceived slowdown caused by security functions.
