Is iobituninstaller.cn legit or a scam?
Phishing site impersonating IObit Uninstaller software; flagged by antivirus engines as phishing with no legitimate business contact details.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The page mimics IObit's real uninstaller product with Chinese-language marketing copy, download buttons, and feature descriptions. However, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker and SOCRadar both classify it as phishing, and Gridinsoft marks it suspicious. The domain iobituninstaller.cn is registered on a Chinese IP (203.196.8.151) with zero abuse history but also zero legitimate business signals—no contact email, phone, address, or social links anywhere on the page. The SSL certificate is valid but only 66 days old, and the domain itself has no WHOIS data available, which is unusual for a legitimate software distributor. The page loads content from i-cdn.softscdn.com, an external CDN, but this does not establish legitimacy. Real IObit products are distributed through iobit.com and official channels, not through .cn domains with phishing flags.
