I've deleted ASC Pro before using ASC's uninstaller. It takes out everything leaving nothing behind. Never a problem there. I'm running the Pro version again when it was a give away with a lifetime license.

I use ASC Pro, Malware Fighter and Smart Defrag and have never had the problems you folks are describing.  I don't doubt you but it does seem somewhat strange that it isn't happening to all users of the software.  This seems to be the basic problem when it comes to discussing computer problems, why do only some folks have them and others using the same software don't. 

It would seem that some things is life are destined to remain a mystery.   

Can't agree more philly.

No,it didn't;it's a misconduct perpetrated by a company which has been flagged by Malwarebytes as bully to consumers. Just searched "updatepackasc.exe",it got all over the places,included Japanese users.  

Base on this article: http://thewebatom.net/blog/iobit-is-a-sucky-company/ ,I wouldn't trust it no matter how many users claimed they are using fine. Well,that's your luck,maybe next time. 

For those need help to remove the darn pop-up,here is the tutorial:

I apologize Gaspershooters, I didn't mean or want to diminish that fact you and others are having a problem, just stating that others are not and that it was pretty much how computer problems goes, no rhyme or reason.  I'm not all that sure though that luck is involved.   

I never got that pop up but...from what I've read in several links using Google the updatepackasc.exe although listed as harmless is being labeled a PUP.

Edit: There's also a mention that back in 2009 IObit was accused of plagiarizing certain files native to mbam. Only what I read.

Fifth comment down.

For the record, I have several IOBIT programs installed, and the file ( updatepackasc.exe ) is not on my computer. I did a thorough search.

So either the file only comes with the free versions, or it is placed there by some kind of malware, but not by IOBIT. 

My brother had some malware in his Google directory, but it wasn't google that put it there. Just saying.

Found it on mine. C:/Users/appdata/roaming/temp

Ross, C:/Users/appdata/roaming/temp doesn't even exist on my rig.

You can stick with your records than persistently assured/affirmed that wasn't come from IOBIT whatsoever. 

Philly0381,don't be. An opinion is just an opinion. I am not have hard-feeling or going to report/complain to whom. 

Interesting. Updatepackasc.exe did not come back after I deleted it. Could be it was placed there by malware and not by IObit. I use their free versions.
