We recommend you start with the free trial to see if you have an issue before buying CyberDefender.

CyberDefender's tagline is the "Internet's First Line of Defense," and it performs true to this claim. CyberDefender stands out among other internet security products with their patent-pending earlyNetwork. Cyber Defender calls this feature "the first-ever Collaborative Internet Security Network, distributing information securely and exponentially to clients using a high-speed client-to-client network." In layman's terms this basically means, CyberDefender uses a peer-to-peer community to detect and protect you against security threats. In dealing with any type of attachment or security threat, faster protection provides CyberDefender with a huge advantage over its competitors.

Combining the earlyNETWORK and free trial offer with first-rate family protection from Viruses, Spyware, Malware, and Phishing attacks, CyberDefender met and exceeded our expectations in each of our categories of superior online protection.

Ease of Use:

Most people want antivirus software they can install and forget. When downloaded with the default setting, CyberDefender scanned boot-up files, recently accessed files, packed files and incoming and outgoing emails.

Updates:

The problem posed with infrequent updates is that emergent computer viruses can spread quickly, often without any publicity until after the damage is done. CyberDefender's Early Detection Center utilizes a community of thousands of other CyberDefender users to detect a new virus the moment it hits one of the computers in the network. Once the virus is identified, CyberDefenders network immediately updates all the other computers in the network giving CyberDefender the fastest updates that we have seen. Because of this, their software is continually up to date.

Features:

While other programs may offer more bells and whistles, CyberDefender keeps things simple without sacrificing protection. When it comes to internet protection, most people just want to know that the program they are using works. All the extra features can be confusing to average user and sometimes even the seasoned expert.

CyberDefender offers a comprehensive internet security solution based around earlyNetwork as well as earlyVIRUS, a comprehensive anti-virus software detection and eradication tool. The earlySPY solution provides the latest threats as they become available to the network and develops the proper defense. Another feature they call earlySPAM protects your e-mail inbox. earlySCAM is an anti-phishing technology that analyzes every website you visit to protect you from fake scam sites.

Effectiveness:

CyberDefender provides all of the protection that you would expect from a program that costs twice as much. USA Today said that "CyberDefender is fierce," while other organizations favorably raking CyberDefender highly include CNet, eWeek, ComputerWorld and Tucows.

Ease of Installation:

The download and installation of CyberDefender Early Detection Center is quick and easy, generally taking less than 3 minutes before it performing scans. The quick scans will generally take about one minute with in-depth scans lasting about 7 minutes. Users should be able to perform other tasks and online activity while the scans are running without noticeable slowdowns.
