The Furniture Room

As a constant user of the World Wide Web, exposes me and my trusty computer to a whole range of Malware. Let’s just say Malware is some program that is past to my computer from a website that I have visited. My realization that I might have a Malware problem has happened as I was doing research and looking at what is on the World Wide Web for my work.

I have tried several anti-virus programs (not gonna name names right now) and some have worked to a point. Being free, they have their limits, and overtime I end up with some bug it can’t handle. So, I decided recently to look at getting a Malware suite that protected against all types of bad programs, not just viruses. I heard an ad on the radio for Cyberdefender, and I thought that is exactly what I was looking for; a cyber defense against Malware.

I did some more research and found these two papers about their technology:

http://www.cyberdefender.com/pdf/CyberDefender-CyberHunter.pdf

I read through these papers, and came away very impressed because Cyberdefender has some very interesting and powerful technology behind it, and a growing user base in the millions.

Basically with Cyberdefender, you get 3 components:

1. Cyberdefender program on you computer, and with it you can scan your computer and clean off and protect against the most common and active Malware programs

2. Early Detection Network (EDN) is the Peer2Peer network that consists of all of Cyberdefender’s customers and their central network. When you computer gets a new type of Malware, then it passes on the signature to all the computers in the network, and they are now able to stop and prevent the Malware from infecting any of the computers on the network. Of course, Cyberdefender will then be able to clean this new Malware off your computer. The second part of the EDN, is that they have a spider that goes out looking for websites, and if it find that they host Malware, then they send back the info to Cyberdefender HQ, who then verify and send out the update to the EDN.

3. 24/7 Computer Help is Cyberdefender’s secret weapon. For your yearly subscription to Cyberdefender, you get access to the 24/7 help line. This is a live call center in the USA, set-up to help Cyberdefender users with any kind of computer problem, not just Malware issues

These 3 components make Cyberdefender a very strong Anti-Malware package that is aimed at the casual and non-technical computer users of Desktops and Laptops.

Cyberdefender also have some other things going for it:

1. They are a Public Traded company on the NASDAQ, which means they have accountability to their shareholders and the public. Many ‘anti-virus’ companies are 3 friends working out of their home. Cyberdefender has the strength support its programs and business model.
