CyberDefender issues its CyberDefender Spyware Alert regularly. This spyware detection report highlights the most recent spyware plaguing Internet users and exposing them to Internet identity theft.

CyberDefenderFREE(tm) 2.0 monitors computers constantly, using early defense technology. Every PC on the CyberDefender network is on the lookout for suspicious files and reports them to the Early Alert Center™.

Users can protect their computers from these attacks by downloading a complimentary copy of CyberDefender FREE, the best Internet security software here: http://www.cyberdefender.com/products.html

CyberDefender's Early Alert Center ranks threats from one to ten according to its Universal Severity Scale(tm) Threats rated above five are considered viruses while threats ranked below five are considered spyware or adware. Lightning-quick updating ensures users protection from new cyber-attacks faster than any other spyware removal tool. CyberDefenderFREE is compatible with all other major anti-spyware products, so users can easily add another layer of spyware detection that catches spyware faster.

CyberDefender Universal Severity Scale

Category 7-10 Very High
Category 5-7 High
Category 3-5 Moderate
Category 1-3 Low

Spyware rated by CyberDefender's Universal Severity Scale from three to five, are moderately dangerous. Typically these types of threats log user keyboard activity and take system snapshots. They may profile users and send confidential user data back to a remote server, and are nearly impossible to remove manually.

CyberDefender's automated threat protection and The Collaborative Internet Security Network(tm) together form a seamless adaptive network technology providing all CyberDefender users with threat definitions to protect against new attacks in less than an hour after discovery. This is estimated to be much faster, on average, than conventional anti spyware software vendors.

About Spyware Attacks
Webopedia defines spy ware as "Any software that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes." (full definition at http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/s/spyware.html)

About CyberDefender Early Alert Centerl
The CyberDefender Early Alert Center(tm) and CyberDefender's Collaborative Internet Security Network together form a seamless adaptive network technology providing all CyberDefender users with free Internet security tools.

Because of this, the CyberDefender Early Alert Center antivirus and security alerts are dynamic; adjusting in real-time as each threat evolves, providing users with the most updated and accurate virus protection available. This threat assessment process is significantly faster than traditional methods.
