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™ 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.
