CyberDefender Universal Severity Scale

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

Viruses rated by CyberDefender's Universal Severity Scale at five to seven are considered High risk and very dangerous. Typically these viruses log user activity and present a high risk of damage or distribution. These types of threats are difficult to contain and remove. They often use unauthorized, invisible installation, and in addition to logging keyboard activity and taking system snapshots, these High risk viruses may profile users and send confidential user data to remote servers.

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 more than 10 times faster, on average, than conventional anti virus software vendors.
