CyberDefender AntiSpyware™ 2006 monitors computers constantly, using early defense technology. Every PC on the CyberDefender network is on the lookout for suspicious files and reports them to Threat Central™.

CyberDefender’s Threat Central ranks threats from one to ten according to its Universal Severity Scale™ 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. AntiSpyware 2006 is compatible with all other major anti-spyware products, so users can easily add another layer of spyware detection that catches spyware faster.
