After tryng sum other free anti-virus programs, which all seem to slow my system very down, a friend of mine tol me about Cyberdefender. I got the free versun first, which like some other programs is a little confusing about what is free on it and what it does. I tried it, and I liked 1) Speed – it was really fast, 2) clear User Interface and 3) that it deals with viruses, trojans and spyware – all in one program 4) comes with 24/7 computer help and 5) they are a public company – so they need to be a legit company to be traded on the NASDAQ . I didn’t like that the free versun 1) only scanned removed trojuns and spywear, but you had to buy upgrade to remoov viruses (the free versun only scans for viruses -hey they got to make money, right?), 2) had some pop ups reminding you to buy the upgrade.

So, this my experience with Cyberdefender, and I find there offer of 24/7 computer help something thats uneek, not so much for me but for my son who can get computer help if I am away on a business trip.

Does anyone know of other anti-virus software that also cum with 24/7 computer help (some offer 24/7 technical support – but Cyberdefender is offering Computer Help for any kind of computer problem)?

After doing further research, I have round that none others give 24 hour support as far as I can tell they don't .

I have battled several viruses this year and used a few free anti-virus, trojan and spyware programs. Kinda got tired of it all. I talked to my friend who work with computers all the time about it, and he said he would do a test.

So he got several free anti-virus programs and installed them one at a time on a fresh system and infected them, then he recorded how many and which ones the anti-virus program recorded after a scan.

He told me that he had to wipe the systems and clone the drive from a clean one for each test, and that in the end most of them found a lot of the same spyware, viruses and trojans.

He said that the differences between the anti-virus programs were that outside of the common stuff they all found, each program had some viruses they didn’t find, and other found those but not other ones. He made a graph, but I don’t have a scanner so I can’t put it up here.

We looked at all the test and he felt that Cyberdefender was the best of the bunch because it found all the common viruses, and the largest number of non-common viruses.

Now, most of the free anti-virus programs he tried he said were either just scanners that would only remove the problems after you buy, or were 30 day or other limited version, but they all gave a good indication how the paid versions would work.

I bought and installed Cyberdefender for my computer (he got it for his companies systems also) since it seems to offer the best protection, for the best price with features others didn’t offer as part of the package.

I found this youtube video on how Cyberdefender virus removal is activated:

My friend also told me that one of the things that he like about Cyberdefender is that it runs fast and that for a home user, the 24/7 computer help service could be very helpful.

Hope this review is helpful. Look forward to any comments.
