Solved: CyberDefender
Hello,
I'm having an awful time with an antivirus program. Does anybody know anything about CyberDefender? It looks easy to use.
Thank you.

Hi CyberDefender used to be just a Spyware program.
It will be some time before it finds it's way into the top 10 recommended Anti-virus programs.
There are better programs available.
What Anti-virus are you now using?
Check.

CyberDefender
Hello,
Well, so far I have tried AVG (free) which kept crashing my computer, then tried Avast Antivirus, Clam Win which downloaded a blue screen of death and had to do a system recovery(actually everything totally froze white screen with a big warning). Next I tried Bit Defender which crashed my computer constantly especially during updating, also Cyber Defender which said I had several viruses and a Trojan but couldn't do anything about it unless I purchased it. I did like the style of Cyber Defender and ease of use but it was a free download so I decided to uninstall it other than purchasing it until I knew if it would crash my computer. Right now I have PC Tools Antivirus which is ok but am questioning how good it is. After scanning 100,000 files it found nothing. Now I wonder which is right, PC Tools or Cyber Defender. I also have the paid AVG but am willing to lose on because it is just to complicated for me with the settings. There is no help only a computer with FAQ.
After uninstalling them all I did do a search to make sure that all files were deleted with each. Thank you for your response.
