I recently ran across a free security suite called CyberDefenderFree 2.0. It looked promising. When I asked in their forum if Avast and their A/V program (earlyvirus) would conflict or play well together, they did not know and suggested I check with this forum to see if anyone has had any experience using both. (I know that 2 A/V programs are usually not advised). If no one has any experience with using this program, then I might try it myself. I am an Avast user for a couple of years and believe it to be the best free A/V out there and is my preference. If both programs work well together, then this would make one hell of a security suite. So what about it fellow forum members?

Hi all :
"Cyberdefender" & "Cyberhawk" have nothing in common, as far as I can tell. For quite a period
of time, Cyberdefender was listed as a "rogue/suspect product" on antiSPYWARE Expert's Eric
Howes' site; it was "de-listed 7/8/06 with these comments "Note on CyberDefender: We originally listed CyberDefender on this page out of concerns that the vendor behind the product was the same company that previously released Spyblocs/eBlocs, an application with a bad history of aggressive, deceptive advertising and illegal force-installs. Although we found no major problems in our initial testing with CyberDefender beyond false positives that were quickly cleaned up, and while the vendor itself halted the sales of Spyblocs and vowed not to repeat the same mistakes with CyberDefender, we decided out of caution to impose a three month probation period before we would consider re-testing and, if warranted, de-listing the the product from the Rogue/Suspect list. During that three month probation period we monitored the behavior of the company. When we encountered a spurt of advertising for the product through adware, we refused to de-list the product and imposed a second three month probation period. At the end of the second three month probation period we re-tested CyberDefender, again finding no problems serious enough to justify listing the program on this page. As we have observed no advertising of the product through adware for many months, and as the program itself exhibits no problems serious enough to warrant listing on this page, we have decided to de-list CyberDefender from the Rogue/Suspect list and can no longer regard the program to be "rogue/suspect."
Note: same company as Spyblocs / eBlocs "
Since the Developers appear to have a “shady past” & “security suites” are something to be
avoided, there are “safer” alternatives to consider with good reputations .
My mistake … :-[
