Why are we advertising other antivirus programs on here ???
If you have a question about their AV why not ask them on their website ???

I’m pretty sure it’s a rogue. The site is blocked by my HOSTS file, and I remember seeing it on a YouTube video by someone infecting themselves with the Vundo trojan. It installed itself after they were infected.

Not quite a rouge, imo, but I guess that depends on your definition. It does not install without your permission that I have ever seen or heard, but definitely questionable program efficiency, and a long standing bad reputation for their business practices. I have a friend with a total brick of a PC after being on the phone with these “experts”.

Long story short, stay far away from Cyber Defender

Hi anjandavid,

You might want to have your friend read the below links :

And good luck to them when they try to uninstall it!

If worse comes to worse, they may have to restore back to a point before it was installed.
