Have you ever heard that sensational TV and Radio commercial touting a website named DoubleMySpeed.com and its miraculous CyberDefender products? If you have, I hope you did your homework and stayed away from it. Really, when was the last time you ever saw an “As Seen On TV” product that was of superior quality? DoubleMySpeed.com has at least 3 aliases I know of, but the parent company behind them all is CyberDefender Corp. CyberDefender is like a snake oil salesman run out of town after town who keeps coming back with a new look and name. I know them as CyberDefender, DoubleMySpeed, MyCleanPC and MaxMySpeed. I wouldn’t doubt it if they had other aliases as well. Be sure to watch the video at the end of this article to see my review. Read More Here…

Did you used to expect that by installing McAfee, Norton, Trend Micro, Webroot, Zone Alarm, Computer Associates, Kaspersky, BitDefender or even ESET, that your computer would be completely protected from viruses and spyware?

Not all malware is spyware, yet all spyware is considered malware, and viruses too for that matter. And while most of us already have virus protection, why do we need spyware protection if malware is really the grandad of it all? What is malware anyway? Malware pretty much includes the whole spectrum of spyware, trojans, rootkits, viruses and more. As for viruses, they used to be known for their destructive payload which was designed to attack data or system files. As for spyware, its most evil goal is identity theft. The motivation behind all this varied from certified cybercriminals, disgruntled employees, hackers with a flame for fame, to script kiddies just trying to see if they could do it. Putting history aside, it just got tediously technical trying to explain every species of malware, so it quickly became acceptable to call everything viruses and spyware. Spyware ended up the term for everything that wasn’t a true virus, with spyware accounting for about 97% of all infections, which is why it is a must these days to have both virus and spyware protection.
