CyberDefender Universal Severity Scale

Category 7-10 Very High
Category 5-7 High
Category 3-5 Moderate
Category 1-3 Low

Viruses rated by CyberDefender's Universal Severity Scale at seven to ten are considered very high risk and extremely dangerous, while viruses rated five to seven are considered highly dangerous. Typically these viruses log user activity and present a high risk of potential system damage or distribution. These types of threats are difficult to contain and often use unauthorized, invisible installation. In addition to logging keyboard activity and taking system snapshots, these high risk viruses may profile users, send confidential user data to remote servers, and have the ability to disable some anti-virus or firewall programs.

CyberDefender's automated threat protection and The Collaborative Internet Security Network™ together form a seamless adaptive network technology providing all CyberDefender users with threat definitions to protect against new attacks in less than an hour after discovery. This is estimated to be much faster, on average, than conventional anti virus software vendors.
