Company Founded

Expert software marketer, Gary Guseinov, chief executive officer, and Igor Barash, chief information officer, co-founded the company known today as CyberDefender Corporation in 2003. In early 2005, the team acquired its own proprietary broad spectrum computer threat management technology.

Early CyberDefender Success

While designed as an end-to-end technology for all types of threats, CyberDefender (then known as Cyber-Defender) was focused on infectious attacks, or viruses. It became a popular free antivirus Internet download, building a large network of users.

CyberDefenderFREE 2.0 Launched

CyberDefender launched its revolutionary free security monitoring system and Internet security software suite in November 2006. This revolutionary, patented early-detection technology defends against emerging spyware, adware, spam and other virus attacks before they damage computer systems and prevents online identity theft.
