Quarter

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CyberDefender Corporation
("CyberDefender") (OTC Bulletin Board: CYDE), a provider of award-winning PC
security, Antispyware/ Antivirus Software, PC Optimization, PC Support, and
Identity Theft Prevention solutions, which earlier this year reported a
doubling in sales in 2008, announced today that revenues through the first
half of 2009 have increased at an even higher rate as CyberDefender proceeds
with its "invest in scale" growth strategy.

CyberDefender reported that revenues in its second quarter and first half
ended June 30, 2009 each grew approximately 400% compared with the same
periods last year--from $742,862 to $3,686,644 in the comparative quarters and
from $1,217,908 to $6,878,274 in the comparative six month periods. With a
16% gain over the first quarter this year, revenues also continued their
quarter over quarter increase.

"What makes these results even more exciting," stated Gary Guseinov,
CyberDefender CEO, "is that while they developed largely as a consequence of
our increased marketing initiatives -- primarily on the Internet and on radio
-- they precede the full roll-out of our planned DRTV marketing campaigns
produced by Guthy-Renker and our planned retail distribution campaign with
over 195,000 participating U.S. and international retail outlets through our
strategic partner Allianex."

Year Over Year Cash Receipts Up 800%; New Licensees (Paying Customers) Grew
61%
CyberDefender noted that in the first six months of 2009 cash receipts from
the sales of new licenses, which become deferred income on its books over the
12 to 36 month terms of each license, increased to $11.1 million from $1.2
million in the first six months of 2008. It added that the growth in new
licensees has continued and reached 197,155 for the six months ended June 30,
2009, a 61% gain over the first six months of 2008.

Gross Profits Grew As Did Profitability of Marketing Expenditures; Net Loss
Declined From First Quarter
Gross profit in the 2009 second quarter grew significantly from $549,633 in
the same quarter last year to $2,933,320, indicating the potential for future
bottom line profitability. In line with our strategic plans, our decision to
invest significantly in marketing generated a loss from operations in the
quarter of about $3.76 million, representing an improvement from the first
quarter loss. Another indication of the initial push toward future
profitability was the decrease in the quarter of advertising expenditures as a
percentage of revenues. In the second quarter of 2009 our advertising
expenditures constituted 92% of revenues compared with 117% of revenues in the
first quarter this year.

$5.6 Million in New Growth Capital
During the first six months of 2009, as CyberDefender aggressively accelerated
customer acquisitions, it continued to seek outside financing to rapidly build
a critical mass in its customer base.

Mr. Kevin Harris, CFO of CyberDefender, commented, "I am pleased to report
that over the past six months we have successfully raised over $5.6M in growth
capital, with only a small amount representing unsecured convertible debt.
This infusion of capital helped to strengthen CyberDefender's balance sheet
with over $5.3M in current assets including $2M+ in cash. In addition, we
have reduced our overall net debt by approximately $0.7 million."

Other Developments
During the second quarter and more recently, CyberDefender made several key
announcements regarding its progress. These included:
-- Preparing for anticipated growth, CyberDefender added several highly
accomplished executives to its senior management team in marketing and
finance positions;
-- Guthy-Renker Co-CEO Bennet Van de Bunt joined the CyberDefender Board
of
Directors;
-- Partnering with industry leader InComm, CyberDefender expanded its
international retail distribution campaign to another 145,000 stores,
bringing total stores in the campaign to 185,000. Planned roll out of
"My Tech Card" prepaid cards in time for "Back to
School";

-- CyberDefender proceeded with several test TV ads ahead of expanded
national launch of its direct response TV campaign.

Outlook
"Looking ahead," Mr. Guseinov said, "we remain confident that the investment
of significant resources we are making mainly in wide reaching multichannel
marketing initiatives, will increasingly move us closer to our goal of 1
million+ paying customers. Our management is greatly strengthened and we have
developed partnerships with media, marketing and retail industry leaders. We
believe we are in the earliest stage of moving toward profitability and
further believe our focus on customer renewals and expansion of sales will
permit us to continue to deliver exciting results."
