First of its Kind Malware and ID Theft Protection Complete with
Monitoring to Protect Computer and Finances
ARLINGTON, Va.--(Business Wire)--
MyPublicInfo (www.mypublicinfo.com), a leading provider of
identity scoring and monitoring solutions for consumers, today
announced that they will combine their flagship product IdentitySweep
with Security software developer CyberDefender Corporation
(www.cyberdefender.com) (OTCBB:CYDE) free of charge for new and
existing users of MyPublicInfo's IdentitySweep beginning April 24. The
IdentitySweep service screens the Internet looking for personal and
financial information, while CyberDefender's security software
protects computer users against spyware, viruses, scams and phishing
attacks commonly used for identity theft. The combination of the two
services will give users a personal all-round security suite and
top-level protection throughout their electronic life. IdentitySweep's
Premier Plan monitors one's name, SSN, credit and debit cards,
addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses, and includes a $25,000
zero deductible Identity Theft Insurance, retails for $9.95 per month.
IdentitySweep's 360 Protection Plan retails for $19.95 per month and
offers everything in the Premier Plan in addition to instant credit
freeze, daily credit monitoring, and daily credit reports.
"This is a wonderful opportunity," says Pat Dane, Chief Revenue
Officer of MyPublicInfo. "New customers of IdentitySweep can feel more
secure knowing that CyberDefender is scouring their computer, looking
for malicious programs and files. This partnership really helps users
establish total privacy."
With this deal CyberDefender will also offer its users a complete
ID theft protection suite from MyPublicInfo. CyberDefender Corporation
anticipates this new offering will increase sales 25% from average
revenue per customer. In addition, CyberDefender anticipates adding 5K
to 10K new ID theft protection customers per month at a yearly rate of
$120.
"Combined, over a million people using the IdentitySweep and the
CyberDefender package will have total peace of mind," says Gary
Guseinov, CyberDefender's Chief Executive Officer. "CyberDefender is
already helping a great number of people. By adding IdentitySweep's
tracking program, people will feel totally secure. We are excited
because it means that we are continuing to execute our strategy of
partnering with premier companies. This should translate into more
customers, more top line and ultimately more shareholder value."
IdentitySweep is the only service that provides comprehensive,
proactive identity theft protection. It analyzes suspicious activity
found throughout newsgroups, search engines, blogs and hundreds of
thousands of chat rooms and websites to provide a 'risk score' that
indicates how much and for how long a consumer's identity has been
compromised - instantly notifying consumers before they are
victimized. This technology works much faster than credit bureau
monitoring services, which alert a consumer only after they become a
victim. It also scans the online directories that list consumer
information and removes it to prevent abuse by telemarketers and
identity thieves. CyberDefender is designed to protect users against
the threat of danger they might experience during any activity they do
on their computers. CyberDefender is constantly surveying for
suspicious behavior from potential security loopholes, spyware,
viruses, and phishing attempts. The results are then instantly
reported to CyberDefender's Early Detection Center, taking advantage
of the company's patent-pending earlyNETWORK(TM), the world's first
client-to-client distributed system for security updates. After the
analysis, a solution is assessed and broadcasted to all CyberDefender
users, which achieves significantly earlier detection and immunization
on PCs. CyberDefender works in conjunction with other security
software.
The IdentitySweep - CyberDefender product will be available April
24. To sign up or for more information, please visit
