Publisher's description of Cyberhawk 1.2.0.39
From PC Tools:What do you need when your traditional antivirus protection misses a virus, worm or spyware? You need Cyberhawk to keep you infection-free. Cyberhawk uses behavioral analysis to detect malicious activity. Cyberhawk's ActiveDefense technology intelligently analyzes the behavior of processes & programs on a system and immediately halts any malicious action. It recognizes threats immediately & accurately, and shuts them down so they can't harm your system or compromise your privacy. Even the threats your traditional, signature-based antivirus & anti-spyware can't catch. Cyberhawk is completely effective out of the box. No difficult configuration, setup or maintenance is ever required.
Version 1.2.0.39 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
Editor's review of Cyberhawk 1.2.0.39
4.0 stars
- "A different kind of hawk"
From the get-go, this virus protection program impresses, but some functions are available only to registered users.
Cyberhawk opens with an orientation to educate users on virus behavior and program functionality. This software operates differently than traditional antivirus programs. Rather than downloading virus signatures to identify threats, it uses a combination of factors to gauge whether a virus is attacking your PC. The demo program operates as the pro version for 15 days before shedding functions to operate as the free version. This means one of the prime functions--malware quarantine and removal--disappears after the trial.
During an attack, this application quickly informs the user and requests permission to proceed. Curious Cyberhawk Pro users can instruct the software to display more information about the threat. Creating custom rules requires merely following a simple wizard. Unfortunately, that's another feature available only to Pro users.
Scans are easily scheduled. Novice-friendly in its default state, Cyberhawk's novel approach promises to improve early threat detection, but you won't know how well it works until you need it.

Version: Cyberhawk 1.2.0.39
Pros: does exactly what it says. fills a whole between your firewall and spyware programs.. gives you great alerts on whats running. using that along with zonealarm antivir and spyprotector which cnet doesnt offer yet doesnt leave much room for intrusion.
Cons: none.

"Its good, but has a few problems"
Pros: This is a decent, solid program. It has no major flaws, but it didn't knock my socks off. There may be similar programs that work better, have more features, or are easier to use.
Cons: It crashes SVChost - a major part of XP. An error message appears, which you can't get rid of (on shutdown), and makes the pc shutdown slow

Version: Cyberhawk 1.2.0.39
"Good program... it blocked the bufferzone proof of concept."
Pros: The fact that it blocks malware. Simple as that. Bufferzone has a little proof of concept program that tries to test your anti-malware protection, and Cyberhawk picked it up on the spot. Also, it hasn't crashed on my computer like most people said. In fact, it hasn't done anything at all...
Cons: Nothing much...yet.
