Answer 1

This software is made by Novatix and is free to try and $20 to buy , this is there description of it for what its worth lol "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."
It may make your pc crash , seems somewhat unstable , goto www.download.com and under security / spyware look up some alternatives , even better site is spyware warrior ok

Answer 2

Cyberhawk is an excellent program.

1. Yes, it is safe.

2. Some people have problems with it slowing their computers and other have no slowing at all. I guess it depends on the computer.

3. Detection rates and other information is provided as part to the program.

4. With Cyberhawk there is nothing you have to do but download it. There is no setup required. When Cyberhawk detects an infection a window will inform. It will either offer you the choice of action or inform you it blocked and/or removed the infection automatically.

5. The Rootkit scanner detects and removes Rootkit infection. Rootkits became famous with the discovery that Sony was installing Rootkits with music and videos.

The best way for you to decide if you like and want to use Cyberhawk is to download it. If you do not like it, it is easily removeable.

It is probably "safe" yet by looking at it I see that unless you pay for it you can not remove the malware with it. Even payed for it is not as good as my system mechanic. iolo.com I would not bother with it. Especially since you have to download the program, I see no option to buy a hard copy.

Malware or malicious software is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent. It is a portmanteau of the words "malicious" and "software". The expression is a general term used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software or program code.

Many normal computer users are however still unfamiliar with the term, and most never use it. Instead, "(computer) virus" is used in common parlance and often in the general media to describe all kinds of malware. Another term that has been recently coined for malware is badware, perhaps due to the anti-malware initiative Stopbadware or corruption of the term "malware".

A rootkit is a set of software tools intended to conceal running processes, files or system data from the operating system. Rootkits have their origin in relatively benign applications, but in recent years have been used increasingly by malware to help intruders maintain access to systems while avoiding detection. Rootkits exist for a variety of operating systems, such as Linux, Solaris and versions of Microsoft Windows. Rootkits often modify parts of the operating system or install themselves as drivers or kernel modules.
