Dow Jones Description
We were incorporated as Network Dynamics in California on August 29, 2003, and changed our name to CyberDefender Corporation on October 21, 2005. We are a provider of secure content management ("SCM") software. Our mission is to bring to market advanced solutions to protect computer users against identity theft, Internet viruses, spyware and related security threats. Individuals who use personal computers make up our subscriber base, therefore we are not dependent on any single customer or on a few major customers. While our product is available for downloading from our website, which makes it available to anyone in the world, we do not have a significant customer base outside of the United States. Our business was originally built around the sale of a single product, our CyberDefender Anti-spyware. During the period from our founding through 2004, our primary focus was on marketing and selling this product. In 2005, we acquired certain assets from Unionway International, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Bing Liu, one of our former directors and an advisor. Among these assets was software that formed the basis for our proprietary Collaborative Internet Security Network, which we refer to as the "CISN" or the "earlyNETWORK".
