Okay, first of all, i downloaded cyber defender one day and it told me that my cpu has 400 viruses (obviously it didn't) when i checked the infected files, most of the files were legitimate. When i decided to uninstall cyberdefender, my cpu got flooded with viruses because it directs you to one of cyberdefender's pages.
