I started the install on a Friday, but due to technical difficulties, I was not able to complete it until Tuesday.

As part of the installation process, CyberScrub AntiVirus does real-time serial number verification. This requires an Internet connection at the time of installation. In my case, the serial number was valid, but the install failed, for reasons unknown. At that point, a dialog box appeared. A quick look at the dialog box revealed numerous spelling and grammatical errors. If the vendor couldn't even write a correct dialog box, I was not sure they could write an install routine that worked. [See Image 5]

All a program should require is a valid serial number. Aborting an install because the program can’t connect to the license server is excessive, especially for a bargain-priced program such as CyberScrub AntiVirus Lifetime Edition. This approach should give you pause if you're considering buying it.

Three technical support tickets and four days later, I was able to get the install to work.

My joy was short-lived when I got a kernel loading failed message. I submitted a technical support ticket and found that this was a common problem.

Tech support's solution was to go into Control Panel and change the boot.ini file. That is a lot to ask for in a program installation and something I have never seen.

Conclusion: Four days, three tech support tickets, one tech support problem, and a major configuration change, and only then the program was installed and working.

CyberScrub AntiVirus Lifetime Edition is one of many security products available from CyberScrub LLC. But the reality is that CyberScrub AntiVirus is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

One problem is CyberScrub AntiVirus Lifetime Edition uses an older version of the Kaspersky engine. Kaspersky allowed CyberScrub LLC to market the product as a five-year solution for $60.

Knowing that, one is hard placed to find a compelling reason not to go directly to Kaspersky or other top-tier antivirus vendors.

CyberScrub AntiVirus Lifetime Edition does one thing and one thing only; scan for viruses.

The support website does have a lot of valuable information and its support ticketing system provides excellent ticket submittal and status. An email response is sent to confirm a ticket was submitted and received.

During my frustrating attempt to install CyberScrub AntiVirus Lifetime Edition, and while I waited for a response from tech support, I decided to pick up the phone and called the company. Even though no phone support is provided (nor is there any option for it even at a cost), I was able to speak to someone who was sincere in his attempt to figure out why I was having the problem. He did his best to find someone who could assist me.
