Most antivirus waits until a threat has been identified before it blocks it. That works for malware it already knows about. But cybercriminals create new malware every day, and waiting for each one to be labeled "bad" just isn't realistic.
Some threats disguise themselves under names you trust, like Microsoft. Others show up as fake virus alerts that pressure you into calling a phone number.
Until your antivirus catches up, your family's information is at risk.
PC Matic combines proactive antivirus, dark web monitoring, and automated maintenance in every plan, so your devices and personal information stay protected.
If a program hasn't been tested and proven safe, it doesn't run. This stops ransomware, trojans, and brand-new threats before they can do any damage. It's as simple as that.
Get notified if your personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account numbers, shows up on the dark web. Every plan also includes a free personal data exposure report.
Every scan frees up space by clearing out junk and temporary files, removes unnecessary startup apps, and flags vulnerable applications, so your devices keep running smoothly.
Every program on PC Matic's allowlist is verified by our US-based malware research team. In fact, all research, development, and support for PC Matic happens right here in the United States. We believe that makes our protection more reliable and secure.
PC Matic's core patented technology is SuperShield, a global allowlist technology that has been curated for over 20 years, with a cumulative list of 22 billion files. It aligns with NIST's zero trust standard and offers the same level of protection used in our enterprise security products.
Your family shops, banks, games, and browses online every day. PC Matic protects every device on your plan, so no one has to stop and wonder whether something is safe to click.
Our US-based team can help you choose the right protection.
Yes. PC Matic stops ransomware before it can start running. It uses a default-deny approach, which means any program that hasn't been verified as safe is blocked automatically. Cybercriminals create new malware every day, so waiting for each threat to be labeled "bad" isn't realistic. Because PC Matic blocks anything unknown, your files stay protected, even from the newest and most targeted ransomware.
Yes. Fake virus scam websites typically display a phone number in a pop-up window to pressure you into calling. PC Matic blocks any website that does this, unless the number belongs to a legitimate company. Instead of the scam, you'll see a safe webpage that explains what happened, so you know exactly what you avoided.
Yes. PC Matic blocks viruses and worms before they can run and spread to other files. Trojans are stopped the same way. If our malware research team hasn't analyzed a file, it's treated as unknown and can't run, even if it's disguised under a legitimate company name. That way, a harmful file can't reach your computer just by looking trustworthy.
Allowlisting keeps you safe by only letting trusted programs run on your device. PC Matic’s core is SuperShield, its global allowlist of roughly 22 billion applications, verified as safe. When a program tries to run, PC Matic checks it against that list. If it isn't on the list, it's blocked by default. This happens in real time, and our patented digital signature technology helps it work without slowing down your device.
