Get Peace of Mind Against Ransomware

PC Matic uses a allowlist based protection to defeat the fake virus scam. These websites always popup a phone number, and PC Matic blocks any website that shows a phone number inside a pop-up window unless it's a allowlisted phone number from a legitimate company. Users are redirected to a safe webpage with information about the scam.

Before a virus or worm can execute and begin replicating, PC Matic sees it as an unknown and blocks the attempt. Trojans are also blocked as unknown before execution because our Malware Research Team has never analyzed that file; even if they attempt to masquerade under legitimate names like Microsoft.

PC Matic leverages patented technology to offer industry-best protection for your devices. SuperShield, our real-time protection allowlisting component, deploys a default-deny approach blocking all unknown applications from running without causing headaches or slowdowns. This is made possible by our global list of known good applications and patented digital signature technology.

Our antivirus innovations continue to lead the cybersecurity industry with a company that is 100% USA based and fulfilling our mission; provide industry-leading computer, mobile device and business endpoint security that is affordable and easy to manage for everyone. Application Allowlisting is the most effective security software solution to prevent ransomware.
