Ransomware and cyber security have an inverse relationship. PC Matic prevents ransomware by blocking it before it can begin to execute using our default-deny protection. With cyber criminals creating new malware every day, waiting for a "bad" classification is not feasible. By blocking all unknown applications PC Matic can protect you against the newest and most targeted 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. While the page is blocked the user is redirected to a safe webpage with information about the scam.
PC Matic prevents all three types of attacks by utilizing our global allowlist and a default-deny approach. 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 we have never seen that file; even if they attempt to masquerade under legitimate names like Microsoft.
Automated PC maintenance occurs every time a scan runs on your Windows PC or laptop to keep it working like new and free from software vulnerabilities.

We take great pride in the fact that all of the research, development and support for PC Matic is done right here in the United States. All of our competitors outsource some piece of their product; research, development, support or all three. We believe by keeping all pieces of the product in the United States, there is an increase in the reliability of the security product.
