PC Matic Review – Strong Approach to Security<\/h4>\n

CPA Practice Advisor Columnist Dave McClure recently touted PC Matic as a strong security solution for “professional and home offices”.<\/p>\n

Black Hats and White Lists: PC Matic Offers Strong Approach to Security By Dave McClure | CPA Advisor | OCT 30, 2015<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Today is different. While law enforcement struggles to catch up, and traditional forms of protection proving virtually worthless, security vendors \u2013 from Symantec and McAfee to Trend Micro and more — have again turned to whitelisting as a solution. They may not all do it in the same way, but they are uniformly in favor of trying application whitelisting as a critical part of a firm\u2019s security schema.<\/p>\n

The surprising part of all of this is not that the old is new again, but rather the resurgence and strong performance of PCPitstop and its flagship PC Matic as a viable offering for professional and home offices<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nI do like the whitelist approach PC Matic has taken. And for a solo practitioner or very small practice, PC Matic is an economical security program<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The best advice for these accounting offices is to try the security features of PC Matic<\/strong> with other tools we have recommended in the past, including LavaSoft\u2019s Ad-Aware free version, and SpyBot\u2019s Search-And-Destroy. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
