In 2011, we implemented SuperShield, an application whitelist, as its primary method of malware detection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the primary method of malware detection was the application whitelist, PC Matic was still using a blacklist provided by a third-party vendor.\u00a0\u00a0Eventually, PC Matic built our very own blacklist technology.\u00a0\u00a0This technology works seamlessly with the whitelist to provide superior malware detection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the end of April, 2017, PC Matic 3.0 was released.\u00a0\u00a0These enhancements included a new user interface and additional malware protection capabilities. Additionally, we developed new technologies which helped in detecting and preventing new types of malicious threats. This technology is what is now patent pending.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since 2009, PC Matic has been protecting millions of PC users, keeping the American people safe and their data secure, all while using an American-made product.\u00a0\u00a0As you can see, malware constantly evolves, and so will the technologies behind PC Matic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More Information on PC Matic&#8217;s Pending Patent We recently wrote a post about our patent pending technologies with PC Matic, and many of you wrote in wanting to know more about it.
