Where is Your Security Software Made?

Where is your security software or antivirus product made, researched, and supported?

PC Matic Antivirus Security Software is safely made and supported in the USA.

Throughout the 20th century, America stood as a symbol for top-quality manufacturing and technological innovation. However, as the economy globalized, more and more American companies began to outsource jobs to foreign countries; sacrificing American-made quality for cheap labor.

The software industry is no stranger to sending jobs overseas. According to Sourcing Line Computer Economics, over 200,000 American programmers and software engineers lost their jobs to offshore outsourcing in 2020 alone, resulting in almost $18 billion in lost wages. Outsourcing cybersecurity to foreign entities also comes with security risks. Security software from an untrustworthy antivirus maker can become a spy tool because it has privileged access to every file, program, and application on a user's system.

The fact is, most popular security software including anti-malware, antivirus and business security products are made, developed and supported in foreign countries. The result is billions of U.S. dollars going to foreign countries, and an ever-increasing security risk to American homes, businesses and our government.

According to the FBI software security risks include weakening our country’s vital infrastructure, national security and economy. These are the primary reasons the FBI has placed agents in various countries throughout the globe to address cyber security; Romania, Estonia, and Ukraine to name a few. Unfortunately Romania, Estonia, Russia and Ukraine also house offices for some of the most popular security software. While working in these countries, the FBI has found cyber organized crime groups targeting the U.S. including federal agencies. For this reason, The US Government has banned some popular foreign antivirus makers because their products were used to collect sensitive information off users’ machines.
