Traditional antivirus works from a list of known threats, which leaves a gap. New ransomware and zero-day attacks (threats that haven't been discovered yet) can slip through until someone identifies them and adds them to the list.
PC Matic works the opposite way. Before any program can run, our real-time protection, checks it against a global allowlist that includes more than 22 billion applications that have been tested and verified as safe. If it isn't there, it's blocked by default. Thanks to our patented technology, all of this happens without slowing your device down.
