PC Matic effectively stops what others cannot with the use of three advanced technologies: an automated whitelist, fileless script blocking, and brute force attack mitigation. In addition, the security software also includes patch management and driver updates, keeping known vulnerabilities patched before hackers can exploit them.
Avoid invasive pop-ups and stop malicious ads in their tracks with the PC Matic Adblocker extension. PC Matic’s advanced technology also protects you from the fake virus scam, blocking it before it can lock down your web browser and cause panic.
PCs slow down the more you use them, unless they are properly maintained. PC Matic’s optimization tools keep your PC running at its peak performance with scheduled scans cleaning out junk files and the accumulated data you do not need on your computer.
Instead of using the archaic blacklist technology competitors use, PC Matic deploys an automated whitelist for real-time, proactive protection against today’s cyber threats. In addition, PC Matic also uses a script blocking agent, effectively thwarting all forms of fileless malware attacks.
PC Matic’s SuperShield whitelist functions by using a list of known, trusted programs and allows them to run. Everything else, that is not on the whitelist, is sent to the PC Matic malware research team to be tested. Within 24 hours it is categorized either trusted or malicious.
Hackers are exploiting scripting agents like PowerShell to install malware, which doesn’t need an executable. PC Matic has developed a script blocking agent to identify malicious scripting activity. So far, this has left PC Matic consumers entirely protected from fileless infections.
During the scanning process, PC Matic ensures key third-party applications are patched, and drivers are updated. By automating this process, PC Matic users can rest assured their devices are kept updated, with known vulnerabilities patched to avoid exploitation from cyber criminals.
PC Matic's adblocking technology keeps your PC and data secure from malicious ads, also known as malvertising attacks. These attacks have become increasingly advanced, effectively infecting PCs without the user even clicking on the ad.
Our adblocker also stops persistent pop-up ads. These ads are not only an annoyance, but they are also designed to obtain the user’s personal information such as location, computer information, and browsing habits. This information is in turn sent to other companies for further analysis and sales efforts.
PC Matic’s adblocking technology prevents the fake virus scam pop-ups from appearing on your screen. These pop-ups overrun the browser, until the session is ultimately killed at a task manager level. The alerts are an attempt to create a sense of urgency, claiming to be from a well-known tech company, like Microsoft, stating the device has been infected and they must call a 1-800 immediately.
With the use of our adblocker, your data, devices and privacy will be secure from cyber criminals deploying malvertising attacks, persistent pop-ups, and fake virus scams.
