Can I use PC Matic on mobile?

PC Matic works on both Android and iOS phones. The Android app is somewhat basic, but it works well. It provides malware protection, but it doesn’t have the useful device optimization tools that are included in the desktop version. Nevertheless, it’s still a good choice for users who are looking for a simple, install-and-forget antivirus for mobile. The iPhone version is also basic but decent, with some good content blocking options and the ability to monitor your other devices that are protected with PC Matic. That said, there are better options out there — like Norton or TotalAV, to name a few.

There used to be a free version but it is no longer available (despite the web page for it still being live). You’ll have to get one of the premium plans . These offer very strong protection against malware and are backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Yes — PC Matic is a very secure antivirus program that uses whitelisting to detect malware. It performed really well in my malware tests, even though it doesn’t use the same technology as some of the top antiviruses on the market. Instead of the traditional blacklisting used by most antiviruses, PC Matic has a list of “good” programs and blocks the execution of files that aren’t on this whitelist, including various kinds of malware. While this unique approach does work, PC Matic frequently blocks legitimate programs, too. I think regularly getting false positives is pretty frustrating. Also, I don’t like that PC Matic doesn’t have many of the online security protections included in the best internet security suites like Norton 360 .

Does PC Matic slow down your computer?

Yes and no. From my tests, running a scan with PC Matic will slow down your device. However, PC Matic is designed to optimize your computer’s performance rather than hinder it. By providing routine maintenance such as cleaning out junk files, it keeps your computer running smoothly. So if you experience a slowdown during the scanning or optimization processes, it’s honestly outweighed by the benefits of keeping your system clean and optimized. However, if you’re looking for an antivirus with the lowest possible system impact you could try Bitdefender , which is fully cloud-based.

Does PC Matic have a VPN?

Yes, PC Matic does offer a VPN service . It has 256-bit AES encryption and a no-logs policy, and it’s a decent choice for protecting your privacy while on public Wi-Fi networks. It supports up to 5 active connections and is compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. However, the VPN is only available with PC Matic’s higher-tiered plans. If you’re after an antivirus with a VPN, you’re better off going for a product like Norton , which includes a good VPN bundled with all its 360 plans.

What is PC Matic Privacy?

PC Matic Privacy, formerly known as PC Matic Magnum, is a program that removes sensitive information from your browser and Windows device. It permanently deletes your browsing history, download history, cache, image cache, and cookies — and can also remove MS Office and PDF files. Unfortunately, PC Matic Privacy isn’t included in any of the antivirus plans . You’ll need to purchase it separately. There is a link to purchase it within the PC Matic app.

Where is PC Matic based?

PC Matic, from development to customer support, is based in the USA. The company takes pride in its American roots, and the product was created entirely within the USA. Its research, development, and technical support are all fully US-based.
