PC Matic has an extraordinary way to deal with security — it utilizes whitelisting as the reason for its ongoing protection. This implies the antivirus recognizes malware in light of PC Matic's interior information base, as well as your very own whitelist. Nonetheless, my testing showed blended results between check results and continuous wellbeing. This leads me to presume that you're in an ideal situation with further developed antivirus projects, for example, Norton 360 or Bitdefender.
Infection Scan — Powerful Detection and Several Scan Types
In tests, PC Matic recognized 100 percent of existing malware found throughout recent weeks. This is a great outcome, predictable with the best antiviruses available. Before you start a sweep you can pick between:
Fast output — Checks the most weak records and organizers on your hard drive and memory.
Full output — Analyzes your whole system for malware.
Particular output — You can pick explicitly which organizers to zero in a sweep on.
Remember that malware, defenseless applications, obsolete drivers, garbage documents, and various unexpected issues are examined, not at all like most other antiviruses that attention simply on malware dangers. Other than the malware it found, PC Matic eliminated just about 1 GB of garbage documents, cautioned me of a few obsolete drivers, and kept a few projects from running at startup that were causing a stoppage. This is all very helpful, however assuming you like to simply zero in your sweep on malware no one but, you can undoubtedly change this in the settings.
The speedy sweep required only 7 minutes, which is an extraordinary outcome. The full output required 27 minutes to filter the whole system (almost 200,000 records) — which is truly sluggish contrasted with Norton 260, which can examine right around 800,000 documents in a short time. The sluggish rates were to some extent because of PC Matic's enhancement include, which moreover checked for garbage or obsolete documents. There were 4 misleading up-sides (innocuous records erroneously distinguished as malware), yet this is not exactly the business normal and ought not be viewed as an issue.
I had the option to partake in an additional hands-off experience since I could utilize PC Matic's sweep scheduler to set up rehashed examines on a day to day, week by week, or month to month premise. You can pick which sort of sweep ought to run and assuming that any extra enhancements ought to happen, and even have the outcomes shipped off you by email. This is genuinely standard for antiviruses, yet I like how simple PC Matic has made it — and the email is a great touch that I haven't seen somewhere else.
SuperShield — Real-Time Protection Based on Whitelist Approach
Sadly, I was less intrigued with PC Matic's continuous protection results. PC Matic utilizes a whitelist strategy called "SuperShield", which expects you to include your own applications in a rundown to consider it alright for the antivirus. You need to would this each time you like to download a new application to utilize it (except if it's now on PC Matic's inward whitelist).
In principle, this ought to prompt a safer system, since nothing that isn't expressly considered safe is viewed as a danger. In any case, PC Matic's whitelist technique just obstructed 86% of dangers. Conversely, Norton utilizes a more customary antivirus strategy and it blocks 100 percent of all malware in tests.
On the off chance that you neglect to add an application to the whitelist, it's not difficult to determine. You can right-tap the PC Matic symbol in your taskbar and change the whitelist to a powerful one. This implies that when you send off a non-whitelisted program or a piece of malware endeavors to associate with your gadget, PC Matic find out if you need specific projects added to the whitelist.
