PC Matic Home Security protects our PC from Internet-based threats.

Protecting our PC from viruses, malware, and malicious or harmful software is important. This kind of program can destroy critical system data, steal confidential information or display annoying pop-ups each time.

There are many PCs that have not installed any security system that will protect them from the dangers that exist on the Internet.

The software PC Matic Home Security protects our PC from viruses and other threats. The software has the VIPRE antivirus engine, a recognized and award-winning anti-virus software. This ensures that our PC will always be well protected. No antivirus on the market offers a 100% security guarantee. To offer us the best possible protection, this software has Super Shield technology, which improves protection against unknown software.

Super Shield prevents running programs that are not on the whitelist. The whitelist is located in the cloud (Internet servers), where it is constantly updated thanks to the data sent to all the PCs with this software installed. If, for example, we are going to run the whatsapp.exe file, the antivirus blocks this app and checks the data from the white list and if this application is found in the whitelist, permits its execution; if not, analyzes it and if it is harmless, the software allows it to be executed. Of course, this is just an example, and how the system works is more complex and sophisticated.

Another danger that is perhaps more unknown is taking advantage of the vulnerabilities of certain programs. For example, the version of the free software Java from 2 years ago may have a security problem that does not exist in current versions. This vulnerability makes every user that has installed this old software version exposed to someone who knows how to exploit that vulnerability and try to steal confidential information or destroy important data from the PC.

We often do not update programs because the file size of updates is 100 or 200 Mb. PC Matic Home Security protects us from this danger thanks to Vulnerability Protection. This system is responsible for downloading and installing automatically and transparently updates of free software installed on our PC. We can schedule the updated start time.

The three elements that make up this security software (Vipre antivirus, Super Shield, and Vulnerability Protection) make it a very good choice to install it on our PC and let it take care of the PC's safety and protection.

PC Matic Home Security is free and can be used indefinitely. We can install the program even on 3 computers with the same license. So it can protect a lot of computers in our House. The software is free for personal use; if we want to make professional use, we should buy a business version with support and extra features.
