PCMatic good solution or not?
Hi guys,
I see the PCMatic commercials, along with ALL of my clients.. I am a computer consultant that goes into homes & small businesses...
I do NOT deal with servers, just home computers.
How can these guys say they are 100% solution to protect against all threats? 100% against ransomeware too...
Is this a good solution?
If yes, why? If not, why not?
Should I recommend to clients?
I know I have read they blacklist everything, so nothing gets through...
If they are sooo good as they say, why wouldn’t everyone be using??
Thanks again, :-)

I've seen some of their ads... a used car salesman might as well be pushing it. I've seen nothing impressing about it based on their own commericials (factoring in that those types of ads like to sensationalize), but I'm sure it's probably average at best. From the bit of research I've done, I've seen a good number of complaints and I tend not to trust registry optimizers anyway.
The article dbrunton put up is well pretty well detailed.

Awesome guys, thank you. What do you guys install on home machines for protection? What do you think of Avast Free version? Do you purchase something for clients, if so what? what do you leave on systems for clients? Thanks!
Have Avast and so far alright besides the normal advert to upgrade from the free version. Other protection is leverage on the plugin or add on in browser for privacy safeguards. As well as keeping a password wallet manager to store various login credentials. Use 2FA for login where supported. You may be interested in related articles.

I've used Avira Free in some cases, and it has generally been pretty good. I used to use AVG in the past until I ran into occasional issues where downloads would never quite complete. Windows Defender is a lot better than it used to be, so that's an acceptable option as well.
