    Posted

    Hi @flash411
     

    I'm sorry, PC Matic does not work on Chromebooks.

     

    PC Matic can be installed computers that run Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 operating systems; and macOS Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, and Catalina (10.12-10.15).

     

    PC Matic will not run on Kindles, Chromebooks, or iOS devices (iPad/iPhone).

     

    You can install the PC Matic ad blocker in the Chrome browser by clicking here.

    If you have any additional questions regarding your PC Matic software, please feel free to reach out to our customer support help desk at: https://www.pcmatic.com/help

    Hi @Jo Ann

     

    UAC settings are system wide, so it either has to be turned on or off for all programs.

     

    With PC Matic, only the program's user interface requires this prompt from Windows when it is opened.  The real-time security of SuperShield is always running and scheduled scans will run without any need for user approval.  The PC Matic user interface requires UAC because that is where you can make changes to scans and SuperShield that will affect the security of the computer.

     

    If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to our support team at https://www.pcmatic.com/help

    Hello @Just a Guy

    To answer your questions about PC Matic features:

    1) PC Matic does not have chat support. All support for PC Matic products is through our email-based help desk at https://www.pcmatic.com/help. 

    2) PC Matic does not provide dark web monitoring. 

    3) PC Matic does not have a password manager.

    4) PC Matic does not have a VPN.

     

    I'm sorry, but I am not aware of a post in the forums specifically reporting increased processor speed when using PC Matic after switching from Norton.

    Though there might not be a post specific to your request, we frequently get reviews from customers regarding increased computer performance after they begin using PC Matic.

     

    It won't cost you anything to try PC Matic.  Our software comes with a 30-day 100% satisfaction money-back guarantee.  If you are not satisfied with your purchase or how the program works, just let us know and your money will be refunded.

     

    Thank you for your interest in PC Matic.

    Hi @Bill stewart

     

    PC Matic includes SuperShield. It is a real time security component and will block any program on our blacklist and programs that are not on the "known good" white list.  SuperShield should never allow malware to execute on your computer without the user's knowledge or permission.

     

    There is more information about SuperShield here.

     

    SuperShield is available for computers that run Windows and macOS 12 or later.

     

    We also have an Android app that protects the device from malware in apps and files.

     

    PC Matic is not available for iOS devices (iPhone/iPad). In fact, there are no true anti-virus apps for iOS devices.

    Apple's own security settings prevent apps from accessing information on your device without your specific consent. Even AV apps would not be able to access the files of the device to perform scans.

     

    If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Support team at https://www.pcmatic.com/help


     

    VPN

    in PC Matic's Paid Products

    Hi @Dino

     

    You shouldn't have any issues with using a VPN with PC Matic.  At the most, you may need to allow PC Matic access to the internet in the VPN settings.

     

    We don't have a specific recommendation for any one VPN over another as we have not done testing.

     

    Thanks for the question!

     

     

    Will this work for my Apple MacBook Pro?

    Hello @Rich Giannini

    PC Matic can be installed on Macs running macOS 10.12 or later. 

    I'm sorry, but we do not have an app for iOS (iPad/iPhone).

    PC Matic requires a high-speed internet connection, so if your hotspot can provide upload speed of at least 1MB you shouldn't have any issues.

     

    If you have any other questions, or need any additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at the link below:

    Please click the SuperShield icon in the bottom right corner of the computer screen beside the time and date. A small menu will appear.

     

    Choose "Protection Level" then "Allow Java"

     

    For your highest level of protection we recommend that you only use "Allow Java" mode when using a program or site that is being disabled by the default protection mode.

     

    If that does not resolve the issue, please open a support ticket at https://www.pcmatic.com/help so we can take a closer look.

    Next, navigate to C:\Program Data\PCPitstopDat and move the downloaded pcpsfed.dat and pcpsfed-inc.dat file to inside of the datRTP folder that is at that location.

     

    After you have both files inside the datRTP folder, reboot the computer and let us know if the issue is not resolved.

     

    You can click the link below that corresponds to your version of Windows to view a video of the process.
