PC Matic

PC Matic sells antivirus from Sioux City, Iowa, and two things set it apart from almost everything else in this index. The first is its method: rather than looking for what is bad, its SuperShield component denies by default and permits only applications on a global list of known-good software. That is allowlisting, the approach usually reserved for locked-down corporate machines, sold to households. The second is where it is made. The company builds and supports entirely in the United States and says so loudly; for its government and public-sector customers that is the buying reason. Its products are PC Matic Complete Protection for households, with PC Matic VPN, PC Matic Privacy and identity protection sold around it, and PC Matic Pro, PC Matic for SMB and PC Matic Server Security for organisations. The method has a consequence in the test results here. Default-deny scores very well on blocking unknown malware and is more prone than a conventional scanner to blocking legitimate software that is not yet on the list, so its protection and false-positive figures should be read together rather than separately.
