Have used this product for a few years on our laptops. Assumed it worked and that we were relatively safe.

Newest laptop developed serious issues, so I upgraded to 24/7 phone support. That is effectively useless. Multiple techs looked at my machine. No one contacted me at that time or later. One person, on third call suggested I remove/reinstall Windows, but was clear that they could not provide me the steps to do so. He said they were not allowed to do that.

So much for service! I figured that out on my own, but that process also crashed. I have a junk machine, less than 6 months old that Dell won’t fix, PC Matic will not or cannot help.

Buyer beware, don’t buy anything from Dell and don’t count on PC Matic. Since what their ads promised is not true, why should I trust what their AV software is supposedly doing?
They did at least have CS reps who spoke English, unlike the PC manufacturer.

I would give their rating a 0 star if it was applicable, since the product is so horrible. It seemed like a scam after they maliciously tried to renew my service after canceling and then they have zero customer service, contrary to their advertising.
When I didn’t select to continue my subscription the company attempted to charge my bank account five times!
Triggering a fraud alert from my bank, prompting me to report it and get a new card.
Fraudulent for its claims of integrity and “American based”, they offer zero customer service and abusive business practices.

PC Matic does not work well

I saw PC Matic advertised on Newsmax and they boasted about them being an American Company as well as their products and services. So I ordered it for my PC and later, for my iPhone. But soon after that, I realised that in order to get into my bank account, I need to disable the VPN service. So what good is it if I need to disable my VPN service in order to get into my bank account? Isn't this the time when I need it the most??? And then with my iPhone, PC Matic customer service admits that you cannnot stream video or audio content while on the VPN servie. So their answer is, step 1. disable VPN, 2. watch or listed to your program, 3. re-enable VPN when done. This is unacceptable. And when I asked for a refund, they said no of course. What a crappy program and what a lousy company they are!! Please do yourself a favor, find a different anti-virus/VPN service. I will tell all of my friends the same.

PCMATIC EXPERENCES FROM 2021 TO DATE

I started my service back in 2021 with their anti-virus, then i started their VPN, two years ago. Then i attempted to add more services in November 2025. Well all came crashing down. In August 2025 they cancel my VPN in which they were paid in full. In November they canceled my anti-virus that was a lifetime subscription. Sold me a yearly package for 160.00 after complaining they canceled most of their services. Today i am waiting for someone to call me,

No customer service number to talk to an actual person about billing issues and no follow through on emails I sent. This was following a special promotion I signed up for the previous year that wasn't applied at my annual renewal until I contacted the Better Business Bureau. After that they made unexplained changes to my account without explanation followed with more unanswered emails and dead end attempts to call.
As an elderly, non -tech person I was not disappointed in the product but in the lack of regard for a US customer from an advertised US company.

PCMatic Expert Technician Error

Several days ago I noticed a full scan attempt remained stuck at 25% completed after 17 hours. I reached out to PCMatic Expert technical Support. The technician I was working with was unable to correct the issue. He advised I uninstall my current and latest PCMatic version 5 and he sent me a link to reinstall the old PCMatic version 4. Since I did that my problems just escalated. Several attempts over several days by other expert technicians have failed. Although PCMatic advertises Phone technical support but it does not actually offer it. PCMatic actually does not offer phone assistance even when their expert technicians exacerbate the problems. Now I have no ability to scan, have an old version on my desktop recommended by the PCMatic expert technician.
I get emails with step by step cut and paste examples none of which are visible in my system since the PCMatic Expert technician had me install an old version of PCMatic and maybe I would go away. A simple phone communication would be in order although PCMatic advertises it but does not provide it. Are their exceptions?

Amazing! My computer was destroyed 2 months ago and has not been powered or connected to the internet- yet I continued to get emails from pc matic telling me how they scanned and cleaned up my dead computer. When I questioned them, the response was lame and evasive. They could not explain it. I can - PC MATIC IS A SCAM!!! they took my money for the past 5 years or so and did nothing.
