"PC Matic- great utility"
Version: PC Matic 1.1.0.33
Pros
Polished interface, thorough scanning, smart utility
Cons
I didn't have this years ago!
Summary
This is a utility that (finally) backs up what it says it will do. I have a machine that's been "seasoned" and I was considering wiping it and rebuilding it when I came across PC Matic. I used this utility and I'll be darned! My PC runs markedly better and faster. Kudos!
Fantastic utility.

"This is an exceptionally complete and helpful product."
Version: PC Matic 1.1.0.33
Pros
1. Realtime antivirus
2. Defgrags my drive
3. Updates my drivers
4. Optimizes my Internet
5. Lots of information and suggestions
6. Can be used on 5 computersCons
1.Took me a while to realize I didn't need to register, just log in.
2.Need to look through all the options.Summary
PC Matic is a suite of products. It does everything from Defragmentation, DrivereUpdates, Internet Optimization, and it even has a realtime antivirus called SuperShield. There are other things it does but I can't remember them all now.
I think the people who don't like it haven't actually tried it. It's been around a while and has a strong following and even a web forum.
It has improved since my first use. -
"Total scam. DO NOT BUY!"
Version: PC Matic 1.1.0.33
Pros
None to speak of
Cons
Their free scanner is basically 'scareware'. Lies about infections, and does nothing to fix or improve speed
Summary
I did a test of this software, because lately I have received several non-booting computers into my shop, whose common denominator was that they used PC Matic before the problems started.
Oh yeah.. Speaking of shills, I also came across a review that claimed he removed PC Matic and his computer went back to slow so the program must work. Sorry but that is total bullsh*t. Basically in order to do that it would have to restore the computer to the state it was in before the program was installed. Simply uninstalling does not do that, you would have to do a System Restore - and that also is contingent on you actually HAVING something that is slowing the computer down in the first place.
I mentioned Scareware.. That's the name for all those banner ads you see telling you to "Click here because your computer may be infected".. Well, I tried the 'free scan' with a computer that I KNEW to be clean (it was a fresh install), and guess what? Their scanner found 4 'infections' and numerous 'problems' with the computer, which it of course promised to fix for $49.99.
Seriously, save your money and use free tools such as Microsoft Security Essentials, CCleaner, Glary Utilities, and SuperAntiSpyware. Or just pay someone to do it for you. Because basically you will end up paying them anyway once this pile of crap breaks the computer.
Oh and by the way, 99% of all the reviews on here are PCPitstop employees doing shill reviews.

This program simply preys on computer illiterates and gives them a placebo effect for $50. -
"Very good program"
Version: PC Matic 1.1.0.33
Pros
Simple interface, includes a malware program, does a good job of cleaning up your PC.
Cons
Need to buy a new license every year, but other programs ask you to do that too.
Summary
I was looking for something to speed up my computer and the program I had didn't seem to be helping, so figured I'd give this a try. First of all, it costs $49.95, but if you go to leave the site without buying you'll get an offer for #39.95. Set-up is easy.It includes the usual combination of program--registry fixer, defrager, updates your drivers, empties junk files, and other services. After running the program my PC did run faster. I noticed that videos loaded and played much better and web pages didn't hang. The SuperShield malware detector found a toolbar that my other program had missed. Super Shield will ask you about questionable programs and let you decide whether to allow it or not.
So, I would say this is comparable to other fix-it programs. You need to renew every year, but I've had other programs that require you to pay to update the antiviral library. It's certainly worth a try. -
