This website is owned and operated by PCTools (owned by Symantec Corporation). Provides a very nice anti-virus program, trusted by reputable companies such as VirusTotal and Microsoft. It is a member of the Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP). This website is safe and highly recommended.

their products are ok... however the internet security product slowed down my pc A LOT, i never can shut down this pc when i have the internet security product installed... their spyware doctor is decent... however, Their duel on the website does not make any sense.... they have AVG free and Avira free, and paid products compared to PC tools internet security... this gave me a few questions: how can you compare a free product and a paid product? Why don't you compare their internet security? Are you scared about their internet security products? there were only a few paid products... This gave me another question: There are other competitors out there, why are you only choosing them, why not norton, why not comodo?

Good site, good prpogram but they trick you into automatically renewing your substriction. If you dont go on the site and surf through your settings, your credit card will be charged a year later when your subscription ends even if you dont want it. Otherwise, a fine site.

I only trust their behavior-based antivirus supplement called ThreatFire. Their Spyware Doctor has Trojans in it as detected by 5 virus scanners from ***** Their Registry Mechanic works but it's a rip off. Stay away from PC Tools when looking for free or paid protection: go with Avast or AVG.
