Benefits

Having a reliable, up-to-date antivirus product on your computer is essential.

How it works

PC Tools offers both a free and commercial version of their Antivirus product. The free edition is packed with features including Intelliguard protection, smart updates, scan and remove, and virus protection. However, the free edition does lack high-speed updates, 24/7 dedicated support, and phone support. The full-featured version adds 24/7 support, phone support, and high-speed updates. Though PC Tools Antivirus is primarily an antivirus application, it does provide some limited defenses against other forms of related malware. However, it is not an anti-spyware application. This product is offered using a yearly subscription that covers three computers. Additional licenses come in five, ten, fifteen, twenty five, and fifty computer versions.

Recommendations

If you’re looking for a free antivirus product, the free version of PC Tools Antivirus is an excellent choice that offers real-time protection and smart updates. Real-time protection is rarely found in free antivirus offerings. However, the free version lacks support. If support is important to you, spring for the paid version. Before you buy, give the free product a try to make sure that you like it as you can always upgrade once you decide.
