PCMatic vs Malwarebytes: Which antivirus is better in 2022?

I had been checking customer reviews for PC Matic on a monthly basis for a couple years. Over that time, they had gotten very FEW "not so good" reviews. Bought it almost a year ago and had no hesitation purchasing the Lifetime Evergreen plan. I've had McAfee, Bitdefender, Norton & Kaspersky and none of these can hold a candle to PC Matic in both price and service. Installation was simple, although it does come with a LOT of material to read over, so it does take a while to go through, but it is all great information. They break it down into understandable terms, so it's easy to follow. So far, I've not had any problems or issues, and I really don't expect to because the program is so automated that it will take care of things you had not considered before until you get your report and see everything that is being taken care of for you. I specifically like it because it's a U.S. based business. None of the ones I've used in the past are U.S. companies and don't know any that are besides PC Matic. In fact, even though Bitdefender claims to be a free anti-virus, there is no one to contact. Probably because it's based in Russia. At least it was when I tried it. It's also a difficult program to get off your machine. Once it's downloaded, it put files in places all over the hard drive that other programs don't, so that was scary. I can also say the speed of my pc has increased. Another great plus for PC Matic is even though the whole program is completely automated, you are still in the driver's seat as to what & when you want things setup as well as how often. With any other anti-virus program it's here we are, put us on your pc and don't tell us how to do our job. Just go away and pay out fees! So if you haven't tried PC Matic yet, you should!

All of it sounds good except it's not an all in one product if it doesn't cover the IOS.

Really good. Easy to understand.

Malwarebytes seems to do a decent job, but God help you if you have a problem with it. Their Tech Support is truly terrible. I have been fighting a problem with Malwarebytes interfering with my back-ups on a WIN-10 machine for a month.

I bought Malware bytes a few weeks ago. It blocked my Total AV then the virus threats got worse. I uninstalled MB yesterday and got Total AV back, now it the way it was b4 I bought MB. I still need something to remove the chromium virus, but MB won't do that. I demanded a refund, but I won't hold my breath.

i am currently using a paid one and i think its the best antivirus yet
