Perfect forward secrecy (PFS) is supported, although no details are provided. We are told that the PCProtect VPN uses OpenVPN with AES-256 cipher with SHA-512 hash authentication and an RSA-4096 handshake. Technology and VPN companies in the UK are obliged by law to keep logs and hand them over to the authorities upon request. Home of GCHQ and now the Investigatory Powers Act, which was described by Edward Snowden as “the most extreme surveillance in the history of western democracy,” the UK is a terrible place for privacy. It is also worth noting that PCProtect’s umbrella company, SS Protect Limited, is based in the UK. This information will be shared with third-party service providers (to the extent permitted by applicable data protection laws), partners, and sponsors.Ĭredit where it is due, however: the "privacy" policy does clearly explain that you have no privacy when using this product. PCProtect collects a huge amount of personal information from its users – too much to detail here. The core advertised features of PCProtect are:Īlthough it does not hit the headlines, PCProtect also includes a VPN. Payment is made via credit/debit card or PayPal. However, no further information on this appears to be available. The website notes that a “family” package can be purchased, which includes licenses for six devices (total). Up to three devices can be protected using one “home” (standard) package. To fix the issues it finds, you must pay for a license. This will scan your system for threats, system boost, and disk cleaner issues, but it will not fix them.
RATE SCANGUARD PLUS
If you want to try out PCProtect, a 30-day money-back guarantee is available, “No questions asked!” Given the shady promotional tactics it employs, plus support’s refusal to answer my questions, however, I am not confident that this guarantee can be trusted.Īlternatively, you can download a free version of PCProtect.
Yikes! And this is not made at all clear on the website, After this time, “all services automatically renew at the standard rate using the same payment method, unless you request a change.” A standard annual subscription costs $149. The thing is, though, that the "regular" price is entirely fictional as far as I can tell as this product has been on permanent "offer" for years.Įven more worrying, though, is that this is just a promotional price that expires after 1 year.
RATE SCANGUARD PRO
On the website, PCProtect AntiVirus Pro is advertised at $39.99 (also £ and €), an alleged $80 discount from the "regular" price.
