When I went to purchase PCmatic, my phone had so many viruses it took me 45 minutes to get it bought and installed on my phone. But once it was installed, and I ran a scan, it cleared up the viruses immediately. I have no way to describe how frustrating those viruses were!! I would recommend PCmatic to anyone! Worth the price. 5 stars!!

After I figured out how to get in the app/computer now it works like it suppose to. Clean out all the devices that you're not using anymore.

Over a year ago had paid subscription. Then when it lapsed I attempted to get backed in and couldn't. Login says it wasn't my email (And it is that which I entered). So I subscribed to another for a year. And now trying again. Help? IDK?

Customer service access is worse than AVG

I guess we shall see my wife's phone got hacked. We'll see how well your program works. Once she gets home, I'm going to install this on her phone. If it does not remove the problem, then I will remove your program

I have this on my pc and it works fine. It was working just fine on my phone until about 10 days ago. Now it just crashes. I emailed pcmatic about a week ago about this and no response. I'm paying for something that I cannot use. I'm disappointed with pcmatic. They are normally really good at what they do. Yes I have the latest update. Still DOESN'T WORK.
★☆☆☆☆Robbert Warner· Jul 11, 2025
Ever since the recent update and maybe even the update before this application has become absolute trash on Android phones. It is not even worth installing. I submitted a complaint to their technical support, and they just told me to suck it up.
