![]() Overall, PCProtect’s WebShield needs improvement. I could also access phishing websites that Google Chrome’s default phishing protections blocked. Even when I submitted a known phishing website to PCProtect’s team, I got a reply saying the site was already blocked, yet I could still access it weeks later - which just isn’t good enough. Even though TotalAV and PCProtect use the same technology to detect unsafe sites, PCProtect’s WebShield hasn’t been updated since 2019, and TotalAV’s Webshield is updated regularly. In my testing, it didn’t detect nearly as many unsafe sites as TotalAV. Unfortunately, I can’t really recommend PCProtect’s WebShield. WebShield works on all browsers from your Windows desktop (no need to install an extension), but Mac users have to install WebShield as a browser extension (macOS’s built-in protections prevent desktop apps from filtering browser activity). WebShield is a tool for blocking phishing sites, exploit attacks, and other malicious websites. It has a 99% malware detection rate, includes a helpful smart scan, and blocked every malware file I tried to download. Overall, PCProtect’s anti-malware protection is pretty good. PCProtect also offers real-time malware detection - in my testing, it blocked every single malware file I tried to download onto my computer, including zipped files that some antiviruses fail to block. It took about 30 minutes to complete on my computer, and it identified and removed all of the malware samples I’d hidden in my running processes, as well as over 800 duplicate files on my hard drive that I didn’t know about. The system scan only took about 90 minutes, which is a little slower than competitors like Bitdefender, but it’s still pretty good. For my testing, I downloaded a malware database of almost 1,000 files, including viruses, trojans, adware, rootkits, spyware, and ransomware, before running a full system scan. PCProtect was able to detect almost 99% of the malware on my computer, which is a really good result.
