This year is an exciting one here at PC Matic, and it’s time to bring you in on the fun. Our teams have been hard at work since summer of 2023 putting together the future of PC Matic. We’re calling this PC Matic version 5, and it’s a complete rebuild of everything you know and love in PC Matic.
To give you a little backstory, the PC Matic application was launched in 2009, 10 years after the founding of PC Pitstop (our former company name), so it’s coming into its teenage years, which means it’s starting to get a little angsty. Software years are like dog years though, so PC Matic has been due for a rebirth. We initially set out to build PC Matic as an all-in-one application for all of our tools. It combined Exterminate, Optimize, Disk MD, Driver Alert, and many other PC Pitstop applications to give our customers one application to rule them all. In 2024, we’re doing the same thing all over again.
The future of PC Matic is a brand-new application, built from the ground up using the latest technology available to provide the most secure, stable, and efficient set of applications for your computer. It combines the PC Matic you know and love with the fastest VPN that we launched last year, a rebuilt privacy scanner (formerly PC Magnum), and so much more.
We’ve even built in more ways to easily get help through our support team, added highly requested features like the ability to control the magnification of the window, go full screen, and manage all of your account subscriptions, change your password, and more right from inside the app!
PC Matic version 5 is faster, easier to navigate, and has drastic improvements to the scan engine to decrease scan times.
How do I get my hands on it early?
