Hi! I noticed an update in the branch of this product and for the first time familiarized myself with the product on its website. The manufacturer promises just some super-duper-nano-technology (reactive and proactive protection), and the most expensive product for home costs almost 100 euros. Wondering if you've experienced this line of products yet? Do they really justify the cost?

I had tested Heimdal Thor, and the result was catastrophic. :/

Interesting.... I don't see such a product on their website. Perhaps they have replaced it.
Now for home users there is:

THREAT PREVENTION HOME (Proactive),
NEXT-GEN ANTIVIRUS HOME (Reactive),
PREMIUM SECURITY HOME (Proactive + Reactive).

Maybe you can test if not all three, at least the most expensive and coolest of them?

Have not “tested” it, as I’m sure you have, but from my experience it really doesn’t do much of anything. Very similar to Webroot.
I believe it to be absolutely useless, and if memory serves me correctly, a pain in the butt to uninstall

you all better watch out! I installed Heimdal and my Tinnitus started talking.

Used Heimdal a few years back when it was sold under the name of Thor Premium and Vigilance, both failed when you use a VPN or customised DNS entry as the product likes to use its own DNS and fails completely if your deviate from this

How about a test that no one seems to do? I would love to see a current test of PC Matic. A Big Thanks in Advance
