It’s billed as an all-round defender for the PC, although this is something of a sleight of hand.
While it coped well with spyware and keyloggers, the promised virus scanner is actually a link to an online scanner, which was considerably slower than a PC-based scanner. There is no firewall capability, meaning PCdefense is not quite the all-rounder it’s made out to be. Then again, it does come with impressive protection against spyware, including quick alerts if something dodgy appears to be going on.
It also guards against rootkits. There’s a system recovery function that was a little more powerful and more customisable than the Windows System Restore, and it can guard against changes to the Hosts file. It also shows what programs are being run when the PC starts, and can disable those that are causing problems.
