PC Tools Internet Security 2011 review
Since I had test driven the 2010 version of PC Tools Internet Security, and had given it top marks, I readily accepted an invitation from PC Tools to test drive the 2011 version. And, I’m happy to say, (after testing this application for 30+ days), that this new version is even more impressive than the previous suite.
PC Tools Internet Security 2011 performed superbly in the “real Internet world”. The world that’s full of cyber criminals, scam and fraud artists, and worse. The world that reeks of tainted search engine results, malware infected legitimate websites, drive-by downloads and bogus security software.
By combining the highly regarded technologies of Spyware Doctor, a very efficient Firewall, an Antivirus engine, and ThreatFire’s heuristic detection engine (Behavior Guard), plus a Browser Defender, and more – PC Tools has built a suite of applications that provides powerful Anti-Spyware, Anti-Virus, Firewall, and Spam protection. Taken together, the components provide excellent protection from hackers, cybercriminals, unauthorized software, and network attacks.
PC Tools has a knack for building powerful applications, but still manages to combine each component in a highly functional and easy to understand user interface – not as easy to accomplish as you might imagine.
It’s hard to overstate the fact that typical computer users require a simple, intuitive, and easy to use interface in order to get the most out of a security suite, and PC Tools Internet Security excels in this department.
The application is straightforward to setup, customize, and run – as the following screen captures illustrate. (Click on any graphic to enlarge).
Fast facts:
Built on award-winning Spyware Doctor antispyware technology.
ThreatFire Behavioral Intelligence features technology to block new threats faster than traditional signature methods.
Advanced rootkit detection technology identifies and removes hidden threats from your PC.
Memory Scanner helps eradicate threats lurking on your PC.
Download Guard stops new threats by checking your downloads against a cloud-based network.
Multi-layered browsing protection against web-based attacks including phishing attempts, scare tactics and silent automatic malicious downloads.
IntelliGuard™ technology stops potential threats before they infect your PC.
Automated Firewall defends against cybercriminals seeking to gain access to your PC. It analyses network traffic and automatically makes intelligent decisions for you to reduce annoying alerts.
Advanced spam filtering utilizes intuitive behavioral technology to detect spam and effectively block phishing, unsolicited and malware emails.
Smart Updates provide automatic updates to combat the newest malware by silently installing product updates and upgrades that keep you protected without interrupting your online activity.
24/7 Global Malware Research Center constantly tackles the latest threats and implements new technology to quickly combat cybercrime, keeping your online network safe.
Network Awareness: Set “trust levels” for each network you connect to and let the firewall automatically adjust rules to match.
Designed to reduce impact on your PC system and your network – perfect for memory-intensive tasks such as playing games, watching movies and streaming content online.
Improved AntiSpam features. Improved accuracy and performance give you better and faster filtering of unwanted email.
PC Tools Internet Security 2011 , which is available in 28 languages, offers all of the protection that a top notch anti-malware suite should, in an easy installation package leading to a “dead simple” interface, and then does what it sets out to do – protect the user efficiently, against the epidemic of malware and additional dangers circulating on the Internet waiting to trap the under protected, and the unaware.
System requirements: Microsoft Windows 7 (32bit, 64bit), Windows Vista SP1+ (32bit, 64bit), Windows XP SP2+ (32bit)
You may buy PC Tools Internet Security 2011, ($59.95 direct, for three licenses), or you may download a free, limited, trial version , at PC Tools. Please note that the trial version offers time unlimited real-time protection (free threat blocking), but does not remove threats detected during on-demand scans.

Super contest!
I use every day of the free PC Tools Firewall Plus. It is sensational! I’m really pleased. I do not have any viruses missed. If the whole package is so great, it says the contest. In addition, I will add that firewall in a very small extent, I overloaded the system and very rarely yelled that he wanted to allow something to take action. I resisted at its default settings. Excellent! Firewalls One of the best I ever had on his computer.
I want one for me! 🙄
