MatrikSoft Security Care1.0

MatrikSoft Security Care is a security application that comes packed with several features designed to help you protect your system against all types of threats, optimize computer’s resources while playing games, lock folders, as well as permanently delete files from your system.

At-a-glance information

The program adopts a dashboard that allows you to view details about the antivirus scan, monitor bandwidth in real time, and check out info about drives (volume name, free, used and total space). In addition, it reveals a list with all running processes, while letting you kill the selected one.

Built-in antivirus

MatrikSoft Security Care helps you make use of a scan mode in order to look for malware, spyware, Trojans, or other types of viruses in your system. On the downside, the tool makes use of old antivirus definitions so your PC is not secured against the latest threats.There’s support for a single scan method, so you cannot apply a quick, thorough or custom one. The scan process takes a lot of time and is completely useless since the virus database is not updated.

Extra security tools

MatrikSoft Security Care comes with support for a child protection mode that automatically blocks websites with inappropriate content. In addition, you can set up a master password and build up a list with games that you want to optimize but you are not allowed to manually specify the websites that you want to restrict access to.Automatic backups are supported in case you plan to save one folder’s content to another directory on your system at a custom time period or on changes. You can lock directories, permanently delete files from your computer using multiple passes, hide encrypted messages within images, lock the computer, and run the tool at Windows startup.

Needs updates and improvements

All in all, MatrikSoft Security Care has a lot of work to do before it can be actually called a reliable security tool. It has several drawbacks, such as outdated virus definitions and single scan mode. We have tested the tool on Windows 8.1 Pro and come across errors when trying to lock file.
