Everything your computer needs, running quietly in the background.

One product, three jobs: stop what gets in, close the holes it would have come through, and keep an eye on the whole thing.

$140per year, per computer
What you actually get

Three jobs. Two small programs.

Total PC Protection is not a bundle of things you have to learn. Two programs go on your computer — the antivirus agent and our monitoring agent — and between them they handle all three jobs below. We install them, configure them, and then watch them on your behalf. You will not be asked to click anything, renew anything, or decide anything.

Antivirus that keeps up

ThreatDown EDR — Endpoint Detection and Response. It doesn't only match known virus signatures; it watches how programs behave and stops the ones acting like an attack, including threats nobody has catalogued yet.

Software kept current

Vulnerability and Patch Management. We inventory the software on your computer, build a patching policy for that specific machine, and keep Windows and your third-party programs up to date automatically.

Watched around the clock

Your computer's health is monitored 24/7. When something starts going wrong — a drive reporting errors, a service that keeps crashing, protection that has stopped reporting in — we get alerted.

Plus a ticketing channel built into the software, so you can reach us without hunting for a phone number.

Reports for all of the services you signed up for get emailed to you regularly, so you always know what's happening on your computer. The exact schedule is on the FAQ.

Monitoring, in detail

What "we get alerted" actually means

Monitoring is the vaguest word in this industry, so here is what it means here. These are some of the things that raise an alert on your computer:

  • A hard drive reporting that it is failing. Drives usually warn somebody before they die. Normally nobody is listening.
  • A drive filling up — the alert fires when less than 20% of the disk is free.
  • The Windows firewall has been switched off.
  • Device Manager is reporting a device with problems.
  • Blue-screen crashes.
  • The computer hasn't been restarted in three days — which usually means updates are installed and waiting for a reboot to take effect.

Those are examples, not the whole list.

Some of it we can settle without involving you at all.

That last one is a good example. A computer sitting on updates that need a restart can be sent an on-screen message asking you to reboot — or, if you'd rather, restarted for you automatically while it's idle and outside the hours you actually use it.

What happens after an alert — read this part.

An alert comes to us, not to you. We look at what came in and decide what's worth telling you about, so you're not pestered every time something twitches. When it matters, we get in touch and tell you what we're seeing.

Then it's your call. If fixing it means someone logging into your computer and working on it, that's hands-on work — billed at our normal rate, less the 10% discount your enrolled computer earns.

Knowing is what's included. The fixing is separate. We'd rather be blunt about that line than let you find it on an invoice. And knowing is worth more than it sounds: almost nobody finds out their hard drive is dying until the morning it has already taken everything with it.

What it costs

$140 a year. Per computer. That's it.

Annual billing, one year at a time. No monthly plan, no multi-year lock-in, no introductory rate that doubles in year two. It renews automatically — we email you 30 days beforehand, and you have until a week out to say no.

per computer, per year — about $11.67 a month
