Fortect Reviews

Fortect is a cloud-based PC security suite built by engineers and developers specializing in Windows systems. After activating your license, which can be done from within the app, you’ll get access to all Fortect's powerful features.

You can start by using the app’s one-click full scan, which thoroughly analyzes your PC. This includes performance, security, and privacy complications, such as crashed programs, malware, junk files, potentially unwanted programs (PUA), cache overload, and outdated drivers.

Before diving deep into the app, we recommend checking Fortect's security settings. There, you can toggle between different security features and customize how each works. For example, you can choose the browsing shield to perform in-depth URL scans that fully decrypt URLs or just a simple superficial analysis of domain names.

Furthermore, you can define a file size scan limit, choose notifications settings, manage exceptions, and decide if generated security reports should auto-delete after a given number of days.

Fortect's enhanced antivirus engine is found in the app’s security center features. Here, you can turn real-time malware and browsing protection on and off and use different scanning options, including a full system scan, quick scan, and custom scan. To enhance malware, ransomware, and adware detection, Fortect uses an intelligent cloud-driven threat analysis system.

We loved the built-in drag-and-drop feature in custom scans, which lets you drag files into the app to quickly analyze them – a simple and easy way to scan files. The security center also includes a quarantine section where you can review and manage flagged folders and files, with options to permanently delete or restore them.

Besides proactive malware and ransomware protection, Fortect offers PC responsiveness, speed, performance, and privacy tools. To optimize and repair your PC, it includes a junk file remover that eliminates unnecessary files and a program crash cleanup.

The driver update tool also detects outdated drivers and effortlessly updates them. It includes a scan feature, a hub for managing updates, driver reports, and a quick way to create system restore points before updating drivers.

Regarding privacy, Fortect's app lets you remove browser cache and traces of Office Apps from the start menu to protect sensitive files and documents from bad actors.

Fortect's browser protection is one of the features of this solution that surprised us the most. Even though the browser extension is only available on Chrome, its number of features and customization options for your browser’s security, performance, and privacy are impressive.

For example, it includes:

• Downloads and website scan
• Suspicious website alerts
• Real-time data leak alerts
• Browser extension protection
• Push notification management (ad prevention, phishing scam blocker, and unwanted pop-ups disabler)
• Real-time session hijack protection

You get all this in a beautifully designed Chrome extension interface with a dashboard featuring an overview and shortcuts of each security feature.

Fortect is available for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Regarding usability, you’ll get a smooth and clean experience in aesthetically pleasing apps, regardless of platform.

This internet security suite‘s main capabilities are included in all apps, but some OS-exclusive features are only available on that operating system.

Fortect's pricing options are straightforward. There are three subscription tiers that share the same features and can only be purchased on annual billing cycles. The only difference between them is the number of supported devices. We’d like the company to offer monthly payment options since not everyone can commit to yearly subscriptions.

The cheapest plan is Essential, which allows users to install Fortect on one PC only, which works out as $2.82 per month. The Multi-device plan supports up to three devices and costs $3.49 per month.

Lastly, for $4.91 per month, you can choose the Ultimate plan, which adds support for two more devices, totalling five. Unfortunately, this means that tech-savvy users with more than five devices won’t have an option suitable for them. At the same time, considering the overall price of Fortect's PC suite, users can get pretty good deals with the company’s highly competitive rates.

You can try Fortect for free via its 24-hour free trial, including one full system scan. Although it’s a short demo, it’s still better than nothing. For those making a purchase, Fortect offers an exceptional 60-day money-back guarantee, granting you more time to evaluate this security suite’s capabilities.

For those requiring direct contact with the brand’s customer support, a contact form is available through the website or app. The feedback given to Fortect’s customer support quality is outstandingly positive, with many people praising its reliability, speed, and technically proficient agents. Even though there’s no live chat, you’ll usually get a quick reply, as was our case. Moreover, Fortect's Windows app includes an easy way to upload logs, which definitely helps streamline the customer support process.

Fortect's social media includes Facebook, X, and LinkedIn accounts.

One of the highlights of this software is the browser extension, which powers up the service with additional tools for PC protection. That said, in the future, we’d like to see monthly billing options and support for at least two devices on the cheapest plan, since most competitors already do this. Fortect's free trial lasts for one day only, but there’s still a 60-day money-back guarantee that covers your purchase for a long period.

Considering the balance between pricing and features, its drawbacks aren’t dealbreakers at all. We recommend Fortect for users on a budget who only need to protect a handful of devices.
