PCLive will also check for the latest Microsoft Windows updates that haven't yet been applied to your PC. For a mere $4.95 a month, PCLive Premium Security includes all the basic PCLive Security along with Web content filtering, parental controls, disk maintenance and 24/7 live technical support. SecurityCoverage also offers users of their free PCLive service instant 24/7 technical support for a flat fee of $49.95 per session.
