    Opened my computer that I had left on Facebook, FLASHING blue square saying my computer had been hacked and to call this phone number, I did ( freaking out ) and got Webroot. After talking briefly, I ended up paying $500 for their security. HOW DID THEY KNOW ABOUT MY COMPUTER BEING HACKED IN THE FIRST PLACE??? I am Not a geek, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

    I would give half star if possible. We have used Webroot since 2015, no issues. Sometime during 2022, without notice or permission, has charged the account 199.99 for the same service without lawful permission and zero communication. Additionally, we no longer have access to our account after forgetting the password, no longer having the same number. We will be canceling and purchasing another product. VERY VERY upset LONGTIME customer. May have to call a lawyer. DON'T GET THE PRODUCT.

      The supervisor refunded past duplicate charges and closed the duplicate account. All resolved at tier two support.

      Original Review: Jan. 17, 2022

      When the Geek Squad installed a new hard drive, they also offered me a new discounted Webroot membership. They did not terminate my previous membership active since 2014. The company refuses to refund 2 duplicate charges caused by their employee not completing the merger/closure of my previous membership.

      In reading several bad reviews, I am pleased that I am not the only one. I kept on getting a popup to renew, yet I have Total Tech Support through Best Buy which includes Webroot. Since I paid due to the popup $152.75 I want my money refunded. I have made a request on 9/25 and then on 10/2. They seem to refuse to give me my refund. If they don't respond and give me my refund in the next day or two, I will have to call my credit card and block them from charging me in the future. This is the worst company I have dealt with. I like the protection, but I don't need 2 services. I requested the refund within 1 hour of purchase (**). I might have to call the Attorney General as well.

      I was properly auto-billed on a Webroot antivirus product I was no longer using. I called the company, explained the situation, and the charge was immediately reversed - no questions, no hassle, very professionally handled.

      I have been very impressed by Webroot for my laptop protection, so much that I renewed for another year. They give you the ability to watch in real time the number of intrusive and questionable invasions they are stopping. It has never slowed down my speed, nor have I ever had a problem.

      Not the easiest to set up and monitor. I’m still not sure I have it correctly or if it’s running at all. I’m an example of a not so technical kind of guy but can get around pretty good on my devices. Have used other services and was able to understand them much easier.

      Best Buy recommended it, but now I have paid for it without a download. Recommend any other but Webroot. TERRIBLE! I have owned many computers over 30 plus years. Never had such a problem. I had a membership with Best Buy Geek Squad and bought it through it. Now Webroot requires I pay $200 membership with tech support to get Webroot. IT IS A SCAM. I am contacting the Attorney General, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Yelp, and Better Business Bureau.
