    I had received it for free when I bought the computer new about 2 years prior but it expired and they wanted money to renew it. It was pretty high and I could not afford it, so I switched to Windows Defender for free.

    This is my first time using the software and it does a good job protecting me from any attacks. I chose this software because it was the better price compared to others. And for the price I paid it was well worth it. It has a malware protection and it protects me from malicious websites and files aimed at stealing my information. But Webroot could still do a better job given that it does not detect all malicious websites and files. So I have a second software that is free installed on my computer to detect what my realtime software does not detect.

    My experience with the Webroot AntiVirus software was very satisfactory. I was really blown away by how well it did its job in protected my computer from viruses and potential malware or ransomware. I felt like I was getting top dollar security. I like how easy Webroot AntiVirus was to setup. It was a cinch not complicated like some other anti viruses software I had used in the past where you had to do a ton of things beforehand just to install the anti virus software on your computer. Webroot has made it very easy that a computer novice could install this anti virus software with little to no assistance needed. Webroot is very efficient in the way it targets viruses and get rid of them. I was blown away at how fast it would target something suspicious on my computer and ask me if I would like to get rid of it. It was like my own personal bodyguard but for my computer.

    My dad suggested Webroot secure anywhere because of the cross platform antivirus protection. It not only protected from viruses but also spyware and malware. I love that you can put it on multiple cross platform devices such as computers tablets and even android and Apple phones. But best of all it catches all the viruses coming in. However, I dislike that everyday a popup comes up asking me to upgrade and that after I upgrade it tells me how long I have till I need to upgrade again.

    Webroot was very good at sussing out spyware and attempted browser hijacks - which are the most annoying, and how many malware programs (like spambots and even ransomware) then get into your computer. I don't like the trend in current software to make all the UI look like it's a tablet app. The majority of us don't have touchscreen computers. Microsoft wants you to design that way but hey, information density is KING. Give me resizeable windows and the abilty to see lots of data on screen at once without wasted whitespace. I last used this AV in 2015. I found others to be superior. My current antivirus is Avira. Webroot was good, but then something better came along. I always look at the antivirus testing websites and then pick one from the top 3 or 4 that have the best multi computer license price.

Webroot tells me if I am having any problems downloading a program and if it’s going to cause me any issues. I like the tech support and how it alerts me with problems immediately. The tech support is 24 hours a day and they solve most of our problems. If they don't, they send it off for us so that it can be fixed. They also help us by phone or online teleconference. I consider them very efficient and knowledgeable. But sometimes you have to wait online for a while before you get helped. The face they put on is the face they give.

    The employee at Best Buy strongly recommended Webroot AntiVirus. I trusted him to make a good recommendation, and so I followed his opinion rather than going with a brand whose name I was familiar with. Webroot AntiVirus was the cheapest in its category. It can detect a virus/malware as soon as it is downloaded to the computer, and then removes it and rescans the computer. It also scans every day at certain times. I don't even know it's at work as it is so fast and quiet. I have to call Geek Squad from time to time though because it doesn't control malware very well but it seems to have done a good job thus far. I've never lost any data.

    Webroot is low cost and the impact on my computer running is very little. This is a key factor picking this product. There are many programs out there that are way bulky and slow your system down. I chose this application because it seemed very streamline and did not impact the operating system. But, they try to keep selling or pushing programs I do not want or need. I hate pop up unless there is an issue.

    I get the Webroot AntiVirus as part of my Geek Squad so not only do I get virus protection but repairs with my purchase. This makes it easy to protect my computer while I visit various web sites especially the many surveys that I do. Because of the addition of Geek Squad there is nothing I need in for this antivirus software. But I would like to understand how these anti virus software works and what else I can do to protect my computer. I know very little about antivirus software except that you need to have it to protect your computer. For me the best thing is not only is a great antivirus software it comes with Geek Squad so you can call them to fix any problems.

    Webroot AntiVirus was the best one by all the media at that point in time. I also trust the FixMeStick or what it's called was created by a college student for his Mom. That right there indicates to me that he is ethical and will deliver on removing the bad stuff. But it's been a while since I used any of them mentioned. I quit using it because I felt that it was slowing down my laptop as well as I didn't feel that it ever found anything, but other sites did. I would love to try the FixMeStick and I prefer the idea of removing it physically is better than it going to where? Space? Don't allow it to slow down the device and have better CSP-ones that live in the USA so that communication is easier. I am one that will ask where they are located. If overseas, I politely request that they transfer me to an USA CSR. Only once did a guy start verbally assaulting me via the phone.

    We generally prefer folks to review us based on our product's performance as opposed to this "FixMeStick" you are referring to. If you are suggesting that Webroot was slowing down your computer, then I highly suggest you work with our direct customer support team, based entirely here in Broomfield, CO. We can be reached at 1-866-612-4227. It is highly unlikely Webroot is impacting your system's performance, so if you can reach out to us we will be more than happy to look into it and verify.

    My software experience with Webroot was effortless. I chose this software due to a promo with buying a computer. I didn't have to do a lot to install the software as Webroot installs itself when entering the product key on a website. It's very light on computer use. I like the product package design and color scheme. But they could make it more effective and less expensive on a yearly basis. I try to avoid buying antivirus software when possible because it's so expensive. Also I am unsure how effective the software is because the product doesn't have any clear statements.

    The Webroot AntiVirus does the best job of scanning out the viruses. It was first installed by my son in law as he always used it and had very good results. It was very reliable and there were very few problems that I ever experienced when something questionable has come through. But as soon as I detected a problem I would contact them and they would immediately fix the problem. And although it is a little expensive, I would certainly recommend it to others who are looking for a good program. I was very satisfied with the Webroot AntiVirus.

    Webroot AntiVirus is quite inexpensive and very effective. The dashboard was intuitive and easy to operate. It cleaned virus from my hard drive quickly and thoroughly. It took only ten minutes to eradicate the infected files. However, downloads could go faster. They took several minutes over a digital subscriber line and sometimes took nearly half an hour to update the software. It also took three tries to get everything updated. Nevertheless, Webroot AntiVirus is an affordable solution to a virus issue I was having with Windows 8. Once the software was updated it cleaned the virus from my drive and deleted all affected files.

    I get this software as an incentive to have a account with Ally Bank and it's completely free. They don’t make you have large deposits either. This saves me at least $70 per year over Norton. Also, the software offers decent protection. I do not generally visit risky sites anyways so it works out. I have no complaints with their software unless it was to say it blocked a virus occasionally or show that it was updating from time to time and sometimes I wonder if it’s on.

    I downloaded Webroot and installed it (with a free 14-day trial). I set it up and started to use it. Then I needed to sign back into the website (which requires a password and a PIN). The site wouldn't take my password and locked me out. I got an error message and sent it to support because it wouldn't let me change my password to get in. "Support" would just keep sending me the same password to use to log in and that password didn't work either, ever, locking me out. THEN I see a charge in my bank for my "free" service. So 3 days into my attempt to use Webroot I had to contact "support" to tell them if they couldn't get me into my account today and return my money ASAP I would be leaving immediately.

    They ignored that message for 2 days and only apologized, no help to get access to the site or a refund. I cancelled the service immediately because the replies throughout just gave me the feeling this was a scam and when they charged my account 11 days early I knew it was a scam. Now every day I get a request from my system from Webroot Installer to make changes to my hard drive. I say no and then hunt for that installer software on my computer. It isn't there anywhere. I am a super techie and if it were hidden I would find it so NOW Webroot has given me a special little virus to deal with.

    I will have to reset my computer to factory settings tonight and see if that takes care of this dribble left on my system by this very, very, unprofessional SPAM, virus spreading company. BTW, had to dispute the charge to my account because Webroot refused to refund even though they have a, what is it, 60-day guarantee! Stay away from this fraudulent scamming company and their virus spreading software!!!! I am now using Bitdefender and having not one issue so far and my free trial is actually FREE!!!!

    Webroot AntiVirus is easy to use and gives me immediate warning of dangerous websites. I then can know when to surf safely. I also can see a report of what each scan finds in my system and what information has been quarantined. The software operated efficiently in the background and only notifies me when I am in dangerous territory and it doesn't seem to have any glitches. I also like that the program notifies me by email when it is time to renew rather than like McAfee which holds your computer hostage by unending popups. I had Mc Afee software and when I updated this software installed I was informed that it was not compatible with my operating system. I was unable or unwilling to pursue the matter till I got my refund so I simply uninstalled the program and installed the new program and have not had any difficulties since then.

    I've been using Webroot going on six years now after it was recommended to me by a friend who's a software developer. I love this program and would (And have!) recommended it to friends and family. It uses minimal system resources, very user-friendly, scans very quickly. Good bang for your buck. What more could you ask for?

    I've used it for years and have never seemed to have issues with protection. However there is an issue when one purchases a new key code rather than renew. Often you can find the software on sale as being less expensive than the renewal price they force on you. But when you add the new key code the old ones stick around so you end up with a console for every key code you have ever purchased. And unfortunately it seems the customer cannot simply remove the old key codes. I think it's sort of a pain that a customer has to contact Webroot to remove old, useless, expired key codes rather than letting the customer declutter their account on their own of the products they have purchased.

    I have had this program in my last two laptops. It installs fast and is up and running as soon as it is done. The renewal process is just as easy as the original install. When there is malware suspected the pop up occurs and can be quarantined quickly. At start up it is running and there is no lag time as I have experienced with other programs and when the program is coming towards its renewal it does not shut you down and prohibits you from signing on until you renew, as another program did to me. The options are easy to operate and quick scans are fast and the price for renewal is within fair market price structure. I will renew again in the 2018 year without any hesitation.

    As an older computer user, with little training, but I do install modded cars and tracks into various racing and truck driving games. With Webroot I feel better about installing these into my computer. I have never had any problems, if I go to a site to get a mod and Webroot tells me there is a problem, I don't go there. It tells me quite clearly if the site is dangerous. Plus my computer runs smooth and quickly, none of that slowdown some similar programs will give you. I have never had a problem, even when I take a look around in porn sites, I feel pretty safe. I have only had one time where I went somewhere like that that triggered an alert, and I left quickly and unscathed.

Webroot runs quietly in the background and does not bother you with a lot of popups and approval queries. The scans are the fastest I have experienced and my computer performance is not compromised. The dashboard that controls it is easy to navigate and use. The secure anywhere suite has many useful features including a password manager and 25GB of backup for important documents etc. I relied on the reviews to pick this security suite and I wouldn't recommend it if it hadn't performed as promised and I have no reservations in recommending it to others.

    Our company recently purchased Webroot and several of us installed it onto our work computers and home rigs. The new security has interfered with various software that is used daily. I tried contacting the company and no one has responded. This is frustrating as you would think someone would be available to troubleshoot the product, but apparently, you have to try to source answers on your own with other frustrated end-users. I just want it uninstalled and my rig restored. BTW, do not purchase Norton either. It is useless and troublesome as well.

    Super efficient and never slows down the computer. But downside is the WRDATA directory which should be megabytes but goes to gigabytes. Have worked with support about 5 times to lower it but still GB. Messed up my LastPass installation and replaced it with their own PW manager without asking. Really angry about this. Their backup software really doesn't work which makes it a dangerous feature. But the anti-virus seems great.

    I have been with Webroot about 3 years now for all of the PCs in my house. They have the very best customer service and provide the best protection of all of the antivirus and PC security systems available. I have never had a virus get through Webroot but it did happen with other brands, and when it did the other brands then wanted me to pay again to remove the virus their inferior product let on my PC. Webroot scans are fast and easy and they work. I highly recommend Webroot as the best PC security and anti-virus product available.

    I love it for Windows! Small footprint, fast, dependable. Good and responsive support when needed (for false alarm checks for example). Highly recommended for Windows. However the multi-license (5 in my case) also covers my Android phone. There it seems in need of development, there seems to be no real time protection, only possibilities for manual initiated searches. On the other hand that seems to be the case for all Webroots competitors as well!? I wonder who will be the first with a level of protection for the mobile phones that is on par with the protection of Windows?

    I acquired Webroot several years ago free with TurboTax and have used it with Windows versions XP, 7 and 10 with no problems. It rates websites from suspicious to safe when using the Yahoo search engine but not DuckduckGo or not recognized by Microsoft Edge. In the past Webroot also has identified malware not recognized by other products according to my tech support person.

    I purchased Webroot for my security needs in June 2017 and I must say, I have never been so happy with any other security product ever!! Webroot is absolutely fantastic. It does everything I need and then some. It is quick as can be, does not conflict with anything on my PC or my Android phone. I placed it on my Dad's laptop and cleaned his huge mess up and he too, was and is very impressed, that alone, is something that never happens, with a stuck in his ways, very older "Scottish man"!!!!

    Not only does Webroot do what it says, but it is very affordable as well. I was completely shocked that its cost was as low as it was and it does all that it does!! I never hesitate to recommend it to my friends and others and will continue to do so. When my year subscription is due, there will be no hesitation at all, to renew. What a FANTASTIC PRODUCT!

    A couple of reasons why I like this software: 1. Cost for both IMac and Apple laptop is very cost effective. 2. Downloading was simple and easy to complete. 3. With Cox cable, MacAfee was only available for download on certain days, and at a much higher annual cost. 4.

    I had my first computer in 1987, a 8088 processor running Dos 3.0. I go to computer shows and have built several computers from the ground up. I have been around the block and then some. I have used every security package out there over the past 30 years. NOTHING compares with Webroot, period. McAfee and Symantec are bloatware. Kaspersky somewhat better. For a while I liked ESET but some recent test results bothered me.

    Webroot is the lightest and fastest security package out there. I have been using Webroot on my 5 computers (yes I'm a computer nut) for the past two and a half years. They have a Webroot community forum like I have never seen. The one time I called tech support on the phone it was answered on the fourth ring by a technician that answered my question immediately. Their tech support is like no other. Their cloud based software is like no other. They are different from other security packages and because they don't behave like the rest of the pack some of the testing is skewed. It is ICSA lab certified. Last year PC magazine wrote a review where the writer said "Webroot knocked my socks off" and went on to give the software a glowing review. Sept. 2017 yet another great review from IGN. If you have read this far know this: You should be using Webroot.

    They advertise protection for up to 5 devices including iOS/Apple products. But it's a scam. Apple does not allow third party virus protection. It has that already built in its products. What Webroot offers Apple products is sync and back up (which you already get with iCloud or Google for free) and secure web browser which is also free in App Store. It's a big scam. Do not buy this product under any circumstances... Their reviews are paid for by a company that charges to get positive reviews... When I called for a refund I was prompted to email refund@webroot.com. Or something like that which lets an automated system refund my money. I guess too many people want a refund they can't afford live operators to handle all the complaints. Cheers. Call a computer fix company and get their advice on spyware. But DO NOT BUY THIS. IT'S FRAUD.

    I purchased Webroot Secure Anywhere in June 2016. Having used other Internet Security Suites by other companies, (Kaspersky, and Trend Micro), I found nothing wrong with either, with the exception of constant 'upsell' reminders. When the Geek Squad representative asked me to consider trying Webroot, I thought, "Why not, they all serve the same purpose!" Well, not only did Webroot prove to be simple and straightforward, they also proved to be 'no pressure' by not immediately trying to offer improved versions or extensions. They simply stated that my subscription is good through a certain date and they keep me informed of my status and steer me away from potential malware sites. I love the simplicity and straight honest delivery of what's promised. I will continue as a Webroot customer and recommend them whenever asked. Thank you so much for delivering, as promised, security for my computers.
