Webroot - Premium Antivirus Protection (10 Device) with Allstate Identity Protection (1 Identity) - Android, Apple iOS, Chrome, Mac OS, Windows [Digital]

The Webroot Premium Antivirus Software Is easy to use. It is compatible with the other antivirus software I have installed on my computer Bitdefender. It doesn't have easy displayed icons that can you navigate the software, but I believe if best buy sells the Product its great!

So reviewing antimalware is a drag because installing and uninstalling is a drag. I have a belief that a lot of virus and malware protection is a big drag on your system. That's also a drag. Well, Webroot Premium is a pretty fast package. Scans were fast, monitoring and bootup were fast, and install was lightning fast. I have tried quite a few packages and this is definitely one of the fastest I've tried. When you have fast antivirus, you sometimes wonder if it's working. I think that the browser protection definitely is working because it did block a few sites as possibly malicious. You can't be too careful! One of the better features of this package is the Allstate Identity Protection. You get the service for a year and it makes sure you are notified of identity theft and if it happens, they help you out. I thought it was a very easy to use service. it didn't take long to set up, and since it's run on the Webroot/Allstate servers, it's always working for you. I didn't encounter any theft while I was using it, but the interface on the site was pretty good. That's my only issue with this software. It's kind of ugly. I guess if you're interfacing with the software often, you're in a bit of trouble in terms of viruses and malware, but I think it should probably get a little facelift. I recommend this package because of its light touch on your system and fairly reasonable price!

This Webroot Premium with Allstate Identity Protection, is built to protect you and up to 10 of your devices for 1 year. Included in this premium suite of protection services are: A complete antivirus solution, proactive alerts via email or text, dark web protection, Social Security Number monitoring, full-service identification restoration services, and up to $500,000 in fraud expense reimbursement. The identity protection service by Allstate is very comprehensive. It includes financial monitoring, credit and debit card monitoring, drivers license monitoring, address monitoring, email address monitoring, birthdate and social security number monitoring, credit reporting and protection. The dark web protection and monitoring is essential for everyone. It also includes LastPass, which is a password bank that you can either enter into the application or import into the application from various sources, like internet browsers, other password banks, or a list. It was very easy to install and setup. It was also easy to view my credit score, get ideas and ways to improve my score and protect my credit. All-in-all, this is a great security suite that not only protects your devices, but protects your identity too. It’s a must have, especially in today’s society. I highly recommend!

Webroot never ceases to amaze me with the performance difference given from the top Anti-Virus and security providers. Right away, after removing Symantec from my machine I noticed a performance difference in my MacBook. Noting the install of the latest generation of Webroot, install was fast, initial scan was done, just finished up the system cleanup and drive verification with no positives at all. The system perfomance did not change at all during or after this install. The changes to the software have kept the user interface familiar and user friendly. The Dark Web protection is great as it scans for personal information that may be readily available to a possible intruder and identifies it for cleanup. Right away, it checked my passwords and foudn some that had been in previous security breaches that needed attention. These were ones missed when working through a prior security breach where my personal information had been leaked, older accounts no longer used. There are additional add-ons provided for the software to extend your security to the web broser, Google Chrome device, and mobile devices.

Webroot is a simple lightweight antivirus/malware protection software. However, this Premium + Identity Protection just adds more to it. Basically you get an added annual premium account to LastPass and a simplified version of Allstate’s Identity Protection. The SecureAnywhere software can be used on most systems, Windows, Mac, Chrome, Android, iOS and as a browser extension on Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Compared to other AV packages I have tried, this one has been the least intrusive as far as not popping up with advertisements for other packages or reminding me I should activate something. It was just installed and started protecting. Though it is simple, that is kind of a downfall to this package as well. Nothing seems to be well explained and even their tutorials page just gives steps on what to do but you have no idea what you are doing with it. The user interface just feels old, but it works, so I guess there's no need to add flashy buttons, but what is it doing? Even going through the advanced settings it is just a bunch of check boxes and no real details, like adding your own rules to the firewall. Example, the Utilities tab, you have ‘Optimize Now’ and ‘Run System Analyzer’. You have to run the analyzer first and it gives a report, but all you can do is save or close the report. So, guess you select ‘Optimize Now’ and then it runs and done. Now you are “optimized” with some amount of MB recovered. Yet, I run the analyzer again and have the similar warnings with no suggested on what to do with them. Then setting up the extra premium features, like Allstate Identity Protection and Last Pass are just redirects to their respective sites in which I had an issue with Allstate setup not finishing for me, so I could not enable all protections till that was resolved. But, there is no real detail on what to expect from either of these. It appears that you get a premium account of LastPass, but then says 1 of 10, so I guess you can have 10 unique accounts of LastPass premium. Which is nice for a family, but then why not have a family account where you can manage and share passwords with each other? Allstate Identity Protection, once you give it all the personal information like emails, SSN, credit card and account numbers claims it is monitoring and protecting, but does not appear to look back on anything. For example, I know for a fact one of my monitored emails has been compromised on the dark web, yet it shows as nothing detected. Literally 2 days after setting it up, I get a dark web warning from a different service I signed up for about a site leak with that same email. I’m not going to run my credit to see it that works, but I have a free service that has provided on the spot checks when that has happened before. Then you have the Carbonite for backup but that just redirects you to their site and plans. The software says “Included with your subscription” but the account site says “You do not currently have a backup subscription”. You try the trial for 15 days and it requires you to install additional software to use it anyways and the SecureAnywhere software still thinks you need a separate Carbonite login. Overall, if you don’t already have some identity protection set up, don’t have a good password manager, and need some simple virus protection on multiple devices, this isn’t a bad deal. For one, you are going to need Last Pass as you are going to end up creating a new account for each version of WebRoot as for some reason your Windows account won’t work on mobile and you need to set up secure passwords for everything else. I do like it being less intrusive than some of the other big brands, but it just doesn't seem so premium when you are just sent to a website that sends you to other sites.
