    I would personally recommend just using antivirus software from one of the big boys. Neat free product for those who don't want to spend a few bucks keeping thousands of dollars worth of electronics and personal identity safe though...

    I m not really sure what it does except the salesman said it's a good thing to have and there is just empty packaging to make you think that you bought something so my environments sensibilities were offended too after I got it home and looked at it.

      It is typically advisable to completely discard software you don't plan on using, as a product should be reviewed for its' efficacy with a well-rounded point of view.
      We do apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you.

      Please reach out to Best Buy directly to receive your feedback on the packaging.

    I have used Webroot before on my home computer and liked it but don’t like the mobile version for the iPad. I thought it would give all around protection but only works on their search engine. Not going to keep the subscription

    I'm new to this product. I'm not sure yet if I like it or not. It's saying I'm protected but it does an awfully fast scan compared to my old product which seems like it scanned longer and more items. But I will give it my trust so far.

      When the Webroot agent scans the system, it will look in all areas where malware is likely to hide such as the temporary and windows folders. It does not scan the entire system because the real-time shield will block any suspicious file that attempts to execute.

    I initially installed it on my new Surface Pro 2017. It bogged it down significantly, despite the awesome processor that my Surface has. I uninstalled it after two days and installed McAfee. Works much better now.

    Mobile part not useful

    The mobile offer for an iPhone was only to download a browser app and you're supposed to only surf the internet from there. It's not having an anti-virus software scan all your traffic on the phone, and it's not very useful.

      Apple controls the Security of their mobile devices through their built-in system updates. They have not given Developers the ability to make a file scanning app for iPhones or iPads.

    The Web Root Virus did not detect a virus, which allowed the virus to infect my computer system. After scanning for viruses, the webroot virus protection indicated that there were no detection of any viruses and that was not so.

    One year subscription to protect computer from something, idk it didn't do anything but slow the computer down and scan for threats. It was a 6 hour process to put onto my new computer. Apparently my computer came with McAfee installed and wouldn't let Webroot install. IT had to uninstall McAfee and then install Webroot and it took way longer than it should and I am suspicious that they did something to mess up my day old computer because it didn't work right afterwards and the screen blacks out randomly now during use.
