    This purchase deleted 180+ viruses off my computer. However, it still doesn't run very fast and lags pretty bad. Don't know if it's the geek squad/web root package, or the HP computer.

    The only time I get this is because it comes along with a new computer. Useless to me, but could be useful for others. It does its job but costs too much for what little it does.

      Dennis, Webroot SecureAnywhere has been given the Editors' Choice by PC Magazine and is consistently rated against the top competitors in the industry. Keep in mind that all vendors included in The Best Antivirus Protection of 2017 list are paid services.

    Perhaps you can skip this. Best buy professionals do not recommend this on Mac. Watch out for 6 month subscription period and auto-renewal of subscription at higher price.

    This software is okay because it is free. We actually had a pop up virus/malware thing the day after installing and went another direction. If you use this, have a backup.

    When I got this item, I thought I could use it to extend my current Webroot subscription. Evidently, Webroot and Best Buy are two different versions that don't support each other.

    obviously not meant to.. If Best Buy wants to make a purchaser happy, we should get a CHOICE of add on so we might choose spmething more useful to the individual buying...

      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.

    Don't use it, for reasons below.

    This came for free with the computer that i bought (you can read my really great review of that computer). I work in a very complicated industry where computer security is very much controlled, and have a brother that manages computer security for nuclear weapons. Both my company and my brother have strong opinions on what to use on personal computers for security. I use their suggestion. I will not use this product, although for all I know, it might be enough for other home users. I'd think about it though.

    Why add more protection when you have an outstanding application from Microsoft. If you want added protection, there are plenty of free alternatives like AVAST.

    Webroot security is functional, but there are better products available. This was included for free with the purchase of my Surface Book. I guess you get what you pay for.
