    Years ago we got nailed with viruses as it did not do what it said it would. so since then have not used it. Sorry but just telling you the truth. We are just not willing to risk it anymore, and we use to use it exclusively. We have better service with the free virus software out there and all I will say it starts with a P. Web-root your competition is beating you step up your game.

      Missey, 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.

    I purchased a computer for my father. It came with Webroot for free. Which I declined. I never installed it, I never activated it, I never registered it. HOWEVER, I get a notice from my credit card company 6 months later that I am going to be charged for my automatic renewal of this product. You will need to go into your subscriptions and turn it off.
