    Nothing I dislike more than receiving emails reminding me to install software that I didn't ask for.

      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.

    When I bought a couple of new laptop computers from Best Buy they threw in a trial subscription for Webroot antivirus software. It turned out this software was worth less than what I paid for it - NOTHING! Had problems with it and went back to using the tried and true Kaspersky SW. Should have saved myself the trouble of loading and removing the Webroot SW!

    NOT a 1-year subscription

    I bought this in July and was told this was a 1-year subscription. When I downloaded it and looked at the account information, it said it expires in January of the following year. That only provides me with a half year of protection. If I knw this was just for the year 2018, I would not have gotten it and gone with something else.

    This antivirus program came with my computer purchase. I am unfamiliar with this program and already had an unlimited copy of McAfee so I used that. I cannot recommend this program since I did not try it. My overall rating is low for the same reason. I would rather have had the opportunity to refuse the program in favor of a discount on the computer.

    I used this software and found that my new computer started to have issues immediately following the installation. I had pop ups, severely damaged files (when I just took it out of the computer out of the box) and a bad headache. I ended up returning the computer and getting a better product. I wish you success if you get this product.

    Holding computer hostage

    So. I took my son’s laptop to a computer specialist. And he said, ‘I didn’t install this because this was very sketchy.. companies like this will hold your laptop hostage if you do not renew THEIR security ‘ and you know he is right. I wasted $50 but learned a great lesson! Get your security FREE and BETTER thru AT&T as a customer!!
