    I work in IT. We buy macs at best buy because they price match all the other big vendors and we can get devices locally. Despite me telling the blue shirt I didn't want this, he scanned it and put it in my bag. Now my best buy account keeps emailing me to activate it. No, thank you! Again, I say, no, thank you!

      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.

    The key we were given didn't work, so we weren't able to set it up on our new laptop. Not sure that's a bad thing, because this was just supposed to be good for six months. Anyway, it was free, so we got what we paid for. On the other hand, our Internet provider supplies antivirus software for free, so we're using that instead.

    Geek Squad installed this on my old computer. I replaced it. I didn't realize we had been charged for it until I got the receipt for the 2-year Geek Squad contract e-mailed to us. I couldn't seem to circumvent the blockages the system didn't deem as allowable. So I replaced it with the FREE Norton we get through Century Link.

    It has its pros and cons. On a non secure internet connection it is pretty useless.

    Something more practical would be a better freebee to add to a purchase of a computer. Maybe a free wireless mouse. There are much better security software programs out there. You get what you pay for. Don't rely on this stuff. This garbage certainly had no impact on the decision to make my computer purchase.

      Webroot is the lightest software to hit the security industry in years, we are technologically light years ahead of our competition regarding journaling and remediation of threats.  There are free programs out there definitely, however, sometimes, you get what you pay for.   We are confident that you will see such value in this solution and the security and peace of mind that it provides that you won’t think twice about the cost. Or think of it another way, it costs less than a cup of coffee or tea each day to keep your computer safe and you are still able to use it while surfing online! Webroot

      If I may start by mentioning our WIN Cloud http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php as all the work is done on there and not your PC also WSA only uses 3 to 6MB of RAM and up to 6 MB's on the Hard Drive for the Client and this is the future, it's here now! How can the other conventional AV's keep up with almost 500,000 new Malware everyday and over 142 million Malware in 2014 alone? Furthermore, Webroot has free Support as long as you have a subscription. Where as most other AV's don't have this! Webroot
