    Already have Webroot protection on my system - was given free six month security key by Best Buy. Webroot could not incorporate the key to extend my subscription - told me to disable current key, and replace, then after six months reinstall old key, with all the advances today?#!$ Not good for this company.

      If you buy a new license while an existing one is still active, they can overlap. If you ever encounter this, I highly recommend reaching out to the Best Buy Assurance Program to see if they can freeze one until the other has run out. They can be reached at 1-800-433-5778. 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

    Purchased at Best Buy in Lafayette. Had issues coming out of the box with the computer and went to Champaign where the Geek squad fixed the computer but recommended something else but it had already been loaded getting up and ready. Inconsistent information was given from the salesperson from the Geek Squad.

    This came as a freebie with a computer I purchased or else I’d have been really ticked. When I tried to install it, it said it had already been installed. Several chats back and forth with them didn’t resolve the issue. I gave up and went with a company I’ve used before without any problems.

    This freemium AV product does not rate as well on AV comparatives and AV test like paid products like McAfee, etc. Also, make sure that you see if your PC you purchased already has a security subscription. The Best Buy rep is trying to push this product even if you might have AV already on the PC you bought.

    There are better products out there, misses more vulnerabilities than other products I have used. Installed on a Macbook and it didn't run right. I only used it because it was free with the laptop I purchased, I uninstalled it and am using Trend Micro.
