    I have used this software in the past which resulted in near catastrophic failure. The program seems to run, like a root kit, right after the BIOS fires up on boot. When it fails you lose access the operating system. Many hours to reset computer. I advise not using this product.

    It came with a surface pro. but would never accept the activation code when I was trying to set-up and install Webroot. I wasn't looking for another "project"....fortunately, I already had a license available from a already owned securty software and I was successful using that.

    But the PC did come with Windows 10 which has defender and built in protection so i didn't install this. If you are going to get antivirus software get nortons, although nortons can be a pain. There is also free software (panda antivirus) and Malware bytes for free. Just google those.

      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

      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.
      We do apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you.
