    This antivirus uses way to much system resources and slows down the computer. It comes with every computer you buy from BestBuy and I just throw them out now. I use Eset nod32. Wish BestBuy would too. It has very little effect on the OS and does 3 times as much.

    Webroot Effectiveness in question

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    WebRoot was included installed when I bought my ASUS Laptop. It never appeared to detect any Virus or Malware issues for the 3 months in operation, so I have no idea that it ever provided the protection it stated. Therefore, I did NOT extend the contract.

      Kenny, Webroot's threat analysis engine catches over 6.4 million malware threats daily.

    This software was included in the price of a HP laptop, so it cost nothing extra. it is worth exactly that, nothing. It does not detect any issues. It says all is ok but yet my computer is very slow, the speakers don't work and my laptop operates poorly.

    I was told by two different sources that Webroot was not good and not compatible to Windows 10 and that could have been why I got a virus soon after the purchase of my new laptop. It cost me money to get rid of virus and to deinstall Webroot!

    I was "required" to purchase this antivirus software when I had my laptop cleaned. Was told I didn't need it and not to load it as I had a better antivirus program already. Can't sell it and don't need it but had to buy it--this doesn't seem right.

    This program is junk. Use AVG instead. Depending on your needs you can either use the free version, or buy a copy of the premium version and install on all your machines. Can even control remotely.

    This was placed in my bag at purchase and I was told to check it out. I had no interest so of course I didn't. Come to find out they sign you up for the product and an auto-renewal without telling you. You have no way of knowing it's coming. Crooked.
