      Sam, 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.

      Aria, Webroot SecureAnywhere has been given the Editors' Choice by PC Magazine and is consistently rated against the top competitors in the industry. Keep in mind that all vendors included in The Best Antivirus Protection of 2017 list are paid services.
