      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.

      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

      While Apple products do very well on their own for security, they are not invulnerable to threats. Webroot will still provide coverage for your Mac computer far beyond the stock anti-virus protections Apple has set up on MacOS. Webroot
