    That's how you know it's working, right? When you can't tell it's working? I installed it and haven't heard a thing from the program since, so,..., good?

    Tried to Install with no results, had to have my device remote accessed, still with no results. Ended up wiping my laptop and going with another program

    Told to purchase by sales assoc.

    Sales assoc. highly recommended to purchase the security software but it could not be loaded onto the Chromebook we purchased at the same time. Took it to Best Buy's Geek squad and they said Chromebooks do not have enough room for the security software to be uploaded. Just maybe the Best Buy Geek squad should communicate to sales assoc. before unnecessary purchases are recommended to customers.

    I'm not sure about this product. It came free with my computer purchase. Upon installation tries to sell you other products so it seems like a marketing ploy.

    I got this free with the laptop deal. I installed & used for a few month to bridge the Norton antivirus software. It does what it says will do. So far so good.

    OK for a freebie, but not enough security for me!

    Even Macs are now exposed to some malware issues, so I would rather use more comprehensive software to prevent the grief that comes with cyberattacks, etc.

    It says all websites are safe, when I know that they are not. When I open a website it lets me know after the fact that I opened a link that Im at risk.

    Does it Work?

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

    I bought a ProMac for a friend in college. I also got the Webroot program when I bought my own HP laptop. Is this a trial use for 30 days, or do you actually get a 1-3 year subcription? Because I cannot get the webroot program to work from the website even though it says I can use it on 3 devices for at least a year. It worked for a month...but if I am going to have to buy it now becuase I didn't actually get the program, then I will shop around or run Microsoft Defender.

    Not a bad security program, not the best either, what can I say, they give it to you for free when you buy a computer.

    First time using this, so it's too early to give my opinion on it to be honest. But it came with the laptop when I bought it, so I can't really complain.

    this came with my husband's new desktop. Didn't install though-- he is a loyal Norton customer. Sorry, I don't know how well this works compared to Norton.

    I have used Webroot for Windows several years ago. I was not that impressed, because it was a resource hog. I will see how it works out on an iMac

    I installed it on a few devices but I still get viruses. Don't really know how to use it or how to remove the viruses. Hopefully, you can figure it out.

    What I don't like is that the one year subscription started when I bought it, not when I installed it. I already have a subscription that has some time left.
