Customers are saying

Customers highly value Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security for its ease of installation, reliable virus protection, and overall performance without compromising their computer's speed. They appreciate that it comes free with certain purchases and offers satisfactory security features. However, some users have concerns about compatibility issues, potential slowdown of their computers, and the relatively short subscription length of six months.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    I bought a new desktop computer because my previous one was unfortunately stolen. I figured I needed a new one because my previous one was infected and running very slow. I didn't want that to be the case and so I bought this internet security from best buy....my computer is actually running slower than before. I am not too pleased with the system and should plan to take my computer to the geek squad!

      xtrmsuperman05,

      We apologize for the issues you are experiencing.

      I am not quite sure what you are referring to here. Webroot is an antivirus program, it is not a Web browser such as Chrome or Firefox, though we do protect browsing in those programs. We offer a secureweb browser but that is for mobile devices.

      If you are experiencing an issue with our product or if its is affecting your ability to browse, please contact our support team and we would be happy to assist.

      Hello,

      Please do not write a review for a product if you do not use it. It is impossible to write a review for a product you have never used. This is generally good practice and a common courtesy. It is also worth noting that F-Secure is subscription based, just like every other AV on the market.

      We hope you will reconsider using Webroot in the future.

      Regards,
      Webroot Webroot

    I haven't used it the 3 or 4 times I got it for free, as I usually have an active subscription, and it would be ok if you can install it after your current one expires, but it's only valid 6 months from purchase date. Not sure if product is good or bad, but definitely their customer approach is terrible.

      GeorgeF,

      Webroot is currently unlike any other AV on the market. We use a cloud based system that allows Webroot to not slow down the performance of your system.

      We would advise giving Webroot a shot and let us know if you ever have any questions. We are always happy to help!

      Manny,

      Webroot is unlike any other antivirus on the market. We are leading the way when it comes to cloud based detection and advanced heuristics as opposed to traditional databases. We would advise researching the product a bit more and give it a shot.
