Free offer with the iPad Mini
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not sure why this was included as it appears to be just a 6 month trial. Didn't want it and actually ended up getting charged for it when I adjusted my order, so hassle to get that corrected. But of course Best Buy took care of it. I am sure others will find this bonus useful, just not for me.

Don't bother
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let's be honest, Best Buy crams this stuff down our throats for "free" when we purchase any new computer but it's never worth the money they actually charge. Installed it once and it continuously crashed. Immediately uninstalled it and threw it away, which I've done every time I get a new disk since. Ask them to keep it in the store so you don't have to do the same.

Posted .Hello,
We apologize for the issues you have experienced. If you installed Webroot and then the computer crashed it likely means you have corruption on your hard drive, or there was a pre existing infection causing issues with the system. For an issue such as this its best to reach out to Geek Squad or our support team for assistance.

Meh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't care for the web root program, it seemed to work but idk
No, I would not recommend this to a friendprefer avast, free antivirus protection unlimited.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I dont like to get caught over a antivirus that will end in a year, and i will have to pay to renew it, there is very diferent type of attacks and most of them need the knowledge of the user not to get infected in a song that has an extention .exe or .com, that is not a song but a program. So i would not recomend paid services when antivirus comes. Thank you.

Posted .Hello,
Webroot works unlike any other antivirus on the market. Most Antivirus programs do not need the user to prevent an infection on their machine, that would not be a very good anti virus if it did. There are also no infections that have a .com file extension. It is advisable to use a premium antivirus as they also offer support for their programs.
I was told by HP the webroot infected my computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, when I peeled the sticker to get the access code, the number on the label ripped and it was illegible. I had to go back to the store and have them give me a print out of the code. Then after downloading it my windows crashed. I was told by a level 2 HP technician that webroot caused malware and viruses to erase my windows. I returned the computer and webroot for a refund.
