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). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    I prefer Norton over this product. Tends to interfere with downloads and I am not sure when it updates.

    Not a big fan of Webroot. This internal security had great reviews but it wasn't my cup of tea.

    After installation on a new pc, I got a virus in like 2 days -- searching the web, that virus has always stayed with my pc. I had to go through the geek squad, over the phone and they finally, got a new set up homepage for me. This root thing is junk. The price reflects its quality - stay away from this one...

    I have a Mac and have NEVER needed any anti-virus protection, etc. I was given three copies of this with purchases, and have had a difficult time even giving them away... The software probably works okay, but the trae off for a slower machine is not worth it when there are other applications for PCs out there that are far, far better...

      With the success of Apple's iPhone and Mac in the 2000's, threats on a Mac are more common today than ever before. For issues with slowness, it is recommended to set your scheduled scans for when you won't be using the Computer:

      pickledbutcher,

      Webroot will not remove anything on your computer without permission. You must click continue for the threats to be removed. If Webroot has deleted something you did not want it to, please reach out to Geek Squad or our support team for assistance. Webroot
