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.

      It is a regular practice in the Security Industry to retain customers through a Subscription based service typically also involving automatic renewal. Keep in mind also that the "Free" Antivirus that you are more than likely referring to may not be as completely free as you originally thought:

    I received the software with my last computer purchase. It has some nice features but it doesn't do everything that I wanted to do. It notified me of a Potential Threat and then the Norton Antivirus software is what found the virus that would have locked me out of my computer. Not impressed and not renewing.

    Less than impressed. Within 1st hour and 3Rd fix of it loaded had malware pop up slowing me down. Software Scans were negative and rescanned multiple times. Some people loves this, but I thought old AVG was just as good. Have spent hundreds of dollars for system clean up (3 times). Very expensive for such a headache.

      SquirrelMonkey,

      Popups are rarely if ever caused by legitimate malware. Those are generally potentially unwanted applications or scams where fake tech support tries to charge you for assistance. Webroot offers free support for all of our products, so if you are really infected, we will remove it for you free of charge. Webroot

    One of the Best

    My dads girlfriend purchased a computer package about 2 and a half years ago and I was with her when she bought the package, this came with it and when I set up her computer and installed this I was amazed of how well it worked on her computer and this was with Windows 8 and since it was available for 3 devices for 6 months I asked her if I could install it on my computer as well which had Windows 7 Home Premium and it was a Lenovo which was also bought from Best Buy and I found it worked well for me to, so after 6 months was up, I started purchasing the year subscriptions, I bought one in November of 2013, then in December 2014 and then I bought another one in September to install on my laptop in a few weeks, but by far this has been the best for the last 2 and a half years and will continue purchasing for all of my laptops in the years to come

    Issue with Packaging and Installation

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

    The product does not come with a very good package because when you try to remove the sticker to find the key, it damages the key. I had to call customer care to fetch the new key. While installing, the machine hanged and webpage asked me to call up Microsoft customer care. So, I kind of did not like the product

      The message trying to get you to contact "Microsoft" is an illegitimate message and is caused by Potentially Unwanted Software.

    I purchased a nice new computer and this software was tossed in for free. The problem is that it comes on an install DVD but the computer has no DVD drive. In this day and age many computers are sold without dvd drives, it would make more sense for them to make it a down-loadable program or even to put it on a flash drive instead.
