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 bought a Windows 10 tablet/laptop. There is no DVD on the computer, and plugging in an external DVD doesn't work, since the USB port doesn't provide enough current to power the drive. I tried installing from my desktop DVD shared drive, but get an error that it needs to be installed from a connected drive.

    This was a "forced option" in that it came with the Dell laptop I purchased. I spoke with several family members/friends who are into computer technology about it because I had never heard of it. No one had anything good to say. Went with another well known web security product. I would have rather not been forced to take.
