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.

Not the best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have found better internet security software...
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from WebrootTeam
Posted .Webroot is the lightest software to hit the security industry in years, we are technologically light years ahead of our competition regarding journaling and remediation of threats. There are free programs out there definitely, however, sometimes, you get what you pay for. We are confident that you will see such value in this solution and the security and peace of mind that it provides that you won’t think twice about the cost. Or think of it another way, it costs less than a cup of coffee or tea each day to keep your computer safe and you are still able to use it while surfing online!
Does anyone use these anymore?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's nice that it comes with computer, but I'm never sure it helps
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from WebrootTeam
Posted .Hello,
Yes, plenty of customers choose Webroot and that number continually grows. You should never even know its there until a threat is detected and removed.
Not a big fan.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Webroot is okay but some of the free services are just as good.

Hate it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The code was scratched off already so I couldn't upload program
No, I would not recommend this to a friendzero defense power against hackers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely zero defense power against hackers. I have experienced a string of attacks by hackers after I installed web root. It did nothing, absolutely nothing to protect my laptop. My device crushed and I lost all the software I installed. The monetary losses put aside, I lost a lot of valuable files.

Macs are susceptible to malware just like a PC and increasingly so. We advise installing a security program to keep your Mac safe. If you are unable to install it would be best to reach out to Geek Squad or our support team for assistance.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON YOUR COMPUTER!!!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you do and you decide to uninstall it, you will get the blue screen of death and your computer will not work anymore. I'm taking it to the Geek Squad tomorrow, March 16th to see if they can fix it. This was the security program pushed by Best Buy and the Geek Squad member.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from WebrootTeam
Posted .Hello John,
installing Webroot on your Computer should not cause your System to start any slower. It could be caused due to other Processes in your Startup causing the boot sequence to take longer.

Posted .Hello,
When receiving the product from Best Buy you must install it immediately. The product begins counting down days when it is activated in store as stated on the front of the box. We advise installing it immediately so you receive the full amount of time for your product.
