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.

    I was giving web root from best buy and the installation code didn't work. I called and emailed and getting help was impossible. I just got stupid tips like "don't confuse 8 with B" which I didnt. When push came to shove they wanted me to pay or hire geek squad. BS

    Received free with purchase of new laptop. Against my better judgment, I installed it. Had nothing but problems. Guess that's why they give it away. If you receive one free, don't install it.

    THIS UNSAFE WORLD NEEDS INTERNET SECURITY

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

    This "Webroot SecureAnywhere" product is offered to allegedly protect our internet devices and defend us from this unsafe world where there are so many dangers as malware, hackers, etc. There are numerous internet security firms offering similar protection, seemingly almost as many firms as there are devices. Some firms cost less, most are within this price range, and a couple are available at a considerably higher price. Whether these internet security firms do actually defend our devices is something I would not want to learn the hard way. However, realistically, as we repeatedly hear, even the banks and corporations and our government agencies cannot obtain adequate defenses from hacking, etc. While this may be purchased directly from "Webroot" with options to protect as many devices as may be required, from a lower cost for one device and so on, Best Buy offers only these products to cover a maximum of three devices. I had purchased this same brand of internet security last year, along with the rather high-end laptop ordered then, and I am pleased to report that "Webroot" seems to perform as promised, thus far. I ordered another one-year subscription from Best Buy, and my card was charged the full price of nearly $55; even though I had been advised of a guaranteed discount upon renewal. Regardless, when the time came for renewal, it was blatantly apparent that no one wanted to hear a single word regarding any discount. Frequently, a new PC is sold in combination with a bonus of three-months, six-months, or one-year of free security by one of these various firms. Usually, an almost equal fee is added to the overall charge, should you require "Geek Squad" assistance in downloading the new or renewed subscription. A half year of this security product had been included as a bonus with an order of an additional notebook; though I decided to simply disregard that which can prove a literal annoyance as a six-month security bonus and, instead, renewed "Webroot" for one year. At least this time, I can obtain the advantage of the subscription covering the two devices I will use this year, rather than just the one device I had used last year. I must emphasize, whether this does provide effective protection for our internet capable devices, I believe this investment is worth even some peace of mind it certainly does provide.

      Hello,

      That issue is not caused by a virus and an antivirus such as McAfee or Vipre would not prevent it either. This is a matter of making sure you do not navigate to malicious areas on the internet, Webroot

    I didn't really like the web rooter that much. I downloaded it to my Mac, but it froze my computer up several times within a 24 hour period so I uninstalled it. Not a great buy for me.

    This should be optional with alternative given because I already have an ongoing subscription so it was not useful to me in the least or else it should be able to be added to the current subscription to postpone renewal for six additional months.

    I had an appointment with Best Buy to set up my laptop and install the product. I miss the appointment by a few minutes so I would've had to reschedule. I didn't have the time to wait so I set it up myself and did not install the product.
