I really did not like the web rooter at all. It froze my Mac up a lot. Annoying messages and alerts would pop up even after I turned notifications off for this item. I really just did not care for this product.

I have no idea. This program came with my new lap top. Which, by th way, you sold me without letting me know it did not have a disk drive. Since this program was on a disk, I haven't been able to evaluate it. Thanks, Best Buy!

This came for free with a laptop purchase. We did not install it right away and began getting emails telling us to install it and asking why we didn't. That single-handedly made the decision for me to not install it period.

I put webroot on my laptop and ran a scan it missed 679 maleware.
Had to bring my laptop to the store and have it cleaned up and remove all those maleware. So what was the point in buying it when it didn't catch any of those.

Advertised as protection for 3 devices. Is working fine on PC. Will not load to I phone and I pad. Four different Geek Squad members didn't know how to load it. I should have bought it for one devoice at 29$

I got this product with the code to enter online. As I peeled the layer off to reveal the code, the sticker tore off the code, making it completely impossible to read. So I couldn't download it. At least I got it for free!

I was told I could activate it later on and it would expire 6 months after that date. Instead of this, I get emails saying it will expire 6 months from when I got it and I need to activate it right now.

Hi Michelle,
There is a code on the box called the WBR code. If you contact support and give them this code, they'll be able to give you your keycode in full. Here are the contact details:

I had no interest in using this product as I use a different anti-virus software. I would return this product if I could get some money back for it.
This is an example of having a product forced on you.

The sticker covering the Code# would not come off and show the number, making the Web Root CD useless. Plus the e-mail sent to open the on line Web Root program, the included code would come back as "error".

Bill,
Please contact Best Buy with your WBR number on the box or by emailing me at communitysupport@webroot.com
The email sent to you is a code to access our support program, not to install Webroot or activate your portal account.

I don't like Webroot at all, I normally only get Norton, which I love. I only installed this because it came with the dell Inspiron 11" I bought for my anniversary (which the Dell is a total waste of money)

Crystal,
Thank you for taking the time to write this review for us. Webroot is exponentially faster than Norton and doesn't store definitions on your system. We advise taking a look at http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2372364,00.asp for more information about how Webroot stacks up to competitors.

Sorry but when people bring in laptops to install our business app, and they have this we generally toss it. Windows 8 comes with A/V built in. In my opinion this is just a bunch of redundancy to eat up processor power.

HP support informed me that I should be using McAfee and not to use Webroot. I had to uninstall it, but have not returned it to the store. Not sure if I can get my money back since the pkg. has been opened.

Judy,
Are you sure that it was the legitimate HP that you were speaking with? Webroot is far quicker than McAfee and we offer free support for all of our products. I would inquire with Best Buy about a refund if that is where you purchased this at.

It probably is a very outstanding product. But I wouldn't know. I could not retrieve the code from the back of the packaging. The manufacturer should make it a little easier to peel of the label get the needed code.

The webroot virus protection was downloaded successfully to my computer and immediately my computer became almost unresponsive. I then uninstalled the program and my computer began functioning again.
