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.

    No additional protection needed with Windows 10. And if you do decide to add additional software to supplement Windows 10, there are better products out there than this.

      Stanley,

      Windows 10 protections is not something that should be solely relied on. We would advise looking into what it has to offer and then choosing a security suite that meets your needs. Webroot

      taspros,

      Apple was incorrect in their statement that you did not need an antivirus solution and we advise addressing that with them. There is now malware specifically targeting the Mac system and you should always have protection on it. Webroot

      kd295i6,

      Webroot will not prevent you from logging in or using your email. This sounds like an unrelated, or threat related issue. Please reach out to Geek Squad or Webroot support for assistance and we would be happy to take a look at this for you.
