Too much add ons
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This came with my sons computer. I installed it took forever and put way too much junk on the system
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from WebrootTeam
Posted .Hicklife33,
Webroot does not install any additional software on your computer, just the program itself. If you are experiencing popups it would be best to check your control panel for programs that you have installed that could cause this. If you are unable to do this, please reach out to Geek Squad or our support team for assistance.

It simply is useless

Posted .It is typically advisable to completely discard software you don't plan on using, as a product should be reviewed for its' efficacy with a well-rounded point of view.
We do apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you.
poor security for computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not recommend,low securityI still get a lot of spam
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from WebrootTeam
Posted .Webroot's latest product line, SecureAnywhere, does not include anti-spam protection. Most customers who use their home PC's for email choose web-based email services like Gmail and Yahoo, which have powerful anti-spam filters built in. We removed our anti-spam feature because webmail has proven effective at catching spam and is less likely to flag legitimate email erroneously. If you want to complement your protection from Webroot SecureAnywhere with an additional layer of anti-spam defense, the editors at PC Mag recommend the free Cloudmark DesktopOne Basic:

Not Sure About This One
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not install this.. I have found it's not really needed on my Mac for what I use it for...
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from WebrootTeam
Posted .Tina,
The Mac OS needs antivirus just like Windows does. There are no malware variants specifically targetting the Mac OS. We advise installing some form of security on your machine asap.
