Didn't solve my problem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had computer functioning problems. After purchasing the one year Webtoot security and having the computer serviced I had the same computer malfunctioning issues as before. I have not yet followed up so maybe the issue will eventually be resolved.

Not compatible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received this disc when I purchased the iPad Air and the two year protection plan for $250.00. When I tried to install it on my 2 year old MAC it was not compatible and will not work on my computer.

Didn't work for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This would not load on my tablet properly. It was more trouble than it was worth. I did get it loaded on my cell phone but wasn't impressed by it, so I uninstalled it. I like McAfee better in terms of navigation and ease of use.

Unnecessary
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a laptop for my mom and was told that this program was included free with the purchase. I didn't want it at all. I have always used AVG and don't have any issues with the program. I really wish that Best Buy wouldn't "include" programs like this. I feel that if I want to buy it, I should have that option. Since I didn't install the program, I keep getting nagging emails reminding me to install the program. Again, if I had wanted the program, I would've bought it. While it's nice that they offer this, for people that aren't too tech savvy, there are better truly free options out there, not just trials or 1-year free things.

Web root not effective
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.for a security system, Web Root does not seem effective. We have tried on other computers at home. Seem to have more problems once on computer than before. Constantly cycling on computer so had to take off. Not happy with it.

Unnecessary
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Added to computer purchase at no additional cost, have always been skeptical about virus software due to easy manipulation into hard drive. Did not end up installing software.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from WebrootTeam
Posted .Techsavvy, 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.

Someone Didn't know what they were doing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A best buy salesperson told me that I would need to install this on my surface 2 because it is a windows product. Only one problem it won't install on my surface because there isn't an app for that. Another reason to hate the windows store

I am not a big fan of Webroot Security
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This security was included when I purchase my new all-in-one. I have used Webroot in the past and was not impressed then. I replaced the protection on my old computer with this product and installed my current internet security on the new one.

6 month not enough
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I dont know why best buy changed the subscription from 12 months to 6 months for all the antivirus products. I am a big fan of webroot. The interface is clunky and old school. Nothing special about this anti virus program.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from WebrootTeam
Posted .Best Buy sells full year subscriptions for all products, but the ones included free with a new device purchase are extended trials for 6 months.

Not that good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have downloaded it on my laptop and it doesn't allow youtube to play fully without stopping to reload like it did when I did not have Webroot.. I never really know if it is running that can be a good thing or bad. I think I might uninstall it.

Posted .Webroot should not be slowing internet, browsing speeds, or Youtube usage. A setting in the Identity Shield may need to be changed for your browsers and one of our technicians will assist you with this for free.

Just another Antivirus Program
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used McAfee for years but uses to much memory to run. Webroot is decent but prefer the new and improved Norton Internet Security and has higher detection rates than Webroot. From lab tests Bitdefender and Norton are supposed to be the best.

Posted .Webroot doesn't use outdated definition updates, but instead utilizes the cloud to provide real-time protection to its users. SecureAnywhere is the fastest, most efficient, and effective protection on the market and it automatically updates so you can spend your time doing what you want.

Computer ruined
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Downloaded this "security software" on my computer which was recommended by Best Buy. Now my computer is redirected to a fake Dell site. I had contacted Dell about issues my computer was having after taking it to the Geek Squad. I later found out after several calls to Dell that they had no record of me calling in for service. The number I had obtained were not numbers found on their real website. After researching webroot, had observed articles about several scams where affected webroot software had redirected customers to scam websites/ Now my brand new computer is totally ruined and I have no recourse. Thanks Best Buy for recommending this product!

Great program
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received this for free when I bought my laptop but my laptop malfunctioned so I unfortunately don't really know too much about it becuz when I returned my laptop and got a replacement I was unable to get another copy

Waste: I'm NOT installing it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Computers need to have only ONE anti-virus or Internet protection program installed at a time. If you have already purchased Norton 360 (or any of the other excellent Norton products), this free product will not work, or if it does, it will stop Norton from working. No one needs this. Everyone's new computer comes pre-installed with some kind of trial protection software. Everyone's Cable Company offers a free protection product for all their computers. All national brands are better than this product. Why risk your computer on an unknown brand, and then get stuck with it for years and years until the company no longer exists and you have no support?

Not too great for my use.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I installed it but with it's limitations, uninstalled. I have a good security system through my internet provider. Claims it will move files but will not move apps. Decided to buy a pc mover which also moved apps.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from WebrootTeam
Posted .DougDCF,
PCMover is not a Webroot product, it is simply something we offer as a bundle with Webroot.
We are sorry to hear that you will not be using Webroot.
It is generally advisable to research and use a product before writing a review. We wish you the best of luck with whatever security suite you decide to use.

Now my computer stops "whenever" .
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have more problems now with the internet staying online. I never know when it will suddenly stop and 'deal' with a 'problem'. I could be off-line for hours. No control any more since taking PC to Best Buy to be repaired.
