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 can't really tell if this protected my laptop, but I didn't get any virus so far. But the year ended up so fast. and I was not sure if this is the right product or should I go Symantec? or another?

    After going through a painfully frustrating installation process, I kind of gave up on this software. I honestly can't say that its good or even working but I would be very disappointed had I paid for it!

    Disastrous experience!

    When I attempted to remove the keycode from the first package I bought, it came off in shards and fragments and could not be read, so I returned to Best Buy and exchanged the package for a second one, and asked the employee to remove the keycode for me so that I would be sure it was all in one piece. When I attempted to install it, I got the message that my operating system was too old and that the program could not be installed. Best Buy would not let me return the package because it had been opened. So I have just thrown $50 down the drain. Probably not the product's fault, but I won't be trying this again.

    Installed it on advice from Geek Squad but from day 1 it would not allow me to open a window to see how it was doing, run a scan, or work with it. Uninstalled it two days later and installed Norton. At least that works fine.

    It slowed my comp down so much. And every time I use my comp there comes a security pop up to make sure I want to view only secure connections. Five times a day would be tolerable or on each site but no every single page : (

      Hello,
      Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it very much. It is understandable that a consumer may prefer to use a free solution in favor of a subscription based one, however, we have found that the innovative technology that we utilize has proven to be a successful and refreshing new approach in tackling the emerging threats in the security landscape as it continues to evolve. We have also done extensive research and have heard from our customer base across the globe that this is technology that they are willing to pay for because it does offer protection in a way that the other vendors do not.
      Regards,
      The Webroot TeamWebroot

    I didn't like the way this software took over my laptop. It slowed the startup and caused several issues. I uninstalled it and installed ESET. ESET is the best antivirus suite out there in my opinion.

      sig40,
      We apologize for the issues you have experienced. Webroot is currently the fastest antivirus available, even compared to ESET. If you are experiencing slow performance issues it would be best to reach out to Geek Squad or our support team for assistance. Webroot

    My new computer was working perfectly. Then I received an email from geek squad that I didn't want to forget to install the webroot software. So I did. My computer wouldn't boot up. Ten minutes later still looking at a black screen. turn off/on three to four times then finally booted up. Same thing every day for 3 or 4 days. Finally removed Webroot. Now computer is back to starting up like it did in the beginning. Maybe I did something wrong during installation, but my computer works much better without it.. Definitely will not reinstall.

    I'm not sure if it's downloaded properly. I never get any alerts saying that it's scanning, or a scan needs to be done. Never appears in my startup menu. So I'm not to sure if it's working or not.

    It has not helped the issues I was having with my laptop and actually is operating worse than before this software was installed. I brought it in for virus removal, clean up and protection. It was an inconvenience to be w/o for several days, then get it home and have to contact tech support w/in 1 day via phone and have them rework the computer for another few hours and still not correcting the problems and missing icons and programs. As of today I have to make a 3rd Tech support call

    Product description says it is a one year subscription, but once I activated it, I only received a 6-month subscription. If it didn't come free with a laptop purchase, I would be even more upset.

    Not a fan of this anti-virus. Its given me a few headaches and I uninstalled it. Gave it 2 stars because the Uninstaller seemed to be clean and actually remove most things unlike most anti-virus.

    I did not use this as I feel. Norton is better and I had already renewed my account when I bought the new computer. I could not figure this one out when I tried to put it on the computer so I uninstalled.

    Had to perform a "system restore" after installing

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

    Installed Webroot, and went through the setup. After initial scan my computer did all right, for a while. On following days, Webroot would show an infection, and ask to remove it. When the "infection" was removed, I could not sign on to the internet, and the only way to get it going, was to do a restore from an earlier date. Got so frustrating, I had to do a complete system restore. Don't know if it was my system, or Webroot, but I went back to AVG free. Not going to "recommend" or "not recommend" because I don't know if it was my computer or the software causing the problem.
