Webroot antivirus
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would Never recommend Webroot antivirus, within the first two weeks of having it on my computer I got a virus. The program never seen the virus and still doesnt see it. Had to install another antivirus program to find the virus because best buy refused to let me return it because it was past 14 days from the purchase date. But told me to bring it in and they will charge me to go through it and take a look at it and remove it. So niow im sitting on a brand new computer that isnt worth anything and sitting in a corner. Really irritated with Best Buy.

Decided not to install Webroot
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Webroot doesn't make the test list for AV-Test and other independent labs. Performance reports I did find bothered me a bit. The Yoga 2 Win8 I purchased already had Norton 30 day trial installed anyway.

Free with purchase, though not using it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This came free with a laptop purchase, so we took it. However, it seems somewhat of a "bloatware", and we use other anti virus software anyway. Oh well.... Again, it was free so no biggie.

Unknown product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'd never heard of this security product which was automatically installed by Geek Squad when transferring files from my old computer to the new one I bought. I was told it was better than McAfee, which came with the new HP. I had used McAfee (Norton), a known and reputable security system, for years. When it came up for annual renewal, I did so. McAfee advised that Root could interfere with its software, so I deleted Root. I just feel more comfortable with a known product (Norton) that HP had the confidence to include with its system..

Blah
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was part of the package deal so I got stuck with it. MS does a good enough job for my needs protecting me. I may just toss it on the kids machine as they need more protection than I do...

Insufficient Protection
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The software was given to me upon purchase of my new HP computer. When I turned it on and opened a browser it was obvious malicious adware was activated. I installed WebRoot and it started its process, but it never resolved the multitude of issues caused by the, what seemd to be a preinstalled virus, in my computer. I downloaded the free AVG virus detector and it immediately resolved the issue. It didn't take long for me to lose confidence in WebRoot and I unistalled the software. Too risky to use on an expensive computer that took me months to save the funds to purchase.

Good to have
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good to have but doesn't cover all the bugs. I wish Best Buy had an app you could just download for half of the price. Some people don't need to purchase the item to only use it once

Not necessary
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used for a while but felt like it was making the computer slow. I switched to microsoft security essentials and I feel it works better. I only installed because it came free with a computer purchase.

It's okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for free with my MacBook purchase. T was okay but it is only a month free. I miss the good ol days that when you bought something you got it none of this subscription nonsense.

Posted .Hello,
We offer a free 6 month promotion through Besty Buy but it has to be installed immediately. We advise reaching out to Geek Squad so they can see why this only lasted a month.

I'm sure it's a fine product.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already had a subscription through a different product in place, to which I simply added the new computer. But this was one of those "You must bundle THIS poduct in order to get THAT price" deals.

Had to remove
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I installed the software and almost immediately got malware on my surface. I ran a check and it was not found. I then removed and installed McAfee which found the malware and removed it.

Posted .Topper,
This was likely an issue caused by a Potentially Unwanted Application, not malware. If you ever believe you are infected you can reach out to Geek Squad or our support team for free assistance.

Don't Bother
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only reason this product was worth the money is because it was free with my computer. There are plenty of products out there that do the same things for free better so spending money on it is pointless.

Not for MACS!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The idea of antivirus software is a good one. This Webroot software was included with Geek Squad support in a package I purchased from Best Buy. After hours of frustration and finally taking my brand new iMAC in for assessment, it was determined that Webroot was causing all the computer crashing problems. Thankfully, the Geek Squad removed it from my computer and everything is working great now! If you want to save yourself anxiety, do not install Webroot on your MAC. I hope in the future, Best Buy points this problem out to MAC users before they make the mistake I did.

Open Box HP Laptop Didn't work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased and Open Box HP Laptop because the sales associate said that it was thoroughly checked out by their tech staff and certified back to factory specs. We brought the laptop home and started the setup. We got as far as entering the network user name and pass but it never connected. In fact, the wireless card was not found in the list of hardware. We tried completing the network setup over night but was unsuccessful. We returned the unit the following day very displeased with Best Buys "Open Box" item. We will never go back.

Posted .Hello,
This is not an issue that Webroot can assist with, nor is Webroot the cause. Please make sure you are writing a review in the proper area. I would advise reaching out to Best Buy or Geek Squad for assistance with this.

useless
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product was forced on me by Best Buy to "protect" my investment when I purchased a new Toshiba Laptop. What it actually did was conflict with a Norton security program already installed on the laptop from the factory. The result was 9 viruses that messed up my laptop in less than 2 weeks time. It seems as if this disc was used as a gimmick to infect my new laptop so I had to return to Best Buy only to be told software problems are not covered and I was forced to buy their "Geek squad" tech support to get rid of the problem they created. VERY UNHAPPY!

Its necessary to have.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well when I bought a web root before from staples I didn't have to do all that key coding, but when I got get it at best buy which is connected with the geeksquad I had to put the key code in which did not work and when I tried taking it back, they couldn't give me a refund because the lady said they can't give refunds on software's. But I think they should on this item considering that the key code did not work at all because the exchange they gave me that was not from webroot is not doing so well either. So I think I'll go to another electronic store to get it.

Not a good product.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not recommend this product because it doesn't work well at all. It's to expensive in comparison with other anti-virus programs.

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.

Block downloading of everything
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this for about a month now and every time I try to down load something it blocks it and will not load. ie AOL. GOOGLE CHROME. I also was talking to a friend and one of her co workers bought the webroot too and had to go back to best buys 4 times before they figured it out that the problem was that webroot was blocking all the downloads and stopping the computer from working right, I am taking my laptop back to best buys next week hope they can fix it, but I would not buy this product,, it sound good when you buy it but the performance has a lot to be desired,
