Great Antivirus Program

I've been using Webroot AV going on five years, and this is the sixth time (Jan 2019) that I've purchased such. It's very light on system resources, and though it's not as light on data usage as it once was, which is important for anyone with a data capped ISP, it is still fairly data friendly. Much of the data usage now stems from upload checks to PhreshPhish, which concerns the anti-phishing aspect of the product. Though I tend to be a careful person when it comes to websites I choose to visit, Webroot has kept me out of trouble on a few occasions over these five years, and I'm sure it will continue to do so. The Webroot Filtering Extension for Chrome is also a great help, letting me know which websites are safe and which are suspect in my Google search results. Overall, I would definitely recommend Webroot AV for anyone needing great basic protection. I have it on my W10 desktop, my W10 laptop and my folks' W8.1 laptop, and it's been great for them, too.

This works GREAT ....But

I've been using this product for years. Does a great job of protecting my PC. But because I bought the 2019 version from Amazon as a download, the old software doesn't seem to realize I've updated it. So I'm plagued daily by onscreen warnings that it's expired and I need to update ..... very silly and annoying. But awesome protection.

Fast lightweight security

I have tried just about every anti-virus and security suite on the market over the past couple of years. If you want high-powered but basic security protection for your PC, Webroot is the way to go. It uses almost zero memory. If you have an old, slow PC, this is your best bet for security protection. Overall, Webroot does not have some of the bloated extras that competitors offer, such as vulnerability check-ups, software updaters, and the like. But it does the basics really well with little interruption. Scans take less than a minute and it does provide search engine result ratings - red/green check marks indicating not safe or safe to click on.

it works like magic

so i got serious attack on my computer and i quickly bought this Antivirus and it clean up all by virus except 3 very nasty virus that took over all my browsers and were redirecting them so i called Webroot support and the remote into my system to clean it up. I recommend webroot to everyone and i was surprised they did not charge extra for removing those 3 nasty virus.I got my laptop back again without any issues.

Simply the best

I've been using Webroot for several years and just renewed it again. Over the years I have used different antivirus products such as McAfee, Norton (I feel this is highly overrated and not totally effective) and a couple of others. I have found Webroot to be the most effective, less intrusive and easiest to use. I do a good deal of Internet shopping and surfing and Webroot advises me if a site I am trying to visit may be dangerous and infected, suspicious or possibly contain viruses and gives me the option to continue or back out of it. When I choose to back-out it automatically scans my device to ensure nothing secretly infected it. I've got this installed on 3 devices and it was a quick simple installation on all three. This is the exact same product Webroot sells thru their web site but it's about $20 less here on Amazon.

Inexpensive not system taxing.

I like Webroot, I’ts inexpensive doesn’t seem to bog down my systems and gets pretty good reviews. I am not the type of user that gets virus infections ever on my pc, but I share the computer with my family and this gives me some peace of mind, just in case..A nice feature running Windows defender for post scanning is supported so if you feel you want some stronger at protection you can easily do that. Before you buy I recommend you research other products so you know what’s best for your situation, but for me It’s a lightweight non taxing product and I am happy.

Third Year in a Row! Still Love This

I've been using Webroot for a couple years and I love the way it works. It doesn't take up huge parts of my hard drive like Norton used to do. It doesn't interrupt me as often as Norton did, either. I love the fact that it's internet based. It works quietly and I can still use my PC during scans. It plays well with Win 10. It has detected threats so I know it works. I've never had a problem and I'm a rather techy user, so I'm hard to please with software. Needless to say, I just bought round 3 for another year! It got good reviews on PC Magazine every time, and I do check before buying. I'm very pleased. My caveat is that no virus protection is a substitute for being careful during surfing. I recommend a good site like zdnet.com or pcmag.com to read up on how to protect yourself online. Virus protection is just part of why I haven't been hit by hackers much :)

I didn't have any trouble accessing the new key and ...

I didn't have any trouble accessing the new key and plugging into my existing install of Webroot on two computers to renew for another year. Key worked and was convenient vs. waiting for a product to be delivered.

Just plug in the keycode in your old version

I didn't have to download it because was already on my pc's - but it was soon to expire. As soon as I clicked on "Buy" I received an email from Amazon with the new keycode for my Webroot AntiVirus. I copied and pasted that keycode into the Webroot on my system (under "My Account"). Now I have 365 days of protection coverage. Note: I think it will give you 365 days coverage from the day you enter the keycode. So if your old subscription has not yet expired, try to wait till closer to the last day. I did mine a week early and that time was not added on to the new subscription time. For this price for 3 pc's it's a no-brainer. It's quick and easy and incredibly light on system resources.

Protection that doesn't slow you down!

I am rather obsessive when it comes to the performance of my computers. Hence my tag name. I take security pretty seriously and I periodically try other av products that are affordable or on sale just to see how they work. Kapersky, Eset, Bitdefender to name a few. All of them are good with my favorite being ESET. The problem being ESET didn't do so well on some av tests. Webroot works differently in that it detects unusual behavior more than file signatures which it does scan using a cloud based scanner. What this means is that in AV testing Webroot doesn't work because it doesn't work in the same way a traditional AV. So it is hard to get a real world evaluation besides my own experience. One thing to note is the technology they used should theoretically be better able to detect zero day and emerging threats and because it is cloud based signatures are updated in real time. All in all this makes for very little footprint on your pc and a small usage of resources. For me I think the product is great because it doesn't slow my pc's down and allows for almost instantaneous updates. The only downside would be the need to an active net connection. There is an offline scan as well. I think Webroot is a really good product. I would say it prioritizes performance a bit over security while still providing a robust security solution. In some ways I feel it is superior to other AV. There is a new AV that uses AI but it is expensive. I have a feeling that AI will be the future of AV software but for now as a low cost, high performance security option I highly recommend Webroot!!
