Webroot Internet Security Complete | Antivirus Software 2023 | 5 Device|1 Year Keycard Delivery for PC/Mac/Chromebook/Android/IOS + Password Manager, Performance Optimizer & Cloud Backup

Installed on Win 7 after some hang-ups probably due to slow/intermittent internet service in rural area - internet connection to website required even with CD. Couldnt install on Win 10 or Vista and took to computer repair with high speed internet. Successful on Win 10 but documentation says Vista (and earlier no longer supported). Seems to work fine and similar to Norton which I had used for over 25 years but need to replace because they no longer support Win 7 or Vista.

I believe in jinxes so I’m not gonna tell ya’ll that I’ve been using Webroot for eight or nine years with nary a worm, virus or smoking gun. Ever.

**Update - 6, January, 2015**: Although my original review was a little facetious, I tried to accurately convey the experience that Webroot products leave me with. The review Trolls quickly seized upon the unfavorable commentary and tried to bury it. And somehow, my review from 2014 got transferred to the 2015 software release. For the record, I did not buy the 2015 Webroot Secure Anywhere Complete keycode. Im sure the marketing campaign for this years release is absolutely stellar, while the product is probably only marginally evolved, if at all changed. The feature/benefit lingo is still empty hype, so I dont feel inspired to pay more for something that tells me very little about how it actually works. $70 (on Amazon right now) for something thats likely changed very little from last year - Hell No! Another thing: Webroot tried to swindle me again, a loyal but untrusting customer for several years, for $80, as part of their annual *Special Offer Direct Email* revenue grab, but I didnt bite. They shortly afterward sent a follow up offer of $50 - but still no sale. My keycode did soon expire so I checked Amazon for Webroots latest complete software listing. Its just so easy to double check pricing and make sure Im not getting hosed. It turns out there was something wrong with the 2015 Webroot release/update, not sure exactly what the problem was but they werent selling the 2015 piece yet, so I simply found an offer for a new keycode from one of the unsold 2013 Webroot Complete Security offerings on Amazon. Ended up only paying about $12 bucks or so for exactly what I had before. Yes, I purchased a clearance sale keycode of Webroots Complete Security package for cheap, because for something Im not sure really does all that much Why the hell would I pay full price, which increases every year and likely gets no better? Cloud computing drives costs down across the board, yet these companies sleazily continue to jack prices up out of sheer greed. Sorry, Im not the typical consumer sheep begging for slaughter. **Original Review**:Ive been using Webroot Complete Security for several years; the software use to offer a more dynamic interface that conveyed to users a small semblance of understanding as to what functions it was actually performing during use. Not anymore... the company motto seems to be trust us, and Just click this or that button and well take care of the rest. Reading the back of the installation CD case, were provided with only vague, lazy-consumer-mindset-type benefit statements, such as Analyzes devices and operating systems to detect system issues, and Social network protection including Facebook and Twitter. Nah, really... it does all that? Amazing. And each year this software gets more expensive and provides seemingly less comprehensive service? More on that later. The company seems to have worked to streamline their product and now simply sells activation keys to allow access to some sort of main server that provides the security service; the silent implication is that they believe their consumers to be comfortably ignorant, not interested in learning more about how the product works, and completely trusting of the cloud. Certainly, Im no tech wizard and have little need for vast amounts of technical information, but theres nothing about this products marketing or packaging that distinguishes it from any other security software out there. Lastly, I sign up for the Webroot product, services and special offers email, and each year near renewal time they send me a subscription offer. This year they were slanging key codes to valued, unquestioning consumers for only $80, supposedly the exact package I always buy. I got lucky and only paid $15 for an activation key/disc from Amazon, believing it to be the 2013 update and complete service? Im not 100% percent sure, but the verified purchase indication reflects exactly what Im using this year. All I can tell you is that the virus scans never indicate that any threat had been detected or eliminated, and if my computers do start functioning suspiciously I simply use the factory re-install settings and reset the hard drive. Im a very simple PC user and dont fill up my system with a lot of junk, so that is probably not an option for most heavy users. I back up everything on a jump drive too. If you pay $40 or, even worse, $80 for this software, youre definitely gettin took, but if you pay $15 at least you can say you have some protection... like an invisible prophylactic. Trust me, I have protection ;>)

Just got this. A big mistake. Yes, it is ostensibly easy to configure. Although with some of the parameters, its not clear what exactly youre configuring or what the potential impact of your various choices would be. How hard would a little more explanation be, for those who want it?. Huge frustration has been the browser filter extensions. Had to uninstall and reinstall both Webroot and Firefox several time before the filter extension for Firefox began to work. Weirdly and somewhat disturbingly, though, the Firefox icon was changed to a blank icon, as though Firefox keeps getting corrupted by Webroot in some way. Not sure what thats about and cant figure out a way to resolve it. Still cant get the damn filter extension for IE to work, despite the fact that IEs add-on manager says that its there and enabled. Way, way too much time wasted on this already. Ugh. After all of that time wasted, I went online and found that Webroots been struggling with the browser filter extensions for some time now. All kinds of problems. Multiple iterations of releases. And, still not resolved. While searching on the web for a solution to the browser filter extension problems, I ran across this on the Webroot website from Feb 2015: This is essentially down to the way that WSA works; it does not scan your entire drive and every file by default but rather it only scans for active files/apps, on the premise that if malware is dormant/inactive then it is not a threat...which makes absolute sense when you really think about it...but the moment that a dormant file/app starts to run/goes active WSA pounces on it, determines if good or bad and acts accordingly, i.e., allows to proceed or blocks & cleans, etc. OMG, are you kidding? So, Webroot doesnt actually find and eliminate threats already on your hard drive, but waits until theyre running and then tries to stop them??? I dont need to point out the obvious shortcomings of that approach. Would be nice to know what Webroots privacy policy is without having to dig for it. The fact that its deeply buried somewhere (Ive not been able to locate it) likely isnt a good sign. It also struck me as odd and troubling that theres no option in the settings for what info gets sent or not sent to Webroot, like with all other virus protection software Ive ever used. I can only assume the worst. Finally, upon looking more closely at the Amazon reviews which led me to buy this in the first place, its hard not to wonder whether a lot of the reviews are bogus and were written by Webroot-paid trolls. There are the tell-tale signs of this: Many reviewers did not make a verified purchase and/or wrote a simple one line review and/or have never reviewed any other product. Frustrating. Very worrisome. Will return.

Open product enter key code updated my webroot. Easy - comes in cardboard case with Cd and keycode Good seller as described

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to purchase one of the few remaining BRAND NEW Windows 7 laptops direct from the manufacturer (a Toshiba Satellite C50). I was researching antivirus and anti-malware programs because I did not want to settle for a Norton 30-day trial. The usual suspects (Norton, McAfee, etc.) just would not do most users justice due to bad tech support, bloating, etc. Then I read about Webroot SecureAnywhere, and was quite impressed by users reactions after using the product. After validating my Windows 7 and Microsoft Office for the first time, I immediately put the CD-ROM into my laptop; the installation had taken no more than 2-3 minutes tops. The scan time is super fast and takes effect once every 24 hours, even with my computer off! (I just checked the results of my last scan; duration was only 15 seconds!) When I use Google and look through the results, I get colored circles telling me about the risks, etc. Once, I attempted to download a game demo, but Webroot saved me from possible malware! (It found suspected malware and got rid of the problem in just seconds! I ran another full scan afterwards just to be safe.) Overall, I am glad that I purchased this utility. Even if youve never heard of Webroot, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you purchase this program for your computer, new or old! Amazon always has a great deal on this program, too, so please add this to your cart!

I purchased this software on October 20, i.e. a bit more than a month ago. When I first installed the software, I had specifically formatted my hard disk to assure that Id install the security software on a clean hard disk. While the installation of Webroot proved to be easy and quick, I sensed that my browser(s) was loading dreadfully slowly. Analog phone-line pace. Customarily I only use one browser, but I installed a couple of different ones in an attempt to determine whether the slow loading was browser-specific. It made no difference. I contacted the developer and received a brief answer after a few days (Id hate to have an emergency): uninstall and reinstall. Initially, that simple instruction worked. Now, a couple of weeks later, Im back to the slow-loading of the browsers. To be transparent, I run Windows 7 Ultra and have only productivity software (MS Office 2010) installed on my computer. No games, no pictures, no music. At this point, Im annoyed with the security software; while it has kept my computer safe, it slows me down tremendously in my work. The period to return the software has expired. Moreover, I note that Amazon is now selling the same precise version for $22.00 less than I paid in October. Not pleased about that either. I will in likelihood return to the new version of the security software I used in previous years. This experiment has failed.

Webroot Rocks! I was using just the Antivirus but needed more and it was about to expire. So I bought this, easy install and did not have to use the disc. Just go on the webroot console on pc, look for My account. Click the gear next to it, it will say enter new key code. Then click activate, it will upgrade you to internet security complete and you will start another year 5 Devices! Very good software! Fast Scans, Always up to date using the cloud. You Never have to click Update! NICE! Windows defender is cloud based but you still have to click update. This is Real Time software and Identity Protection ! NICE!

My internet security was ready to expire, so I started looking on Amazon for a new one. I looked and looked and finally settled on Webroot. Webroot loaded quickly and immediately went to work. One of the things it corrected was a doz window that kept popping up on the screen, very annoying. I think it restored a dll file, also. It corrected one other problem and my computer was like new. On my laptop, which my granddaughter uses, it corrected 7 problems and now it runs like a new one. As for right now I am very happy with Webroot

First Time Web root buyer i am pleased so far, the Installation was fast and easy with the PC Disc on one PC and 2 Laptops. After a week this has been protecting our computers and most of all there has been no sign of our computers and laptops being slowed by the Web root software. I purchased Web root because I read several reviews saying it was one of the best for internet security. Free applications are okay, but all the ads for upgrades were becoming a nuisance.
