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

Update on March 10, 2017 Raising my rating to 2 stars because of Webroots responsiveness, although it took them a week to actually understand the problem and provide relevant advice. Meanwhile, I returned the disk to Amazon, Googled reviews for security software, saw Webroot was still highly rated for its out-of-box approach and found a link in the PCWorld review which allowed me to renew my software for only $29.99 ($50 off--good until June, 2017.) That went very smoothly. Just entered my activation code and was up and running for another year. I declined the automatic renewal as it locks you in to paying full retail. I prefer to shop and save 60+%. And how tough is it to type security software reviews 2017 into Googles search box? Cannot go higher than 2 stars because installation from this disk is not straightforward and requires special effort from the renewal user to find the activation code in their Amazon order and enter it before their installed, expiring/expired software will (based on Webroots feedback) permit installation of the new software or simply renew it. This is WAY TOO complicated. Was not like this any previous year. Webroot NEEDS TO FIX THIS. If I could rate this lower, I would. What you need to know is if you currently have Webroot software, this disc will not install. Instead of running, it just takes you back to your installed version warning you to renew at an additional cost of $79.99. Moreover it will not uninstall, insisting your password is incorrect. Interesting ploy from a drowning company. Used to love Webroot, but it has betrayed my trust. Not good for a security company. Webroot used to be excellent. My recommendation, go elsewhere for your security software. Webroot has lost its way.

Received my Webroot PC security disc as promised It installed easily and at this point in time works seamlessly with my windows operating system. It also seems to have a smaller footprint and my system seems to be working faster then the antivirus software I had been using. I will soon be upgrading to windows 10 so the jury is out how it will work with the upgrade but at this time I am very pleased with my order and Webroot security 2015

This operates seamlessly in the background. Non-intrusive. The absolute best customer service for anti-virus Ive ever experienced. This was a renewal, so CD took me to internet to renew. Very fast and easy. Program includes permanent erase, which is a nice feature, and also works friendly with other anti-virus installed. Unlike some anti-virus programs that operate in the cloud, this one allows you to scan your files or computer without having to be connected to the Internet, even though overall the anti-virus works from the cloud. I dont know who created this program (so many are from other countries), but I like that its based in Colorado instead of a foreign nation.

Hope it keeps us secure as stated

SCAM! Do not buy this is a complete scam! I’ve always used webroot and love it, and decided to buy this and it was the worst decision I ever made! Nothing downloaded nor the the keycard work on any device!

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.

I switched the home machines after over a decade from Norton to Webroot and it seems to work fine. We had web performance issues with Norton over the past 2 or 3 years so I switched to this product. It seems our performance is a bit better than under Norton and I like the five pack. I never liked McAfee, even when it came for free on computers and Im not trusting my internet security to a company based in Moscow (Kaspersky).

(Update Below) Wish I saw this on youtube before I bought this program. Web-Root Secure Anywhere Review (Removal & Zero-Day) by DehHaxor4evr. It was easy to install. It found about 150 problems/viruses/malware on my computer after the Iolo Mechanic Pro. (We dont use the Iolo for virus, but maintain the computer in other ways, but we ran it first and it only found 7 viruses). After we saw the review video above on Webroot. we found out about Malware-bytes. We bought it, and it arrived on same day that web root did. After web root ran the computer, Malware-bytes found almost 600 malware/virus/problems. This was right after webroot, and it was installed. We left web root on the computer, due to Malware-byte runs with other virus programs. Figure already bought it, and cant hurt to have two programs protecting the computer. But we probably wont renew it when the year runs out. Renewal time. They want $79 for first year of renewal, and $50 for 2nd year. If you contact them on their web site it states must accept Cookies a security program that wants cookies be allowed. It did allow my note be submitted w/o allowing the cookies. But why ask? We will be deleting this program, and keeping Malwarebytes, which is a much better program. Several times a day this program has been putting up Need to renew soon links on the screen. Bye Bye program. Removing soon. We changed it from 2 star to 1 star. I had sent an email to them to find out why no deal for renewal for loyal customers. Got a Reply (That I could not reply to) that said the email was a system automatic and it did not know of deals, and need to call to get a deal. This is hoping most customers will just pay the price, next it was not an email, but the program itself giving a link, then ph calls to get a deal? That is Phishing in a way to get you to call and get a hard sell. This is the first software company that does not give a proper link to a good deal for renewal in the last couple years of programs that I have updated. Malwarebytes was 1/2 price for renewal, and does everything and more than this program does, and Malwarebytes is not identified by this program as a 2nd security program.

I hope its as hard for others to get into as it was for me. I downloaded the trial, liked it so bought this. It installed easily and scanned fairly quickly, then sent me to website to register and create account. It was picky about combination of characters but finally accepted, sent email providing me with link to complete activation. First it wouldnt accept answer to security question so I had to change it, then it wouldnt accept security code, had to get another email link, wouldnt accept password. Keep in mind that I had written these all on a pad, was carefully typing one finger at a time and you cant see what is typed, just the little dots. Ive spent the whole afternoon, including going through every .... ah, you dont want to hear all this. Its a good program, but you have to activate your account to add the other devices and so far I havent been successful. I would probably give it a 5 if I could solve this but Im tempted to give it one star.

We family of 5 have used thus program to keep us safe. This one is the best for that. Have used 3 other companies in the past, this works the best for us. I installed 5 days prior to another 1 year coverage. I sent a note to Webroot and they guided me how to add the new key without the need to reinstall. Plus our 5 days were added to the 365. ☺
