Webroot Antivirus Software 2023 | 3 Device | 1 Year Keycard Delivery for PC/Mac

I could not get program to load and run on Mac. I found a support number, on line, and then received great customer support. It did take a while for the tech to get the program going but seems to be up and running just fine. BTW, it did load and run ,on Windows, in about two minutes.

Excellent program, runs in the background. I had not used Anti-Virus protection in years, as Macintosh is relatively immune. I had recently downloaded Mac Cleaner and that is when the apparent problems began. Virtually every time I clicked while running Safari, I would get a new screen warning of a new virus infection. These screens looked official and many appeared to be actual Apple sites. I once followed the prompts and ultimately this led to a purchase screen for their advanced product. I seems that the program was loaded with issues that automatically prompted virus alerts. Webroot cleared all these issues on the first scan. I am sure other brands of virus protection work well. In the olden days - from 1987 to 2008.... I still have my first Mac SE, I used Norton software, which worked extremely well for protection, backup, etc. Since purchasing my first laptop in 2008; however, no additional protection software seemed necessary, at the time. Times have changed. I tried Trend Micro, but had download issues from the vendor, and finally requested and received a refund. After reading multiple reviews, I selected Webroot and so far, am pleased. This Webroot program offers protection at a reasonable price.

Hubby, the IT professional succeeded in contracting some Virii. As soon as he noticed something was amiss he scanned with MS Defender. Nada. Next he tried MalwareBytes. Some hits and a couple were quarantined. At this point he was getting frantic as his finely tuned Spidey senses were tingling. Rather they were going off like the evacuation klaxons for the local Nuclear power plant. I was more interested in just exactly what he was doing to have gotten in sooooo much trouble. In desperation, aided by a reasonably positive CNET article he downloaded WebRoot from Amazon. Bingo, he was clean again. As far as his computer status that is. He says that hes aware there may be better products but he was desperate. Within 10 minutes of the download he was smiling. And winking. As far as that goes, Im still waiting on an answer about his web activities....

So, this was running fine I thought until I started to notice files missing and realized I must have a virus. I ran a scan and lo and behold I DID have a virus. Of course I was happy that my virus scan WEBROOT found it and gave me the option to clean it out. I clicked to remove the virus and it said that it removed it and started a rescan...this happened four times over a three day period (I was scanning all of the mapped drives). When I reached out to get some support from webroot, they asked me to download an exe file that would send them a log of what was happening. I did and then they wrote me again with a solution...they told me how to eject my mapped drive and to rescan and that should solve my problem...WHAT!? If I do not scan my drive, I will not have a virus! Really? I wrote back asking for a refund because obviously this is a fake product if they can not prevent viruses, can not remove them, and their solution is not to scan the drives so that the problem is solved. They wrote back asking if they could help via a phone call...sure! Why not? Lol, jokes on me, they never called! Would be ZERO stars if possible

Reliable

Works good easy install quick scans. I have used All the different Antivirus software and like this one because it Truly stays up to date. Never a button to click to update definitions because it is Cloud based. I do recommend manually scanning you hard drive, which takes more time. Just go into settings and find your hard drive, right click on it and the choose Scan with WebRoot. I use Windows 10, it works very well but still use windows malicious software removal tool which can be downloaded for free. * Also go under Settings, Access Control ,make a password and also check off the First 4 Boxs and the Last Box on this page. Will prevent Webroot from being tampered with and being shut off, which hackers do all the time.

Had it for 6 weeks. I bought it from the link on amazon. The disk arrived quickly and installed quickly without problems. I didnt give it five stars because I would really need to see how well the computer is protected over 10 or 12 months. (Thats the real test, right ?) My understanding it that it does not primarily download a massive # of signatures but up to date information in the cloud updated constantly. It is true that there seems to be no penalty in computer performance. August 23, 2016 It seems to work fine it has quietly taken care of bad stuff. My computer is not messed up.

I like the product. For one thing, I was sent a disc which is easy to install. I had had Norton which downloaded their product. Then Norton got confused and even though I had re-subscribed it took my anti=virus protection away. I was unable to have it re-down loaded. With this product, if anything goes wrong, I can re-down load from disc. This is a powerful protector, anything new I am alerted. So far, so good. If this keep up, I will use it on my other computers.

It works all the time. You must remove previous model soft wear.

Affordable very light weight Anti Virus. We use this product on over 30 customer computers with no issues. The only problem that we have run into is the occasional install that does not add the uninstall option under Programs and Features. No anti virus offers 100% protection, all AV products let 100s of unknown viruses through their protection until they catch up. You still need to do you updates, use a decent adblocker and avoid opening links in email. Webroot does a good job of adding a layer to your defences without slowing down your computer.
