Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus Review

“Very good review on Webroot SecureAnywhere”

=============================================================================

Webroot is a fairly well-known name in the security community, and it’s all encompassing “Secure Anywhere” software suite is offered in three varietals: antivirus, Internet Security Plus, and Internet Security Complete. I decided to take a look at its basic “antivirus” package, which touts lighting fast scans, no updates to install since it’s cloud-based, and phishing/malware protection.

 

Webroot has a simple interface that’s easy to figure out and intelligently organized. A column on the right side contains all the options for security and scanning, and most options are simple, binary choices. Do you want real-time protection on or off? Just hit the switch. There are also more advanced menus available to really drill down and set things up to your particular personal requirements.

 

On top of antivirus and malware protection, Webroot has a few extra features to keep you safe online too. First, there’s a browser extension for Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox that warns you when you’re on a sketchy site that might harm your computer or your private information. It’s labeled as phishing and ransomware protection, and the extension puts an icon in your browser that appears as a green check for good sites, and a yellow exclamation for suspicious ones. Password and mobile protection are available if you upgrade to a more expensive package
