Review by Andrea Polk

Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security has become my favorite for my Windows PCs over the past two years. So much so that I recommended it to my step-father, knowing that I’d be the one installing it on his PCs after he made the purchase on Amazon.

INSTALLATION:nnDownload went smoothly (as expected) and then it was time to install the software on (5) Windows PCs running XP, Windows 7 64-bit, Windows 8 and two running 8.1 as an operating system. All of the installs went off without a hitch and Webroot SecureAnywhere is running quietly in the background.

FIRST SCANS:nnOn the XP PC the first scan snagged several virus’. This PC had formerly been using AVG Free.

On the Windows 8 PC it had been using AVAST Free, and the first scan with Webroot found a virus.

On the two Windows 8.1 PCs which both had trial versions; one of Norton and one of Kaspersky, no virus’ were found upon the initial scan with Webroot.

On the Windows 7 PC no virus’ were found. It had been using Webroot SecureAnywhere 2013; subscription had just run out.
