Review by E. Garcia

I’ve always been a fan of McAfee’s Total Protection, so I was a bit skeptical about Webroot.

But, after installing it on my laptop, my fears have been alleviated. The total install size was much smaller than what I’m used to, but all the functionality is there. Better still, the default security settings on Webroot didn’t make my machine unusable: no overly restrictive firewall rules, no quarantining half of my programs, no blocking web access to my favorite games.

Installation was clean and simple. The initial scan took a long time, but completed with no issues and no false alarms.positives as of yet, and no blocked apps. I don’t download freeware/shareware off of the internet, so I guess the woes of my fellow reviewers don’t apply to me at all.

Solid product. Easy to use.
