Review by OlyNomad

I’ve had Kaspersky Internet Security on my computers for well over 5 years and when it came time to renew I wanted to see what else was out there because I wasn’t as happy with the product the last two years and it was increasingly expensive. I spent a couple hours researching the various options and decided on this Webroot Internet Security Complete 2016.

Before installing (from disc) I made sure to do a complete uninstall of Kaspersky so I would not have issues during install.nI installed this on my desktop (HP, Windows 7) and laptop (also HP, Windows 7) and had no problems with installation at all. The disc did not auto run on either so I opened up the file folder and started it manually (select WRSetupCD).

It was a very quick install, took about 7 minutes on each computer and that included the initial scan it does during installation. I did an additional scan just to be sure after install and that took 1 minute and 24 seconds.

During set up it asks you to review and accept agreement. It asks for your email address. It gives you the option to receive special offers and newsletter from them or not to.

Prosn+ Reasonably pricedn+ Very quick installn+ User-friendly interface. Very easy to navigate and understand what you are seeing.n+ Not obtrusive. Doesn’t slow down my computers or interfere with performance at alln+ Quick scansn+ Useful Utilities (System Optimizer cleans up files and System Analyzer lets you know ways you can improve your computer’s performance)nnConsn- haven’t encountered any yet. I have not had to use customer service and have not had a threat to the computer to see how it handles that. I will update the review if that changes. Update I’ve used customer service and had good response times and they’ve been helpful. I have had a few threats and they were dealt with.

Update I’ve been using the product for a couple years now the one complaint I have about it is that when the product is 30 days from expiring it starts to give you warnings and a yellow exclamation point on your toolbar that you can’t shut off. It’s very distracting and annoying and feels like it’s badgering you to buy instead of just reminding you that your protection is about to expire.
