Testing ransomware protection was tough, because Webroot wiped out all my real-world ransomware samples. This system can even reverse a ransomware attack, in many cases. A thumbs-down from the cloud tells the local agent to wipe out the process and reverse everything it did. It journals all actions by unknown processes and reports the behavior pattern to its cloud database. Webroot relies mainly on behavior-based detection to classify programs as safe or malicious. I'll briefly run through my results here. Please read my review of the basic antivirus for full details of my findings. This suite’s antivirus protection for Windows PCs comes from Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus.

#WEBROOT REVIEW INSTALL#

McAfee costs still more, $159.99 per year, but that subscription lets you install McAfee’s top protection on all devices in your household, whether they run Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS. Five Norton licenses will run you $104.99 per year, but that gets you five cross-platform suite licenses, five no-limits VPN licenses, and 50GB of storage for your (Windows) online backups. If you want five Webroot licenses, you pay $69.99 per year, still less than the three-license price of the other suites I mentioned. Bitdefender, Kaspersky, and Trend Micro Internet Security cost $20 more for three licenses. How Much Does Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security Plus Cost?Īt $59.99 per year for three licenses, Webroot costs less than most competing suites. It’s not an impressive upgrade to the antivirus.

Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security Plus starts with Webroot's Editors' Choice-winning antivirus and adds a third-party password manager and a mobile app that’s a shadow of its former self. However, many modern suites omit the less-needed spam filter and parental control, and there are plenty of other variations.

Just what ingredients go into making a security suite? In the past, one common recipe started with antivirus, firewall, spam filter, and parental control system.
