My wife and I have had this on both of our computers for a couple of years. I've found it quite easy to install and run, it does catch problems (as expected), and it doesn't have a negative effect on the operation of our computers (both are Windows 10). We've used other software before, and had problems with some 'slowdown,' as well as intrusive features that we didn't want. I'd recommend Webroot as a good choice.

Hey, thanks for the detailed review! Webroot stands out among the competition because of how light it is on computer resources while remaining effective as malware protection! Glad you're finding that to be the case.

Where I am a 'user' of a computer, I do not have the technical skills to completely understand all there is to know about them! That being said, when I recently purchased the 2 year contract for the 5 devices we have, I could not tell if all 5 are protected! When I tried to find out that information, I could not! On the 2 primary computers I use and the 1 computer used by the owner of the business, we are only assuming they are protected by the WebRoot icon, my cell phone, and the owners, doesn't show any icon, so we don't know if what we are paying for (5) is 'all' protected - Thank you for allowing us to give you our feedback - Rasj48
Webroot is the best on line security program I have used. I get reports concerning activity on my computers and the action taken to stop malware. The personnel I deal with from time to time are very professional, knowledgeable and I feel confident that I am protected.
