We live in an age of technology, with endless resources at our fingertips. Just turn on your PC, Mac, Android or iOS device and merge onto the information highway where you can shop, browse, communicate, share, socialize, work, bank and more. The wonders of the Internet are seemingly limitless, but similar to most things in life, with the good comes the bad. Lurking around every corner are malicious online threats that put your computers, mobile devices, information and identity at risk. While you answer e-mail, you're vulnerable to phishing attacks. Every new link may lead to a virus. Fake Web sites might look legitimate but could trick you into revealing crucial information. Malware could infiltrate your device at any moment. Don't panic — defend your identity and your technology with the powerful protection features of Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security, and navigate the Internet without worry.Always-on protection means that whether you're shopping, banking, browsing or sharing, Webroot is there to stop the latest known and unknown threats that put you at risk. This software will warn you about infected Web sites before you visit them and provides continuous protection without interruptions or slowdowns. Facebook and Twitter are no longer such high points of weakness as Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security provides comprehensive social network protection to help counteract tricky malware. To make life simpler, Webroot manages your passwords, so you only have to remember one, and lets you navigate security on your devices from one easy-to-use interface. This software also analyzes your operating system for existing system issues to get you started with a clean slate. Enjoy all that the Web has to offer without putting yourself at risk. Whether you have a PC, Mac, Android or iOS device — or regularly use up to three of them online — defend them with Webroot.

It's really hard to rate protection software - just because you don't "catch" anything, it doesn't mean the software did its job. I'm a careful user, but this is another layer of protection, and that's the best defense - layers. Make the bad guy work to get into your system, and he's likely to go find a softer target.

It's big, it's ugly, but it's wonderful. If you care more about performance over looks, this is the one for you. Nothing fancy here, The case is box-plain, but it works great.
I do wish it had more USB ports on the front, but there are plenty in the back. The little dip on the top holds my external drives well. Like it!

Not as good as the wired trackball

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had my doubts about the trackball being thumb-operated. I've used the wired version of the trackball for about 20 years, so my fingers are adept at using it. I was wary of the thumb location on the wireless version, and it turns out I was right. The thumb just does not have the micro-control as the index finger does. I tried, I really tried, but it's just too awkward. Ended up being a standard wireless Logitech mouse.

Just a little tricky
on February 6, 2015
Posted by: ailurophile

Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, I like this earset. I'm not an audiophile, so the music quality is just fine for me. The phone volume is just fine as well. I wear behind-the-ear hearing aids, and even with the ear hooks, I have no problem wearing these all day. I can still hear conversations and traffic with them, which is great.
My only dislikes are the cover over the charging port ,which is difficult to manipulate (I might cut it off); and that you have to turn it on to use it. The Plantronics I used to have connected automatically. And the button to turn it on is not isolated from the volume buttons, so it takes several tries to turn it on. Maybe I'll get used to where it is and it won't be such a problem. Its range is a bit shorter than the Plantronics unit, also.

It's a charger, and it charges. What more do you want? It does what it's supposed to do. Isn't that enough?

For Vivosmart HR+, can settings be adjusted to show heart rate as first default screen?

No. I tried it, and the display reverted to time.

Does the vivo smart heart rate work well with a smart phone/ droid?

Absolutely! According to the packaging, it also works with IdiotPhone, though I don't know why anyone would want one.

I just ordered a Vivosmart Hr+ tracker. I already am using an Edge 820 for cycling. Should I take off the Vivosmart while I'm riding so I don't double-count my activity?

I'd use both to verify numbers. I don't see how the devices themselves would conflict with one another.

Vivo smart HR +2 weeks old. It's been great and charged fine but the low battery came on and now will not charge no matter what I do.

Had that problem once. Make sure charger is plugged into the device - but I don't know how you do that, frankly. Go to where you bought it and get expert advice.

Would love a screenshot of info given for sleep patterns? Does it track REM sleep?Does it wake you with sound or vibration & if vib then is it enough to actually wake you? Fitbit doesn't. Can u set alarm to have open window of light sleep to wake u?

I haven't used the alarm function. It does not track REM sleep; only hours of sleep.
Do you have a problem spelling out "you"?

I am going on a long hike that will take around 10 hours. I have read this battery is good for 8 hours in GPS mode. Can I use a portable charger and recharge as I hike? Will it continue tracking while charging?

Only if you bring the proprietary charger and an AC/USB device with you - and have some place to plug it in.

Only at Best BuyCharge Qi-enabled smartphones quickly with this Insignia Qi wireless charging mat. Its compact design allows it to fit easily into your bag or pocket for hassle-free traveling, and it comes with a USB cable and wall charger for convenience. This Insignia Qi wireless charging mat has a blue LED indicator to show the connected device's power status.
 

Will it charge with phone in a "wallet style" case?

I use a Samsung-brand portfolio case; it has a special window on the front for added features, and it works fine with this charger. I had such a case on my S6, and after consulting with a BB employee, bought the charger. It worked fine with the portfolio cover, and also my S7 Edge, also with a portfolio cover.. Be aware that it is slower than a direct-connect charger, but it is convenient to just place the phone on the charger, confirm, and go.
