Webroot Internet Security Complete 2024, 5 Devices

I have been using Webroot Internet Security for almost ten years now and have never had a virus infect my systems. It is easy to install, keeps itself updated automatically and runs efficiently in the background.
I think it is the best product our there and provides a comprehensive solution to your system’s security.

Been using Webroot for over 10 years. It’s the best on the market.

First, anyone having trouble adding this to their existing Webroot install is most likely confused. Continue reading the next paragraph if this applies to you or if you are just interested in the process, otherwise skip to the third paragraph to read my review.

All that needs to happen once you purchase a new year (or two…but why would you do that?) of Webroot protection, you need to click/tap on “Returns & Orders” up top in the Amazon header bar, then click/tap the Webroot purchase and then click/tap the “go to software library” button. This will take you to a list of software you have purchased and on top should be the Webroot option you selected and purchased. Listed in the info of the product is a 20 digit keycode presented like xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. Copy this keycode. Then open up Webroot, which should already be running in the background. If it is, the icon is hidden behind the “show hidden icons” arrow on the right of the Windows taskbar. Double click the icon and click on the settings gear to the right of “My Account” after the Webroot box pops up. Paste the keycode in the white keycode field under the “Activate a new keycode” heading. Click “Activate”. You should see a popup telling you the code was applied and then your subscription days should reset to 365. You are done.

Webroot is simply the best security software I’ve tried. I’ve used most of the others in the past and have experience with free versions and open source versions. Once I tried Webroot I never looked back. It’s easy, light and good at catching stuff. I could go deeper into all of those reasons but if you really want a detailed comparison between the competition there are plenty of professional review/comparisons out there and I would suggest just searching for them. Each time I’ve personally done just that, I read the same conclusions over and over. Webroot is listed at the top in terms of protection and performance.

Now as for my experience as a customer of Webroot, it’s better than the rest too, but not without irritations. The first being the auto-renewal that somehow gets checked even though I would bet my computer that I unchecked the box. This is not unique to Webroot but no less infuriating (and scummy) if you somehow miss the single email they send reminding you they are about to charge you double what you can pay to get another year subscription. Lookout for that if this is a new purchase for you. I’m pretty sure it’s happened once after just putting in a new keycode too, so my advice is just be aware this “benefit” might somehow get selected magically. Just the idea Webroot is willing to scam current customers with the auto-renewal makes me mad. There is no reason the auto-renewal can’t reflect the actual going price for their software. If they are willing to sell it on their site to new customers for a discounted price they should be selling it at that price to the people who are auto-renewing. Again, this isn’t unique to Webroot.

In conclusion, if you need protection for your computer, in my experience this is the best option.

Has served me well many years… uncomplicated…. does the job
