What We Like

What We Don't Like

  • Low virus detection score from AV Labs
  • Functionality involves moving back and forth between app and website
  • Only detected one of our five test viruses

Bottom Line

While Webroot is an affordable alternative to some of the bigger names in the antivirus industry, it did miss the mark in some pretty critical aspects of our testing.
