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

Webroot is one of the few antivirus programs to offer a 14-day free trial to try out its PC, macOS, iOS or Android apps. Its scans are fast and efficient, for the most part, but it does tend to miss a few pieces of malware here and there. Its apps also don’t offer the best user-experience.
