![]() Let’s get back to the basic function of antivirus software: how well did Webroot actually protect our computer?Īs of A.V Labs’ testing in June, 2020, Webroot detected 98.9 percent of all widespread malware that was the most prevalent in the past four weeks. ![]() This took out some of the app’s user-friendliness, but it wasn’t a big issue and is certainly not a deal-breaker for us. Our only qualm is that we had to switch back and forth the app and website to access some features. Everything was lightning quick with Webroot. It wasn’t like some of the antivirus apps we’ve tested that really slow down your computer, or run multiple processes in the background, causing delays. Overall, the Webroot app was lightweight and easy to use. Plus, a firewall protected our network at all times, which isn’t always guaranteed with antivirus software. And unlike other software, it doesn’t slow down computer performance or internet browsing speed while scanning. Not only could we do a scan whenever we wanted to, but by default, Webroot automatically scans every hour. That first scan took about 22 minutes, which is actually much faster than many other services we’ve tested. When we first opened Webroot, it immediately scanned our Macbook for malware and viruses, finding none.
