Webroot Review for PC Magazine

In this review, we'll take a closer look at Webroot's antivirus software and its unique features that set it apart from the competition. One of the standout features is its identity shield, which works in the background to provide protection against web and phishing threats.

Another notable feature is its file shredder tool, which allows users to easily erase files completely by right-clicking on them. This feature is particularly useful for those who need to securely delete sensitive data. Webroot also includes a disk cleaner functionality that's only available in this tier, which provides 25GB of backup storage for devices.

In addition to these features, the software includes real-time protection, a web shield, and even a firewall. The 'PC security' section of the application has all the basic antivirus features you'd expect, including sandbox mode, which is a stellar addition to an antivirus.

One of the best things about Webroot is its speed and affordability. The software has a small download size of just 5MB, making it easy to install and run even on older systems. The 14-day free trial is also a great option for those who want to try out the software before committing to a purchase.

However, there are some drawbacks to Webroot's antivirus software. For one, its security testing is worryingly sparse, which may be a concern for some users. Additionally, the customer support channels can be confusing and difficult to navigate.

Despite these issues, we found that Webroot has a lot to offer. The software is one of the fastest antiviruses out there, and its price is competitive. With its unique features, such as sandbox mode, it's definitely worth considering for those looking for a reliable antivirus solution.

In this review, we'll also discuss some of the pros and cons of choosing Webroot's antivirus software, including its strengths and weaknesses. We'll also put its customer support to the test and see how it holds up in our hands-on testing.

Overall, Webroot is a solid choice for those looking for an effective and affordable antivirus solution. Its unique features and fast performance make it stand out from the competition, but its lack of lab testing and confusing customer support channels may prevent it from reaching the top of our list again.
