Latest update caused no issues at all. Still the best app available in its class. If you need a security app that is very well written and uses minimal resouces then this is it

Love this product.

matt haynes September 20, 2017

It was good until they thought it be a good ideal to take it upon themselves to charge your checking account. They will send an email to tell that it will be happening. I've email called and told them I wish not to continue with their services. They go ghost on you and no one will help you. Had to get my bank to stop payment. And still they want to charge me..SMFH. Oh well I guess I have to change some account numbers now. Later on you freaks. LoL

Crystal Wachsmuth July 1, 2017

Every time I restart my phone I get a nonstop popup that the app keeps closing for hours before it stops. It's taking me awhile to type this because of said popup. Choosing close app option does nothing. Deleting app.

After last update permanent notification icon has gone, despite being turned on in settings. This has happened before and was put right. Rather disappointed to see it has happened again. Please resolve, Webroot. Android 6.0.1.

The best app ever and I like this app

Milton Frey July 25, 2017

Everyone should have this for phone protection

Gary Fass July 31, 2017

I seriously believe this Is the worst functioning virus app I have ever installed . As it requires you to create a pass word and this may sound great as it makes the app look even more secure . But once I attempted to log back into my phone after I charged it I was unable to log back in as my password apparently was not recognized and even my phone provider could not by pass this . so in my opinion this is not an app I would recommend . As I am now having to purchase a new phone because of this app . Also I have never experienced anything like this before with any anti virus apps . 0 out of 10 for me on this download

Christina Demello April 13, 2017

Question: I have this app on my Android KitKat tablet which i installed within days of purchasing the tablet and I just installed it on my new Android Marshmallow tablet. My Android Marshmallow tablet has the little "you're protected" icon in the top left corner and my Android KitKat used to have that icon, but it no longer appears. My question is: Why doesn't it appear on Android KitKat anymore and will it ever return? P.S. I gave you a fabulous review on my other tablet's Google play account. We still have this on our PC and I feel it's still better then the other security programs. We've had a one other and it didn't stand up to yours. The other one we had had a " game mode" and had to be turned off to play games or it would kick you out mid game. When I learned that you scan in the background I was relieved that a product like that existed. Used since we had Windows XP.

I've used all kinds of a/v programs out there and will say that most of them are junk (even the apps with ads) and dont detect viruses, etc like McAfee. Then there's others like Norton (which actually lets viruses into your system while costing you hundreds to "protect" your devices. Lol. ) However this app webroot, has limited features which doesn't scan that much files on your device. I heard webroot was top notch and decided to try it out. I have so far seen nothing that is great about it because of the limited features.

Webroot has decent protection against bugs and viruses. However, syncing the mobile app and the webiste with one account is confusing and when you try to call customer service, no one awnsers.

Dforce 10 May 1, 2017

The Execution shield keeps switching off by itself. Also if I block a website known for malware why do I have to select block every time that site creates a pop up, surely your app can remember my preference and block sites like witchcraft without me having to select block every single time. The reason I installed spysweeper was because of their excellent pc software that I had used for years but this app falls far short of their pc software

Webroot Inc. March 22, 2017

We apologize, Derek. This is a known issue with Android and there is a known workaround. This is typically fixed by going into the device Settings > Accessibility and toggling the switch for SecureAnywhere off and then on again. If that doesn’t fix it, reboot the device entirely. Please let us know if this helps. -Webroot Community Support-
