June 17 update has caused no issues. This app is so well developed and updated it gives a feeling of safety. Very small footprint and hardly uses any resources. If all apps were backed by the developer as this one is life would be great. Thanks for your continued hard work.

Michael Kebbell

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.

Does everything that it's suppose to.

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.

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 paid for Web root to protect 5 device's I have one protected and it will not allow me to sign in even though I am using the user name and pass word given. I have e mailed webroot support probably 10 times now explaining the situation and I keep receiving the same automated response.. Come on guys get ur S*£_t together

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-

James Moore April 23, 2017

Its draining my battery and locking up my phone. Everytime I deactivate it so I can uninstall it, it crashes my phone. So now there is no way to get it out. Once I get it our I will never install it again.

Great for online and other protection in general. Best part, it's free and scans anything you download and blocks known malicus websites. But no optimizer.

Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback! Our Mobile App does not currently have any optimizer feature, but our Mobile Team is always reviewing new ideas they can implement into future releases. Regards, Josh P. Digital Care Coordinator

March 24, 2017

Its such a silent worker, no intrusions, no prompts. It runs quietly, never make feel its presence. But for the last four years it made me feel so much secured. Deserves all five stars after four years of experience. Though its Secure Web is not very friendly and I dropped out of it.

Janelle Navarro March 23, 2017

Don't do the update!!! I did now when I open Pinterest it secure anywhere shuts down. And then it restarts and tells me my that my web browsing and my anti virus is off, but it's not but I have to then toggle it on and off.

Andrea Whiteman March 24, 2017

No viruses. No stolen identity. No worries! My father has paid thousands of dollars on services and applications for protection. Each guaranteeing they're the best. He even got hooked up with the same company that Microsoft uses for PC and internet security. He's had identity theft a few times, among other life shattering things that cannot be fixed. I keep telling him about Webroot and he always replies that he's heard of them and he'll look into it. Shaking my head! Since I installed Webroot on my PC, tablet and Android phone, I have been worry-free! (a first for me! :)

Carol Danvers March 25, 2017

Don't install if you want to use Pinterest. It will say secureanywhere has stopped responding every 5 seconds when using the app, it makes Pinterest completely unusable.

I love webroot it's so easy to use I've been using for years and use it on several devices I also would like to say I had lookout security on my phone and it doesn't have as many features for free like webroot, webroot runs faster and smoother, I tried AVG Security on my phone and it had so many ads webroot has no ads I'm so happy I got webroot on my phone and other device webroot is my favorite ☺Thank you webroot for being amazing

Ethel Dutaro February 18, 2017

The only antivirus that actually works on my virus infested phone. Been using this for several months now. & I love SecureAnywhere antivirus so much. I've read an article about it somewhere. So I've searched for it at the play store & installed it. I have a problem with Trojan virus in my phone system apps. I can't get rid of it unless I root my phone. & even if I want to I don't know how to root my phone. My browser keeps on opening on its own & going into unfamiliar, shady looking sites. But since using this app it blocked many of those sites. Prevent some popups too!

John Goddard January 7, 2017

BEST ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE YET!!! I have it on all of my devices. It's the best antivirus software out there. Believe me I've tried them all. That is at least, all of the major brands. And they all sucked in one way or another in comparison to this. This has them all beat...

Fred WeeGeorge January 7, 2017

Didn't work. I switched security to webroot because there's a browser that keeps downloading into my phone and downloading other things and I don't know how it's getting there. I just found this unwanted browser on there again after things started updating then alerting me and downloading on their own. There used to be n option to block apps. Where is this option? and how come webroot didn't catch this crap as it downloaded without my permission?
