Easy to install and VERY light. Does not slow down or drain the battery on our smartphones (2 Sony Xperia XA and an Xperia M2). Very comfortable to use as a free version as it doesn't nag you to upgrade. Also very easy to upgrade if you already have a license on PC such as myself, just enter your serial and that's it. I really don't know what's up with the negative reviews. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work ;-)

Webroot Malfunction I've been using this app for a while and every time I've had 100 or more subscription days left, it malfunctions telling me that it is out of Date or tells me I'm at Risk! The App stops working and freezes my tablet! Please fix this or I'm going to switch to a different Virus Protection App! It's a major problem if you have to uninstall then reinstall the app just to get it to work properly!

Steve Jester

Annoying With the latest update I am now being annoyed and irritated by a recommendation that I set up lock screen security. If I choose none or swipe that is not good enough. That is my choice to make. I don't need a constant reminder to change something that I don't want to change. How do I remove this nagging intrusive reminder?

chad moriston

Used to work It used to work awesome then newest update makes it not respond and freezes up my phone. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and still the same problem exists. Fix this problem and I'd gladly give 5 stars

Clarke Pomeroy

Works pretty well most of the time. Crashes my tablet every time it scans, though, especially if it has missed scheduled scans.

I would like to complain about the "Lock Screen" setting and the removal of the ignore option. As suggested in response to previously posted complaint I disabled "Lost device finder", but that only gives you the option to ignore the warning that the "Lost device finder" is disabled. It does not restore the option to ignore the "Lock Screen" setting warning. I prefer not to lock my screen behind a pin, password, or finger print and have never done so with any of my phones. Please restore the ignore "Lock Screen" setting warning ASAP! And then I will give a five star rating... UPDATE: I posted a question about this issue on the Community Forum last Saturday, so far no response and I submitted a technical support ticket and am currently communicating with a support rep. So far, no resolution. UPDATE2: The solution is to disable Webroot in Device Administration with the caveat that the locate device feature will also be disabled.

With the way Android 6.0 works, to protect you against lost or stolen device, we require you to setup one. If you want to keep Swipe as your lock screen, you will need to turn off Lost Device Protection and then can ignore recommendation.

BEEN SEARCHING FOR THE BEST! And I finally found it. Bought new computer, and the Big Box computer store recommended Webroot, (they even use it for all their stores). So got 6 months subscription, transferred it to all my androids also, and WOW I am so impressed! On all devices it's fabulous. Does EVERYTHING yet light on resources. Thank you Webroot. 😌😌 UPDATE: After observing and comparing to other security suites, Webroot blows them all away! Have never felt totally safe on my PC, but that has now changed. EXCEPTIONAL! 😊😊

A Google User June 16, 2016

There is None Better Notification tray is great. The icon at top of the screen is just a little harder to see as it is now a white outline rather than the previous coloured green. But I suppose I am being too picky. This is a Google implimentation not a Webroot one. The app works well with outstanding customer focused support and if the only issue is a white outlined icon that was a forced change by Google then no problem. Thank you for taking the time to reply and thank you for your continued hard work very much appreciated

Webroot Inc. June 17, 2016

No problem! Thank you for the update! As always, don't hesitate to let us know if you need anything. Have a lovely day! :)

carl paddock June 15, 2016

Great product!!! If you have a subscription as I do, you have too download this Free version. It will then let you enter your Keycode and use the upgraded version. I had issues when I downloaded the actual Security one, as did a lot of people in the review section. Thought this might help those that see this!

Logan Wood August 25, 2016

The Web browser is absolutely disgusting The browser is ugly, confusing, and difficult to manage. Other than that great security features and services. Even if I download something sketchy with my normal browser, the software scans the files on my phone after-the-fact. Fix the browser, then 5/5.

Webroot Inc. August 26, 2016

Tommy Gunn July 10, 2016

Pamela Hammers July 24, 2016

Repeatedly unlocking my phone Ridiculous! Since the last update my phone keeps unlocking. Really irritating! Isn't this supposed to protect me from this? I payed for the upgrade and it gives no option to uninstall and reinstall to maybe fix this! Only deactivate? Really? This used to be the best but now this app is only leaving me at risk! What if I'd forgotten my phone somewhere public? UPDATE 07/24/16 The fix for that problem was resolved and it was working perfectly. Not scan stops and restarts phone. No reply yet!

Persistent Status always "You may be at risk" A recent update has again forced the Persistent Status to stay at "You may be at risk", this time for "Secure Web Browsing disabled". Please again add a 'Hide/Discard' option for this notice, TY.

D Gruesbeck June 16, 2016

What most don't know only because they've not kept up with technology or just plsinly don't care. Webroot; maintained the number one spot in Antivirus Softwares for a 5 year stretch. Kaspersky has come close s few times in claiming that coveted spot. A year after it came out it had a number one spot but was short lived within 6 months. There have been two other softwares in past two years that have claimed number one. But Webroot always on their tail. In past 7 years Webroot has found many "false-positives" that other softwares missed. Like Norton and Kaspersky and AVG. If your device (desktop PC, Laptop, cellphone) will allow it, use of more than one Antivirus software is advised. On a PC, "RegEdit", that is where to find a root. Like the fella that had paid version then tried to install free version. Every bit of the paid has to be removed before the free can be installed. Yeah I know, pain in butt. I have had both Norton 360 and Webroot on a PC and IBM Laptop. Once in awhile 360 will catch things Webroot missed.

Andrew Dear June 18, 2016

Experiencing lag and restarting of the phone during scans. When I am running a scan of the device the phone gets bogged down and restarts.

Webroot Inc. June 20, 2016

Hello, We apologize for the issues that you're describing. Have you tried to uninstall and re-install the app to see if the issue persists? Is the behavior the same when it is installed cleanly instead of being accessed from a prior update? We would like to help you resolve this. Please create a support case at http://bit.ly/1mSzt3r

Athena Braun July 13, 2016

No good to me. Sorry but it said my pw wasnt right but it is ..update hun learn to read I have a account already been using the pc version 4 years. I use another antivirus 4 my tablet sad but it is what it is. Others are saying the same issues with log in. so I dont recommend this app for the tablet but for the pc/laptop excellent!! U r wrong.It would not accept the RIGHT pw. Learn to take responsibility for your crappy app. Like I said it is on your end TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR DAMN APP!! Copy and paste is all u know how to do lol ..u r laughable!!

Webroot Inc. July 14, 2016

Hello, If it is saying the password is incorrect, then the password you are entering does not match the one on your account, or you have not added this keycode to your account. We would like to work with you to resolve this issue.Please create a support case at http://bit.ly/1mSzt3r Thank you, Webroot

radd Raccoon September 7, 2016

Best ever Very detailed and even shows you what its doing in the shields option. Theres a reason this is on my phone tablet and full version on my pc. However pc version is somewhat different but still awesome! Install ccleaner with this and you'll have a safe and clean device all the time.

OMsince81 August 29, 2016

Runs lean, and is specific for the kind of environment on phones/tablets. Tricky to renew when the yearly activation period is up. After you pay on G play you get a new key you enter on the new activation field which has to be copied by hand then typed in. The field blocks the activation key you have to enter.

Geraldine Wallace August 1, 2016

How to deactive it I dont like how this works, it sends you through all these steps, like : individually lock apps, but to unlock those apps, its hard to find. So i dont like this, and it wont deactive when i click on Deactive ! So please unstall me.
