Ratings and reviews

Reviewed earlier regarding the difficulty in upgrading this app. Spent 48 minutes on the phone with a tech. Finally got it upgraded. Now the dashboard is gone. You can't tell if it's actually checking for viruses. The browser is gone. Now it defaults to Chrome. I don't want to use Chrome. Can't contact the help desk because I need a password. And their system demands a new password every single time. My rating of one star is too high. But or course, zero ratings are not allowed.

I've been using Webroot for both computer and phone for the last few years. Next to no issues. Yesterday, 4/16 they pushed an update that now displays a constant notification that "You may be at risk - Current scan out of date". I've ran several scans, and none of the scans have gotten rid of the notification. there's nothing in the settings of the app where you can hide this notification either. i went into the settings and prevented the app from showing notifications for now. hoping for fix.

High battery drain and high CPU usage. when both my phone and tablet displayed that over 40% of my battery use went to the Webroot app. I was concerned and didn't see any difference after the last update. This mess started after one of the updates. and I am tired of waiting for fix. I have deleted the app and will be looking at others when my subscription runs out.
