Review Webroot Antivirus
Secure Anywhere AntiVirus by Webroot, which from now on we will call Webroot Antivirus, is one of the best antivirus programs that we can take into account to keep our Windows computers protected. It stands out, mainly because it offers an above-average efficiency, in addition to the enormous speed with which it performs the analysis, and also above other similar ones.
Webroot Antivirus, which has several of its functions of payment for what here we analyze a somewhat trimmed version of the definitive program, is a good option if you want to analyze your account in just seconds PC. And when we say seconds, we are not exaggerating since its creators claim that it takes only 72 seconds to check your computer. Our tests have not been as fast as they say, but it is undoubtedly among the best in speed if we stick only to free antivirus.
The variety of actions of Webroot Antivirus is another of its strong points, taking into account in the first instance that it will take care of keeping protected all the files that we have stored in the cloud, in sites like Dropbox or Google Drive. We like that the program is constantly updated, so it keeps the information about the most recent threats, always protecting us to the maximum.
Pero Webroot Antivirus is also capable of running a good part of the time in the background, moments in which it works to prevent identity theft from taking place on our computer. This feature is crucial for those who often use their computers to make bank payments or those who often use sensitive data, which is best kept from cybercriminals at all times.
Suppose you think you are at risk of exposing your PC to harmful content, especially when surfing the Internet. In that case, you should know that Webroot Antivirus offers the possibility to surf thanks to its URL scanning safely. If it detects pishing, i.e., a website that wants to trick you into entering personal data, Webroot Antivirus will immediately warn you about it.
When installing and running Webroot Antivirus, we have also noticed that it is an application that goes practically unnoticed on not-so-modern computers, which have power problems when we talk about similar programs. We have tested this utility on a PC that is not the latest generation, and it has behaved perfectly, with minimum consumption of system resources and minimal disk occupation.
More specifically, we have to point out that its creators bring some light and some comparisons to consider. For example, this application occupies almost 150 times less disk space than its closest competitor. In turn, it occupies less than 10% of the computer's memory than its closest competitor. And if we add to that the fact that it opens in mere milliseconds, we are undoubtedly in the presence of a platform that no one can beat in terms of speed.
The antivirus interface may not always be one of its most outstanding aspects. Still, in the case of Webroot Antivirus, we can say that it certainly is since it maintains its own defined spirit, which is very interesting. It is an application that bets on green colors and a navigation system using tabs that we found very nice, so it has an A in this aspect.
Suppose you want to know the advantages of using Webroot Antivirus or its strong points. In that case, we have to point out two that are practically noticed all the time and are essential for the user experience. First, the speed with which this platform performs all scans and the little disk space it takes up is another huge advantage to consider in this situation, especially on somewhat older computers.
Of course, Webroot Antivirus also has some somewhat less convincing issues, which we also noticed during our tests. In this particular case, we have been able to see first of all that you have to pay to access some of the program's features, and secondly, that after running this antivirus, others have detected certain malicious elements on the PC, which were passed on to our protagonist of today.
In summary, we can say that Webroot Antivirus is a good option in light browsers in terms of weight, fast in terms of the time it takes to perform an analysis, and efficient in most of the revisions of our system. If you don't want to pay for a paid platform, you will probably be protected most of the time with this tool, so you may as well give it a chance on your computer if you are not going to overdemand it.
