![]() Webroot provides a feature called Web Shield, which is a browser extension that makes surfing the web safely by blocking malicious sites from stealing your data. I strongly recommend you backup your data when using Webroot. ![]() I found that Webroot only blocked 6 out of 22 threats on my PC - that’s an unsettling score and can put your data at risk. Webroot provides real-time protection through its ransomware simulator, web and phishing protection, as well as its identity protection feature.įirst, I tested its ransomware simulator, which prevents ransomware from encrypting files on your device and holding them hostage for payment. Real-Time Protection - Does the Job but Could Be Better If you’re not willing to compromise on security, I strongly recommend Norton 360 as it detects 100% of viruses consistently and isn’t too demanding on your computer either. Overall, I would have liked to see Webroot offer a near-perfect detection score, but it still provides excellent value for how few system resources it consumes. Keep in mind that I have a high-end PC with a powerful CPU, and your experience may vary depending on what sort of system you have. I also installed heavy apps like Adobe suite and AutoCAD, and Webroot didn’t impact my system performance in the slightest bit. I browsed on multiple tabs while the full scan ran in the background. It uses a cloud-based virus scanner, which doesn’t use a lot of your CPU resources, memory, or disk space. It didn’t hog my system resources like many other antiviruses I’ve used before. ![]() What impressed me the most was that Webroot was very light on my computer. Webroot’s Deep Scan just took 7 minutes to complete!
