Webroot SecureAnywhere anti virus / malware

Works fine so far for me going on 18 months on Windows 8.

Somehow Webroot got into my computer and I had to ask the board how to get it out. There is no way I would use a product that hard to remove or arrives without any notification!

Webroot is among the best in my opinion.

Having worked in corporate IT where we needed the ability to ensure thousands of computers were properly protected - I worded with a lot of A/V products.

Webroot isn't designed for a corporate world - but I put it on all my personal computers.

However, I'm finding that the newer Microsoft Windows Defender (Win 8) and Microsoft Security Essentials (Win7 and Vista) are doing a very good job at no cost.

So I'm not renewing Webroot.

While the MS default products stop viruses, I find the best product for malware to have is Malwarebytes.

All AV software has its ups and downs. The only one that is different is Malwarebytes because it blocks IP addresses of malware servers, so zero days (malware that is not yet detected) are somewhat protected against.

Scored well in protection(detection) in Windows 8, but among the bottom in Windows 7 according to AV-Test.org. So depends on what version of Windows you're using?

Thanks everyone for the information
