    Includes Spy Sweeper--the #1 Antispyware Protection

    Internet Security Essentials contains the same antispyware protection found in Spy Sweeper, the best-selling and most award-winning antispyware product in the market. This advanced technology thoroughly scans your computer to detect and remove spyware, adware, pop-ups, and other privacy threats, while proactively blocking new threats before they can install.

    Stay Safe from Viruses, Hackers and Data Theft

    Provides complete internet security protection against the latest online threats, including viruses, worms, Trojans, keyloggers, and rootkits. Proactive, multi-layered technologies block unauthorized attempts to access your computer and personal data, helping to protect you against identity theft. Advanced two-way protection "learns" what should and should not be allowed based on your normal activity--which means greater protection for your PC and fewer interruptions for you.

    Automatic Backup Keeps Your Files Safe

    Integrated online and local backup and restore capabilities ensure your valuable files are protected against damage or loss. You can schedule regular online backups of digital photos and other irreplaceable files, while using local backup for less critical files or larger files like digital videos. And because it's automatic, you never have to remember to back up again!

    Access and Share Files With Ease

    Traveling or forgot a file at home? Webroot Internet Security Essentials provides access to your online backups from any Internet connection. Want to share a photo or family video with family or friends? You can simply email a download link. Built-in security ensures they can only see the file you choose while your other files remain private.

    The Magic Briefcase automatically synchronizes files across up to three PCs. View larger. Photos are automatically arranged into albums so you can easily share with friends. View larger.
    Protects Your Privacy

    Normal online activity leaves behind large volumes of unnecessary files that can slow down your PC and compromise your privacy. Webroot Internet Security Essentials removes Internet traces including online history, address bar, cache, cookies, and more. In addition, the "shredder" function deletes files and folders permanently in a single click, making them completely unrecoverable.

    Additional Features of this Internet Security Suite

    • Global early response network provides the fastest response to new and emerging threats
    • Automatic updates ensure your PC is always safe

5.0 out of 5 stars Webroot AV
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2011
Verified Purchase
I have used Webroot's spyware program for years and always found it to be top notch and reasonably priced. As Comcast Cable subscribers we have access to free AV software which was originally Mcafee until they switched to Norton a while back. Both did their job fairly well and except for one instance where something was able to slip through, I found them to be adequate for my needs. Lately, I started to experience some lock-ups and sluggishness while on the net and after doing all of the typical diagnostic procedures I realized that the Norton AV was running a little more "heavier" in the background than I would like, and though this was being done for my benefit, was causing me problems in day to day use. As I said, I always found Webroot SpySweeper to be a great product and decided to take a look into their AV offerings. After learning that they do not produce their own AV program, I checked out the company who they collaborate with and found them to be a big player in the commercial AV field with their software being used by many large corporations. I also checked them out on the sites of the organizations who do professional AV testing and found them to always be at the top or near the top in every test. That pretty much sealed the deal for me and gave me the confidence that the AV component of the suite was able to meet the challenge. So far I have not been disappointed, I have found that the program runs extremely "quieter" than my previous AV programs and the lock-ups and sluggishness have pretty much disappeared. The interface is easy to use and the program does a great job in both blocking and alerting you about suspicious sites. I also like the fact that when doing a search on Google a check mark is placed next to all of the sites that the software considers safe. All in all a very good product at a very reasonable cost. I paid about $21. bucks for the three user version which is less than $7. bucks a machine for an extremely competent program. Free you say!! My feelings on this are that if I go out and invest hundreds of dollars in a decent laptop or desktop, I would have to be pretty much either a fool, or one cheap SOB not to invest another $7.00 to protect that machine from those who are trying to render it useless. One more thing, it is not recommended that you run 2 competing AV programs at once, so if you purchase this one be sure to uninstall your current AV program.

I have been using Webroot for several years and when I ordered this I didn't realize it was a 2011 version, and so I couldn't use it as I needed a 2012 version. The seller was very gracious in letting me send it back.

4.0 out of 5 stars Caution on Auto-Renewal Feature
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2011
Verified Purchase
Enough have been written on Webroot's ability to detect harmful code and my experience seems to concur.

However, think twice before accepting Webroot's automatic renewal option. Thirty days before expiring, a large warning box opens on your screen. The only options are to "Renew Now" or "Learn More." Clicking on Renew Now leads to a screen where the price is almost double, what you would pay for the product on various on-line stores. There is no option to ignore the reminder and get rid of the warning box (short of dragging it mostly off the screen) while you explore your options. From "Learn More" you can opt out of the automatic renewal function, but certainly a long way around to getting the reminder off your screen.

Good software, tarnished by a strong-armed policy for renewal.

1.0 out of 5 stars Is there a minus 5 stars?
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2013

I bought this product for two reasons. The first and main reason was for Window Washer. I had it on a previous computer and it was great for cleaning up my computer and speeding up things and the second was the great reviews. What am I missing here? I downloaded it and it has gummed up my computer so bad it is slowerer than before and I keep getting popups trying to sell me upgrades that I can't get rid of unless I buy them and then the codes don't work after I make the purchase which make them useless. This all happened over the holidays and I didn't have time to mess with figuring it all out so I took it all off my computer to deal with later. I reloaded the software and still haven't figured it out so I contacted the company for a refund and am informed that it is too late to get all but 29.95 of my almost $130 it forced me into spending so in short I am SOL for almost $100. I am so happy for the rest of you but buyer beware if all you want is a simple solution to a problem. You may get a big, expensive problem. Hard lesson learned I guess.

Update 2/14/12. Since posting this review, my complaint to the company which resulted in a reply saying it was too late to get a refund has changed to them changing their mind and they have decided to refund all of the money I paid. I am quite happy about this. I am sorry the product didn't work and gave me so many problems but am glad I'm not out nearly $130. I appreciate their honesty.

2.0 out of 5 stars More Isn't Better When it comes to Antivirus Software
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2012
Verified Purchase
I've used Webroot for several years and have always loved that it didn't slow my system down and gave me control over things like when it downloads the virus definition updates. This can no longer be a strong selling point for this product. They have "upgraded" it so much that the original appeal is now GONE. Every time I start my computer I can see the little circle going around and my computer is slowed to a crawl. Admittedly, my laptop is older, but that's no excuse. All computes have a useful life and every computer I have seems to suffer the same fate - the software gets so big and unwieldy that you have to get a new computer to handle it. Webroot's newer products gobble up resources and don't give you adequate control over when they use them. The result is that every time you boot up you're going to be watching that circle of pain going around and around.
