![]() Backup once worked across Windows, macOS, and Android. However, even that offering was diminished compared to previous years. What’s Up With Webroot's Backup?Īt the time of my previous review, this top-level Webroot suite integrated cloud-based backup and file sync for your Windows devices, with 25GB of hosted storage for your backups. Paying for higher tiers adds a full collection of identity theft remediation features. For $139.99 per year, you can install McAfee on every Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and ChromeOS device in your household. McAfee+ at its lowest level gives you unlimited licenses. With Norton, if you want more licenses or more backup storage, you upgrade to one of the three levels of Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, which tops out at a yearly fee of $349 for unlimited suite and VPN licenses, 500GB of storage for backups, and maximal identity theft features. Trend Micro’s product line follows the same one, three, and five hierarchy as Webroot, but upgrading gets you more enhancements and added features. The biggest reason to buy either Webroot suite is to get the equivalent of a volume discount on the antivirus. It’s worth noting that for both suites the per-device price is about $20, half the price of a single antivirus license. If you want more, you buy more at full price. You can buy one antivirus license, three suite licenses, or five licenses for the top-tier suite reviewed here. For example, paying $10 more gets you 10 Bitdefender licenses rather than five, and ZoneAlarm Extreme Security’s multiple license options go all the way up to 50 licenses for $549.95 per year. With most security suites, you can choose the number of licenses you want, with better per-license pricing at higher numbers. Note, too, that Bitdefender routinely earns perfect and near-perfect scores from four independent antivirus testing labs. Bitdefender Internet Security is an Editors’ Choice winner for entry-level suites, while Bitdefender Total Security is our Editors’ Choice for a top-tier mega-suite. Now that Webroot Internet Security Complete no longer offers backup, the incremental value of upgrading to this top-tier suite is even less.īitdefender, by contrast, packs so many features into its basic antivirus that it outmatches many suites. It also includes limited mobile apps for Android and iOS. Webroot’s entry-level suite adds little beyond the basic antivirus for Windows and Mac. At the top, a mega-suite adds such things as backup (the ultimate security), VPN protection, or support for multiple platforms. ![]() A basic security suite bolsters the antivirus with components such as a firewall, spam filter, parental control, and so on. They offer basic antivirus that wipes out any malware you may have picked up and carefully monitors your system to prevent fresh infestations. ![]() When it comes to protecting your system from Internet threats, Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Securitydoes a very solid job and so is an option worth considering.Įditors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security 2015.While it’s not universal, there’s a common pattern in the product lines of many security companies. This is becoming more and more common in software, but it is a difficult sell in virus protection, when there are still virus protection suites that are available for a one-time cost or even no cost. Pricing structure: Webroot uses an annual fee pricing structure for its software. ![]() Even if this is the first piece of protection software you've worked with, you should have no problem figuring out how to use it.
