Webroot is a Colorado-based company which has been developing privacy and security software since 1997. It’s made some interesting acquisitions over the years, including buying the UK-based PrevX back in 2010, and today the company offers a full range of home and business antivirus packages with the SecureAnywhere brand.
Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus has a short but appealing feature list: real-time threat protection, anti-ransomware, real-time anti-phishing, and a sort-of firewall thrown in.
The package is exceptionally lightweight. Webroot says its installations use typically around 15MB of drive space, compared to 500MB+ for the competition. There are no bulky signature downloads to hog your bandwidth, and very speedy system scans are quoted at around 60x faster than average.
The price is average, at £22.50 ($28.10) for a one-year, one-device licence, discounted from £30 ($38). Adding more devices or years brings better value, so for example a one-year, three-device (PC or Mac) licence costs £30 ($38) initially, discounted from £40 ($50).
Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus protects Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion and up, with 14-day trial builds available.
