What are the advntages of Webroot security software over Windows Defender?
Hello @

 

Welcome to the Webroot Comnmunity,

 

Well where do I start? I can tell you alot of things why Webroot stands out by being a superior Anti Virus and what makes it different then others.

 

#1- Webroot has a roll back feature "What Happens if Webroot Misses a Virus"

 

#2- What's my number 1 favorite which convinced me to go with Webroot was their free Technical Support as long as you have a Webroot licensed subscription. And there isn't any other Av's with this kind of superior free Support on this planet!

 

#3- Please have a look at these Seminar video at BrghtTalk https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/8241/127363 about the Evolution of Encrypting Ransomeware

:

If you want to learn more about WSA you can watch videos here: (which is are more reasons to love Webroot)

and here are allot of new ones: https://www.brighttalk.com/channel/8241  and https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/8241/144383

 

#4- Webroot SecureAnywhere can either replace or work alongside your existing antivirus software.

Webroot SecureAnywhere is fully compatible with other mainstream antivirus products and

will work alongside any existing antivirus software to detect and remove any threats it

misses, and to protect your financial and personal information.

You will not be asked to uninstall your existing antivirus when installing Webroot

SecureAnywhere....

 

#5-

Once Webroot is installed ..you can set it and forget about it Uses very little resources and updates automatically from the cloud.

 Please read the potential Webroot has.: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/Scanning-PC-suspiciously-fast/m-p/... also the Webroot WIN Cloud does all the work not your PC: http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php

 



 

Here is our PC User Guide

 

#6- Webroot also has an online Account console so you can monitor your PCs, Android devices and Password Management capilities at your fingertips.

 

#7- Webroot Antivirus also protects Mac Computers ..which is one of the reasons I purchased Webroot. I'm running WSAC on 5 devices  plus more inclucing my Android tablets and cell phone.

 

 

Hope this helps,

 

 

Kind Regards,
Hi and welcome to the Community edwardo27.

That is a good question actually and Sherry has gone a long way to answer that but it all depends on what level of security your after.

With Webroot you are getting the Rolls Royce of the Antivirus world in an easy to use format against the free Windows Defender, read this review of it http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1926596,00.asp
Great answer! Thanks, Sherry! Edwardo27
