I am a college student so I spend alot of time online. I downloaded the 6 month trial of webroot anywhere.
1. Can I delete my Norton now?
2. What should I purchase in the future to protect my computer and internet sercurity?
3. Will I be okay for the next 6 months with just the trial?
Thank you 🙂

What is Best for me?

Hello HillHysteria and Welcome to the Webroot Community Forums!
1)
The choice is yours. 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.
What is the difference between my antivirus and Webroot SecureAnywhere?
-Detects, blocks and removes all infections including highly sophisticated
banking malware from your PC in the fastest possible time.
-Has an integrated Identity Shield feature that provides a secondary layer of
defence against financial and information stealing malicious software.
-Identity Shield assumes your PC may already be infected with sophisticated
and hard to detect malware such as a banking Trojan and neutralises the
threat by shutting off its data theft activities on your PC, thereby keeping your
identity and online activities secure.
-Doesn’t need virus definition updates, these go out of date within minutes.
Instead it uses the Webroot Intelligence Network (the world’s largest threat
intelligence database) to identify new files and classify threats in real time.
In this way, it identifies brand new threats in seconds, rather than hours or
days and significantly minimizes the risks posed by malware.
-It is lightweight and uses the least PC resources of any antivirus. At less than
1 megabyte in size, it’s tiny compared to conventional antivirus software that
is on average around 500 megabytes!
-It is extremely fast, according to independent tests it’s the world’s fastest
antivirus. A normal deep scan takes 1-3 minutes depending on your
machine and will not slow down your PC.
-For the second year running Webroot SecureAnywhere was lauded as the
most effective antivirus software at detecting and blocking new malware with
a perfect score from PCMag . It also received the highly
coveted PC Mag Editor’s Choice Award.
But I advise you to remove Norton
uninstall your Norton product
2) You can choose what features you need, and you choose the appropriate product

3) Yes.
