Hi bzprice62
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community.
 
No antivirus software is needed (or even available) for Chromebooks. They come with built-in malware and virus protection, with multiple layers of security, including automatic system updates so virus protection stays up-to-date automatically, always running the latest and most secure version. Chrome manages these updates silently in the background.
 
Hope this info helps, :)

Chromebooks won't be as secure after the merger with android.  So we might be able to install then.

As it stands today. There are NO user installed antivirus options for Chromebooks. This is their policy, not Webroot. Android has nothing to do with it. As to what the future holds, who knows. Speculating what that may be is pointless, unless you can tell me what the winning lottery numbers will be. 😉
