I have Webroot Anywhere. Does webroot protect against malware or do I need a separate program for malware protection?

Hey there Happiours and welcome to the Webroot Community!
 
Most users rely on webroot alone to handle all Internet security issues, and this is enough due to the way it works with all of Webroot's detection data being stored in the cloud and if any Malware makes its way onto your system, if its details are stored on webroot's database then it will be detected and removed.
 
You also have fantastic support with a Webroot subscription if you have a big issue your client cannot solve alone, which is always helpul and more importantly FREE with am active sub. 
 
But  If you would feel better having another Internet security program running along side Webroot this is also possible due to the way it was designed to "play nice with others" 
 
I personally just run with just Webroot on all my devices and I have been fine so far, so I would advise others with the same. :)
 
Hope this has helped. 
 
All the best
