Webroot working with other protection programs
It is time for me to renew my webroot subscription. I currently run it with Norton 360 and they work fairly well together. Are there any other programs that will work with webroot before I pick a new program as I am concerned over Norton effectiveness? I am thinking Kaspersky. McAfee Argued with Webroot too frequently. Is there anything else?
Hello there, welcome to the Community!
While I have not used to researched Kaspersky much for the last 12 months, the last I knew is that it usually worked OK with WSA. The only big trick is to uninstall WSA first, install Kaspersky, and then re-install WSA.
Really, I would advise that no matter what other solution you may try. WHile WSA is compatible with almost any other AV, the installers of those other AV's are not aware of it so they tend to refuse to install if any other AV including WSA is present. WSA's installer has no such problem.
As for McAfee, well, I just tend to steer everyone away from it as it really is not very good at all in my own opinion, and tends to cause too much system slowdown and other problems as well.
Whichever solution you want to try, might I suggest that you obtain a trial copy of it to see how well it gets along with WSA on your own system? Though really in my deep personal opinion while many choose to run more than one AV, I really do not see a huge need for it.
