Hi nwyooper
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
If I may just add, in response to your basic question "What is the difference between Webroot and McAfee", they basically do the same thing...aim to protect your system from malware. Where they differ in the way they do  this, what impatc they have on your system and finally how well they actually do the job.
 
As you will have no doubt gathered...we here believe that WSA does it all better than McAfee, for the reasons provided in the threads/previous posts that Sherry has provided.
 
But those are the basic differences...McAfee does the job...but WSA does it oh so much better. ;)
