Why upgrade to Essentials
I have been using Webroot anti virus for a couple of years now. My subscription is getting ready to expire. I'm debating whether to upgrade to Essentials. I was interested in the phishing attack, firewall and deleting unrecoverable files features. I'm unfamiliar with the backup and sync features since I am using only one computer and back up my files with external and flash drives. Other than those features I mentioned would it be worth getting over the regular anti-virus? Are there any other reasons as to why I should upgrade? Is it as easy to use as the regular anti virus and more secure?

If you upgrade your existing key (via the renewal page or if Sales is able to do the 15-month as a renewal, which I don't think they can. 😞 ), you do not lose the time you have currently. If you purchase a new key, you do.
I do not know of any legitimate manner by which to get the 15-month new customer offer when upgrading the existing key, though there may be one, I don't keep track of every marketing offer out there.
When moving from AV to anything higher, the cost is timing and inconvenience. When moving from Essentials or above to a new key, the sync accounts stay with the old key, so it's a bit more of a consideration.
