[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 1052860, member: 31436"] So that people can make informed choices when choosing an antivirus. Hopefully after seeing tests like this they will stay far away from Webroot. I have no hate for Webroot, but it makes no sense to use a mediocre antivirus, when there are much better options, even for free, that like Webroot probably won't slow down their computer, but will provide significantly better protection. I don't know why you would say "if," when tests like this clearly demonstrate that it does not provide good protection. If your devices stay clean, it's most likely because you are not click happy and are careful what files you open. If you do that, it significantly reduces the chance of infection, no matter what antivirus you use. If would even go so far as to say that, you're probably less likely to get infected if you a subpar antivirus, but are careful what files you open, than if you use a good one and open random email attachments and uses cracked software, etc. I will ask you this. In recent years, how often has Webroot protected your computer by quarantining threats, that you otherwise would have opened? When I say threats, I mean actual malware, rather than a harmless PUP you might download. Or are you like many of us here, just not encountering malware. [/QUOTE]
