I don't trust this tests, I just found them funny. Avira's WebProtection is decent too. I found funny that only Kaspersky and BitDefener are in top. o_O

Webroot is not mentioned, but I can assure you that it has a very good anti-phishing engine according to my tests.

What is Webroot like as a companion security software these days? If I remember correctly it use to be very good for this purpose.

I have used Webroot as the main AV for a long time but also I have tested lots of other AVs, with WSA alongside, without problems, even if someone of them asked for its removal.
So yes it's a good companion AV.

Thank you for the reply. It always was great when I used it as a companion AV.

Phishing techniques are not new for AV's eye, it's matter on the how many information can gather.

I like to see other products to check their effectiveness rate; since majority always 'claim' to have good detection in terms of phishing.
