[QUOTE="South Park, post: 893549, member: 73194"] Some banks offer Webroot free, which is how I acquired it; this likely boosts their market share. I used it on my previous Windows 7 laptop, which couldn't run MSE because of insufficient RAM. Webroot was very light on resources and apparently protected me well enough, since I never found any infection w/ 2nd-opinion scanners. My only problem about WR was inscrutable false positives, even at default settings, that couldn't be remediated by whitelisting or by reporting to the company for review. This especially occurred with alternative browsers including Pale Moon, Sea Monkey, and even the plain builds of Chromium and the signed exe's of SlimJet. [/QUOTE]
