The updates that Webroot has made to their 2011 Antivirus has pushed Webroot Antivirus into the running. They are now a major player as far as antivirus technology is concerned.

Here are the key features that make them a worthy competitor.

It comes with Spy Sweeper and an anti-spyware that detects and removes even the most complicated and buried spyware known today.
It has real-time protection that will safeguard you by blocking and removing viruses before they have a chance to do any damage.
It's easy to use; featuring automated protection with scheduled scans, and automatic upgrades giving you constant, and regular protection that is always up to date.
They've taken their Antivirus, and made it easier to use, and more attractive. With faster downloads, and faster scanning, Webroot has joined forces with the creators of the well respected anti-virus, Sophos. They've integrated both anti-spyware, and AntiVirus protection into the software to give users complete protection. A highly recognized and renowned anti-spyware meets an award winning AntiVirus, it's no wonder Webroot's AntiVirus with SpySweeper is the most preferred of its category by students, professionals and businesses alike.

I've never used a product from the "webroot"
:p

I do not believe in all the software from now on.
I will use the software, if it is really good, and has been getting good feedback from users.

That sounds like an ad..... :p
Looking at your statement , I can tell you that Kaspersky, Symantec, ESET , Avast etc. can also do what Weebroot does, you didn't gave us any reason why we should believe that this suite is actually good.
Further more the price for SecureAnywhere™ Complete 2012 version is ridiculously high($80) while the antivirus is worth $40.....so the real question is why should any user chose this security product and not any of the above.... :)

Didn't manage to install yet a VMware on my system yet so I've loaded youtube and searched a video to see Weebroot at work... and found this video from languy99

For Webroot isn't strong like other competitors even the test organization that published by AV-Comparatives through recent tests.

Not saying to trust them, just to give some idea of how AV vendors perform.

On that review it may just give a bit not accurate at all. So especially when the user saw its got a good review on that site then he/she use that software without any comparison to other site reviews.

I usually don't believe in written reviews anymore since I'd like to see an actual test of a product.

Would never use or have faith in their product now, and yes this sounds (most likely is going by the 1 post) advert for the company. Would not mind if you expanded a little more as to how and why so it at least sounded like you had a bit of substance of the matter.
