Webroot is an American security solution based on the 100% Cloud.
Previously, Webroot provided an anti-spyware solution called SpySweeper.
They bought PrevX, one of the first companies to focus on the 100% Cloud, to become SecureAnywhere.
Despite this, Webroot has never shone in my tests, and I hope it will succeed in changing that.
Interface: 10/10
Webroot's interface is very simple, similar to that of its competitor Trend Micro, also 100% Cloud.
Install and forget!
However, it annoys me by always wanting to do a scan like Avira, but I also appreciate that it can detect other traces of an active infection.
Protection:9/9 Web / Fake crack 1/1 Remains 69 threats on210 malware / PC destroyed !!
Webroot began to impress me with its Web filtering efforts, giving me a clean bill of health!
I was also very confident about the fake crack, which he pulled off with flying colors!
But my confidence quickly waned on the fake crack.
Webroot lets too many infections through, even old ones!
Virus.CTS is a computer virus from...2005! I think it's a disgrace for a major security company to allow such an old virus to install itself!
Worse still, its firewall never reacted. Webroot left me defenseless at the mercy of cyber-criminals and their C&C servers, allowing the virtual machine to become infected at breakneck speed.
And finally, GDI malware managed to install itself, destroying the MBR.
Webroot is still not to be recommended.
Result : PC destroyed
Recommand : No
System Clean : System very infected
NB: During the false crack test, you may see a green screen. I apologize, it's due to an H.265 codec I'm testing that crashed during editing....
Don't worry, it blocked it. I'll try to correct the problem in the future.
