Webroot Antivirus With Anti Spyware

Webroot Renewal quarantine Blackmail

I bought a version of webroot and have renewed upgraded since at least 2006.

May 21, 2010 I turned off autorenew - I dont like the concept and my credit card is not active. 

Well today WEBROOT fails me. Despite having paid $120-$150 for this product. I get a rogue advertising spyware - infects my system tray. looks bad, worse than it really is I think, disables my other virus detection programs and shuts down my ports... great.

I run webroot - it finds the suspect but will not remove / quarantine... tells me I must have an active subscription to quarantine!!!... It seems to me I have paid for this product 3+ times over... and now a few days after I dont auto renew it is unusable and (and WILL NOT PROTECT me from what I have paid for?) Is this right? 

I can understand not being able to get latest updates(which just slow my computer down), or newest virus lists but to allow me to get a virus / spyware that is a slap in the face and fraudulent. It says all the time you are protected from 1million virus definitions but apparently not really.

- Anyone had a similar experience? 

Webroot if you are reading - I was hoping to renew but not for $59+ (as a loyal customer penalty) when I see coupon codes for $19 - $29? why the renewal penalty?. http://www.offers.com/webroot/ I believe I am done with your products - my email is cmob12@yahoo.com.

WEBROOT SECURE ANYWHERE ANTIVIRUS REVIEW 2016

Webroot Secure Anywhere Antivirus

Webroot Secure Anywhere Antivirus is more than antivirus software. It is antimalware. It stops the viruses and worms that exist in order to infect other computers, but it also protects you during web surfing sessions by blocking harmful websites. And it takes down spyware that tries to deceive you or exploit vulnerabilities in operating systems. Spyware steals information about you and sends it to someone else. Some spyware is fairly benign. Adware, for example, watches you in order to tailor advertisements based on your habits. Adware can also happen with your consent if you opt to use a free service that involves accepting ads. Another less-lethal form of spyware is the tracking cookie. Advertising companies install cookies on your computer in response to you clicking on ads. Unless you delete it, the advertiser will know when you visit a site with its ads.

If spyware was just adware and tracking cookies, it would be bad enough. But there are worse forms. Some spyware changes computer settings, slows internet connections and slows your home page. A jealous spouse or suspicious lover can use spyware to monitor you. Webroot Secure Anywhere Antivirus insulates you from such attempts to infect your PC. Furthermore, Webroot is an honest product, not to be confused with dozens of fake anti-spyware products designed to trick you. This antivirus software reflects sound design approaches to the user interface and takes advantage of Windows features to promote ease of use. 

Antivirus software such as Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus frustrates malware in a couple of ways. It scans data and blocks viruses that it detects. And it removes malware that is already lodged in a computer. You can tell it to scan your PC according to a schedule that you select. It looks at the Windows registry, operating system files and applications to give you a list of threats. Because having the latest threat signatures does not protect against a brand new, zero-day threat, Webroot uses other ways to detect threats based on their behaviors or by comparison with known threat families. The actual signature database in Webroot is not gigantic because it relies more on analyzing behaviors of suspected malware based on data that Webroot keeps in the cloud. The architecture of Webroot is code with a small footprint that uses information in the cloud. It is compact and efficient. After a full system scan, Webroot scans a PC in a couple of minutes. This software is lean and mean. Unfortunately, because of the way it works, it doesn't lend itself to testing by third-party test labs, so it is difficult to compare its performance to the competition.
