Webroot Secure Anywhere is the latest security product for 2012, with a new name too. It is more than just antivirus software; it provides protection from all malware threats that are normally dealt with by full Internet security packages.
It protects your online world from threats like spyware that is surreptitiously installed on your PC and steals your personal information. It also blocks advertising companies that install adware programs on your PC which slow down its CPU and memory.
Webroot Secure Anywhere Antivirus 2012 has been tested and approved by the leading test labs like AV-Test, Virus Bulletin, ICSA and West Coast Labs. Not many antivirus programs have been tested and approved by all the leading test labs, and this is a good achievement by Webroot.
However, most of the test results are average and not really impressive. On the AV-Test for Windows 7 performance, it scored 67% for protection, 58% for repair and 67% for usability. These results are far below other programs like BitDefender and Kaspersky who have scored over 80% in all these areas.
The most important features in this version are:
the award-winning Spy Sweeper tool that finds and removes spies on your PC360
