Webroot vs kaspersky 2017 pro#
There’s also a Pro version (not free but I don’t remember how much it costs), the main difference as I recall is that it will scan external drives.
Webroot vs kaspersky 2017 full#
It seems fairly fast to me: a full scan on the macBook Air takes about 30 minutes (about 550,000 files) and on the iMAC, about 2 to 2.5 hours (about 1.4 million files with lots of 5 to 10 MB photos, jpeg and raw). It updates itself a handful of times over the course of a 24 hour period and the updates are unobtrusive. Real-time protection can be toggled on/off. You can schedule scans or run them manually with a choice of a ‘quick scan’ or full scan. Perhaps now there is a more convenient way? And if you do it by phone, what is their number now?įWIW, I’ve used the free version of Avira on a High Sierra iMAC for not quite 3 years and also on a Mojave macBook Air for about 2 years. I have a question myself: do you communicate with them by phone or in some other way? It’s been a very long time since I had to get in touch with someone there (about my account and payments) and I did it by phone. I also have the free version of Malwarebytes, that I run after every scan with Webroot, as I think you do as well. My seven-years experience with it has been rarely exciting, which is good. and you are put on hold for forty minutes, constantly being informed that “your call is important to us” during pauses from playing some very annoying music, until some real human answers and then, mysteriously, the connection gets cut off or you are put you on hold for another forty minutes, if it is better than that, then I would definitely say: stay with Webroot.
But, if doing so solves the occasional problem with “SecurityAnywhere”, and they are nice to talk to and don’t start with a robot answering and offering you a number of irrelevant options so, at the end, you just press “0” and keep at it until you are told that “all our representatives are busy” etc. I have not had the need to get in touch with the developers because of some technical problem. And that usually, when all is said and done, nobody really knows why.
Webroot vs kaspersky 2017 software#
Nathan: “ I’m wondering if I need to re-evaluate one of those, evaluate other options, or just keep letting Webroot support know about the handful of issues I’m having so they are resolved.” That is exactly what I would do myself.īecause I believe that all antivirus software is going to behave strangely and even inconveniently now and then. I’m wondering if I need to re-evaluate one of those, evaluate other options, or just keep letting Webroot support know about the handful of issues I’m having so they are resolved.Īny thoughts from other AskWoody members? In the past, I’ve also used Intego and Thirtyseven4 (QuickHeal) before I went with Webroot (which I originally did when I was on a Windows PC since Thirtyseven4 had performance issues with it, and Intego was Mac only at the time).
I’ve had to have Webroot reinstalled twice, it’s flagged false positives a couple of times, and I’ve had some issues where it says it’s not activated on one screen but it shows it is activated on another screen. Since upgrading to Catalina, I’ve had a few issues with Webroot (it seems to run OK on my High Sierra Mac). I also have Malwarebytes (free) where I can run additional malware scans. My main antivirus app I have running on both of my Macs is Webroot (currently billed through Best Buy, but if I renew it, I may move to direct billing to save money).
