Summary: WORST SUPPORT EVER!
Comment: I'd say their support was bad but it was NONEXISTENT! 3 unanswered emails and 45 min. on hold before I hung up. Web based support cases get automatically 'CLOSED' with no more than an automated response 'check our support links'. BAD, BAD, BAD.

Summary: The best antispyware and antivirus software on the market
Comment: I used Norton on my first computer back in 2000. It was ok. It did its job by protecting my computer from spyware and viruses. However, it did crash my computer once in a while (not good when finishing a report!), and it sometimes made my computer performance slow. When I bought my new computer in 2005, I saw the original Spysweeper (without antivirus) on sale for $5.00, and I decided to give it a try.
I'm so glad I switched. I originally signed up for the one year subscription, and it has done a great job protecting my computer from all kinds of spyware stuff that I didn't know existed. Best of all, it does not crash or slow up my computer. When my one year subscription was up in 2006, the antivirus came out with spysweeper, and it is even better.
Since then, I've had no problems with any viruses or spy cookies on my computer. I just run a sweep every week, and it eliminates all that stuff from my computer with ease. For you info: I'm running Windows XP (2nd pack).
I will not consider another antispyware and antivirus software. This product is worth the price. Webroot will give you a discount if you're a continued subscriber. Just a side note: If you're having problems with it running updates while you're online doing something important, you can either set the updates to run with your connection speed (dial-up vs. DSL), or you can just turn it off completely. However, I don't recommend turning it off for very long, as it constantly keeps up with current spyware and virus definitions coming out everyday.

Summary: Excellent software
Comment: My experience with the webroot package began about 6 months ago when Norton began hanging (failing to finish its scans) on a Windows XP and a Windows Vista computer. I first installed the webroot product on the Windows XP machine and noticed that it always took between 5 - 10 minutes to boot the software up. After several discussions with webroot personnel, I came to the conclusion that this software simply must have a minimum of 1 Gb memory to work properly (the XP machine only had 512K). After upgrading the system memory, there were no further problems. The webroot software worked fine on the Vista machines from the start because they already had sufficient memory.
What you get for your trouble is a very powerful antivirus + anti-spyware combination that is much more adept at finding and eliminating threats than Norton ever was. It is also the first package I've used that effectively stops homepage highjacking, even from the dreaded msn and runonce issues. Just specify the homepage you want in the antivirus program, then in your web browser, reboot, and the problem is gone.
The key here is that you must have 1 Gb of memory for this software to work properly, so if you don't have a full gig or you don't know how much you have, go to [...] where you can scan your computer to see what you have and buy additional memory if needed.
I have now installed this software on 7 computers (3 Vista, 4 XP) and it works great every time. All 4 XP machines required memory upgrades.

Summary: Works for me!
Comment: I set up a new workstation for my wife for light computing only, and I needed at least some protection for the system, so I bought this package because I already have experience with the Webroot Spysweeper product. I was happy to find the spy sweeping and virus protection in one package.
I set up a 2003 era Windows XP machine from scratch, installed this product, and it works fine. If this product adds to the boot-up time for my computer, I sure can't tell.
I don't know if there is a single perfect computer security tool. Most every one has those who swear by it and those who swear at it. I wore myself out one evening reading all sorts of reviews for anti-virus products, and finally decided to buy this one. So far so good.

Summary: Slow - Slow - Very Slow!
Comment: If you like to turn on your computer, have all your programs load immediately, and then wait another 2-4 minutes for this antivirus and firewall program to finally figure out it also needs to load - then this is your program! Then add another 2-3 min for it to actually complete downloading - All the time telling you to wait 1 minute - (which in reality takes 2-3 minutes).
I was told by customer service the reason it takes so long to even begin loading upon turn on, is that "it is probably scanning the hard drive"
Excuse me! But Norton and PCcillin never scanned before loading!
Oh - if you happened to make the mistake of checking the box to update downloads automatically, you should know it decides to do that job at random whenever it decides it wants to! Usually when your in the middle of entering a market order, or entering a number in a spread sheet. The computer freezes until it finishes its slow, slow, slow update!
Please, please, look for something else. Norton and PCcillin was never this bad.
