10 reasons to choose Webroot Internet Security Essentials

1. Triple protection with antispyware, antivirus and firewall security
Powered by top-rated antispyware and antivirus technologies, Webroot Internet Security Essentials delivers complete and proactive protection against threats like spyware, viruses, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, worms and rootkits. Smart two-way firewall minimizes false alerts, stands guard against unwelcome intrusions and makes your PC invisible to hackers.

2. More than 50 awards for superior security against online threats
Webroot Spy Sweeper, the antispyware technology behind Webroot Internet Security Essentials, has won dozens of awards for security excellence from publications such as PC Magazine, Top Ten Reviews, PC World, PC Pro, PC Advisor, Top Choice Reviews, Bright Hub and more. And its antivirus technology has received 44 Virus Bulletin (VB100) certifications, placing it at the top of the industry.

3. Online and local backup keeps your valuable files safe
Webroot Internet Security Essentials makes it simple to schedule regular online backups of your valuable electronic files--including up to 2 GB of photos, documents and more--and to back up less critical files locally. Because backups are automatic, you won't have to lift a finger to keep your important data protected from loss or theft.

4. Disk cleanup for enhanced privacy and PC performance
Normal online activity leaves behind large volumes of unnecessary files that can slow your PC and compromise your privacy. Webroot Internet Security Essentials removes these traces of Internet and program activity and cleans your hard drive for faster PC performance and an added level of privacy.

5. Uses fewer system resources for faster computing
Webroot Internet Security Essentials ensures you stay fully protected without sacrificing PC speed or performance. That's because it loads and protects faster, requires less disk space and doesn't overload you with unnecessary or superfluous features. Its Gamer Mode also lets you play games or watch movies without interruption.

6. 24/7 security with Smart Shields, automatic updates and "zero-hour" protection
Powerful Smart Shields provide 360 degrees of protection to block, detect and remove threats, and automatic, frequent threat updates ensure you are protected against all known threats. Webroot Internet Security Essentials goes one step beyond with "zero-hour" protection, which identifies and blocks new or unknown threats for which the general public has had zero time to protect itself.

7. Access or share important files with remote file access
If you're on the road or forgot a file, you can access your files that have been backed up online via any Web-connected computer. Or, if you would like to share photos, videos or documents with friends, the online backup system allows you to email them a download link so they can view the files you designate while keeping all other files private.

8. Easy-to-use, intuitive interface makes staying protected simple
All the technologies included in Webroot Internet Security Essentials are streamlined into one easy-to-navigate interface so you can quickly set preferences and schedule automated scans. It installs quickly and, once up-and-running, operates in the background so you can stay protected and continue computing without interruption.

9. Safer communications with email and instant messaging (IM) monitoring
Electronic communications are often a conduit through which malware can infect a PC. Webroot AntiVirus with Spy Sweeper puts an end to such security breaches by monitoring your inbound and outbound emails and IM messages to ensure they have not been "hijacked" by hackers and that any attachments are free of hidden viruses or spyware.

10. Free customer support and software updates for 1 year
If you have questions, you can call or email a local customer support team for answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ... at no additional cost. And all software and threat definition updates are free for one year after purchase.

Product Reviews

PC Live--4 Stars--5/22/2009
The program will do a lot more than simply block dodgy websites and thwart hackers. It can regularly clean the computer of all the temporary files, cookies and browser histories that can bring it grinding to a halt.

PC Pro--2/13/2009
A solid, usable package with online backup to boot. The interface is clean and sensibly laid-out....

Personal Computer World--2/26/2009
An impressive bit of security software and its backup, clean-up and potential for customization make it a strong product. It's also fast and unobtrusive, with little effect on the computer's performance.

PCMag.com--10/23/2008
Excellent malware cleanup. Powerful multilayered malware blocking. Includes 2GB of online backup, with remote restore and file sharing. Cleans up browsing and system usage traces.

WebUser.com--12/18/2008
This security suite contains the same anti-spyware engine as Spy Sweeper, Webroot's best-known software. It also scans for adware, viruses, keyloggers, rootkits, Trojans and other types of malware. Full, quick and custom scans of the PC can be performed and you can right-click a file or folder to check it.
