If you’re looking to run lightweight software on your desktop, laptop and phone, the Internet Security Plus plan may be best for you. Webroot’s Internet Security Plus plan offers the same benefits as the SecureAnywhere plan (except for a vulnerability scan addition on Android), but the real benefit is the ability to protect more than one device. We believe the SecureAnywhere plan is best suited for users with just one personal computer to protect. This means that it can be used on computers with less power or older devices. On the positive side, it’s a lightweight solution that doesn’t take up much system processing or power.
This plan, however, doesn’t offer many additional tools or features. Webroot’s SecureAnywhere Antivirus software plan for one device scored well in our tests. Webroot performed well overall in our tests, offers great customer service options and has some of the best antivirus features in the industry. Our Webroot antivirus review covers all personal plans on Android, Windows and iOS devices. It offers three plans: Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus, Webroot Security Plus with AntiVirus and Webroot Internet Security Complete with AntiVirus. Based in Broomfield, Colorado, Webroot is one of the more popular antivirus programs on the internet today. Webroot has been delivering antivirus solutions for computers for more than 24 years.
