Ease of Use: Simple Enough for Most Users Webroot is always up-to-date, and it requires none of your system resources to remain that way. Increasing your subscription to one of the higher tiers (Internet Security Plus or Internet Security Complete) add only incremental improvements such as mobile device support, a password manager, or secure online storage. Even the lowest tier Webroot antivirus (Webroot Antivirus) protects from these threats. Users benefit from this awareness in enhanced protection from viruses, malware, Trojans, rootkits, polymorphic threats, cryptojacking, ransomware attacks, and even malicious IP addresses and phishing. Those findings also inform how the company continues to improve the Webroot products. The company studies trends in malware and releases a report each year to share its findings.
