webroot internet security essentials

Have just been given this by my dad has a month left on it 3 user licence thought i would give it a go seems very light is detection good??

 

I have no experience with it but according to this http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2366659,00.asp - the answer should be YES

 

As far as detection,and not asking about the firewall,read this

I use it on a couple of laptops.Not the lightest in the world,but I like it a lot.

 

As far as I know, Webroot uses the Sophos engine, which is quite light and still has decent detection rates. Nothing bad with it at all! It's as good as any other anti-malware application. Prevx aside, of course (a highly personal thought).

 

Long ago, word "XP" was attached to everything. These days "XP" seems to be replaced by "essentials". *Sigh*...

 

well i ahve been a big fan of kaspersky but just got a 5 user licence for webroot from e bay for £8 gonna use this for a year see how it goes.

 

I am sure you will be quite happy.
