The main screen does show your protection status, as well as statistics such as when the last scan was performed, how long you’ve been protected, and how many system events have been inspected since installation. The Webroot SecureAnywhere user interface is a little tricky to get around. The program does not attempt to install any extras, such as toolbars, nor does it try to change any of your settings.

It’s a one-click installation process, and it doesn’t require a reboot. Installing Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security 2013 is quick and painless. It had the fastest scan time of all the 2013 suites we tested, for both on-demand scans (58 seconds) and on-access scans (two minutes, 10 seconds). It added just half a second to startup time (as compared to a PC with no antivirus installed) and three seconds to shutdown time. While Webroot’s protection may not be top-notch, it’s a speedy program with little effect on performance. Avira Internet Security 2013 cleaned up 50 percent of infections, AVG cleaned up 60 percent, and the other suites cleaned up 70 percent or more. It managed to clean up all traces of infection 48.5 percent of the time-a lower-than-average result compared to other suites we’ve looked at recently.

In our system cleanup test, Webroot managed to detect 93.9 percent of infections and disable 81.8 percent of them. While this isn’t a bad false positive percentage (the test is out of over 250,000 files), some suites we’ve looked at recently had a perfect false positive rate. In our false positive test, Webroot flagged 14 known safe files as malicious. Webroot has a decent malware detection rate: It detected 99.9 percent of samples in our malware “zoo” detection test, which exposes an antivirus program to thousands of malware samples discovered within the past four months. Unfortunately, it let the 3.9 percent of unblocked attacks go completely unblocked (not just partially blocked), which meant that the system got infected 3.9 percent of the time. That’s a good result, but it’s not top-notch. In our real-world attack tests, Webroot completely blocked 96.2 percent of attacks. Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security Plus 2013 ($30 for one year, for up to three PCs, as of 12/19/12) is a super speedy security suite and it’ll keep your system relatively safe, but suffers from a cluttered interface and too many advanced settings.
