A new year means a new and improved SecureAnywhere product from Webroot!
Believe it or not, as small as the SecureAnywhere 2012 product was, we’ve managed to shrink our installation size, installation time, and startup time for the new product. So now, customers get a crazy small, crazy light, and crazy fast security product with an array of added features and even stronger protection!
So what’s new?
Let’s start with the product offerings themselves.
- Our PC Mag Editors’ Choice-toting Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2013 returns packed with all the great features from the 2012 product plus added Mac Support, Firewall, antiphishing protection, and the powerful Identity Shield. Simply put, it’s the best value in antivirus protection.
- Formerly Webroot SecureAnywhere Essentials, our mid product has been reworked, refreshed, and renamed. Now sporting the Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security Plus title, users get the added benefits of password encryption and management, mobile device protection, and enhanced protection against viruses, spyware, and phishing attacks. *Unlike SecureAnywhere Essentials, SecureAnywhere Internet Security Plus doesn't include Backup and Sync functionality. However, current Essentials customers will be automatically upgraded to Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete and have access to the Backup and Sync feature for the duration of their subscriptions.*
- Our top-of-the-line product, Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete, is back and better than ever. Now including protection for up to five PC’s/Mac’s and five mobile devices standard, this all-in-one online security solution is built to protect all your devices, identity, and personal files in a compact yet powerful package. With an enhanced Backup and Sync feature that now gives users 25 GB of online backup space, the fan-favorite system cleaner to clear your temp files and free up space, and the added system analyzer feature that diagnoses system vulnerabilities and slowdown causes, it’s never been a better time to be a Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete user.
