Does this version have the same speed and low footprint of the gamer AV?

I have been using the gamer version of Webroot, but I am confused.
I was going tobuy the Internet Security Plus version because of the added Password manager feature.
However, I can't determine if the the Plus version is as fast and low memory as the gamer version.
Or is the gamer version running a different way that the Plus version doesn't/cant?
Should I stick with the gamer version and get a seperate password manager program?

Hi Wohlever
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
All that the Gamer version has over the standard AV version is that it adds the System Optimizer feature (a traces & temp file cleaner a la CCleaner). There should be no different in speed or the way that the version run as all versions use the same base.
 
If you go Internet Security Plus you get the Password Manager but no System Optimizer. If you go for the Complete version you get the Password Manager, System Optimizer and the Backup & Sync feature for online file backups & synchronisation.
 
I hope that helps?

Yes it does.
So basically the complete version is the one I want if I want everything the gamer version has
and I want the added features of password manager, etc?
Does the complete version also make sure it is compatible with new games like the gamer AV version does?

Yep! The gamer is like the base AV with the addition of the System Optimizer. They run the same AV engine and talk to the same database. Complete will give you everything including the password manager, plus you also get 25GB of online storage for the Backup & Sync feature.

In terms of "complete version also make sure it is compatible with new games like the gamer AV version does"...that is a good question. ;)
 
I believe that it does as (i) all versions of WSA use the same core functionality when it comes to scanning & protection & (ii) the key thing about the Gamer version is that it allows one to clean performance sapping detritus from your hard disk & Registry.
 
But it may be worth checking on this point with our excellent Community Manager, ? ;)
 
EDIT: I see you responded before I even had time to conjure you up, Nic...:D
