I purchased Webroot thru Geek Squad at Best Buy. Don't see optimizer in my Android app as I do on computer. Do I need Security Premier for this at $14.99 additional?

Hello rfthomp,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community Forum,
 
I don't believe Webroot Android version has an Optimizer.
 
Please have a look at this Webroot Android help information HERE.
 
You could also call Best Buy  at 1-800-GeekSquad and ask them if you do get the Optimizer on your device. But I have not heard of this program on an Android.

Hi Sherry
 
As far as I can tell you are quite correct when you say that the Android Mobile Security app from Webroot does not have an Optimizer feature...at least I have not been able to find one in the Complete version.

Hi Baldrick! 
 
Thank you for confirming this. I know we have mentioned using CCleaner for an Android. But I personally don't feel comfortable using it on my device. Nether the less this could be mentioned in the Ideas & Exchange?

No worries...it is all about teamwork. ;)
 
From what I can see there is a 'native' optimiser function built into Android itself...but I have installed (on my work mobile...I have little choice as to what mobile OS I use :() & use CCleaner for Android and it does not seem to cause any issues...for whatever that is worth.
 
Personally I cannot see what the point would be of adding such a feature to the mobile version of WRSA...would just equate to bloatware in my humble opinion.

Yes Baldrick I do agree that WSAC on an Android device would become bloated and really unnecessary. You are right about that. I was just throwing that out there.;)
 
For all it is worth means alot to me Sir Baldrick . SoThank you for letting me know that you do use CCleaner. I may try it after all since it is installed on my device anyways. 😃
