Security - Complete 3.7.1.7668

Camo green is a color scheme choice that I would like to see made more often. Lately Internet security apps have become too flamboyant. Bright colors, fancy diagonal lines and big animated circles are apparently a requirement for any decent security program. Indeed eye candy can be a selling point but unfortunately this trend makes apps look like they were made for children. But maybe that's the target demographic, what do I know...

Webroot SecureAnywhere looks like a very mature application. Without any bells and whistles, all of the tools are neatly stacked into a menu while general information is displayed clearly.

The Realtime Shield and Web Shield are proactive tools that react to any suspicious files and search engine links that might not have your computer's well being in mind. The Firewall complements Windows Firewall so no need for customization.

Identity protection takes care of online phishing and makes sure you don't get a case of trojans.

Creating an account with Webroot unlocks the ability of backing up data to a degree of 25 gigabytes online. This allows you to sync the data between your various devices. Online you can also save your web passwords and use them on your devices.

SecureAnywhere also features a couple of tools for system management. For once it can delete temporary files of browsers and the system. It can also analyze the current system status such as anti-virus, memory and stability.

Conclusion
