Webroot Overview
Webroot (Webroot SecureAnywhere) is a consumer security product for Windows known for an unusually small, fast, cloud-based approach. Rather than storing large signature databases locally, it performs most analysis in the cloud, which makes the client tiny, quick to install, and light on system resources, with very fast scans. It provides real-time protection against malware, phishing, and ransomware, with identity and privacy features in higher tiers. Its cloud model is its defining trait, appealing to users who want minimal performance impact. It is a paid product with multiple tiers. Because definitions live in the cloud, it stays current without large local updates, and it includes a firewall that monitors outbound connections.
