2023-11-16 Chris Using the extension in standalone mode on my mac because WSA is useless on MacOS. Despite the keycode being registered with my carbonite/webroot account, the extension sends a notification dozens of times per day asking me to create an account. There is no way to disable notifications from the extension, and the notification itself isn't actionable (e.g. you can't click on it to load the place to even register). It's insanely annoying and support doesn't care that it is doing this.
2023-06-08 Gordon Have used Webroot for everything virus/malware related for going on 8 years. No complaints until this past year when the WR extension for Edge stops working due to corruption and can neither be repaired nor removed. The only way to deal with it is to contact WR support if you're a customer or use Revo Uninstaller Pro's Browser Extension removal tool if you're not. The extension works seamlessly in the background in both Firefox and Google Chrome. But it's not even a 1 star in Edge.
2023-03-16 Hendel Horrible, doesn't let me download a specific game I want. I can't remove it and this is horrible
2023-02-23 Colton -999 trillion stars web root sucks Littreal, I can't remove it i want to install mince craft and I can it's so dumb.
2022-12-18 John Like the other reviewers I can't seem to get rid of it. Yet. Haven't given up hope. This is a component of Webroot antivirus, which until now I was happy with as a product. Now I'm being blocked from sites that Google Services wants to refer me to (even an AMAZON sponsor link!) just because Mama Webroot says no.
2022-12-17 Margaret Zero stars, have not been able to remove this from our computer. Disgusting.
