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.
2022-12-01	Michael	This is malware. Once you install it, you can never remove it. It's a nightmare. It isn't "protecting" anything. It is bad software and I can't understand how or why Microsoft allows it to be here, available, when you CAN'T REMOVE IT! My Edge browser is now hopelessly infected with this thing. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS.
2022-10-16	Walter	seems like it works but definitely not user friendly.

2022-01-05	Logan	Amazing
2022-01-05	Vince	You can remove it, it is possible. Great product.
2021-10-27	Keshawn	ANYONE THAT NEEEDS IT, FOUND THE ANSWER FINALLY! If you deleted it already re-install the Webroot SecureAnywhere app. Click Advanced Settings, and go to Access Control. Click "Allow Uninstallation by non-administrative users." Save and then proceed to the app screen on Edge Add-ons. Click remove then delete the app.
2021-10-16	brandy	I cant even remove it \. hi /. \|
2021-10-13	Seth	As a 13 year veteran in information technology I not only feel comfortable deploying this Addon/Extension but I have personally seen it block malicious sites numerous time on users machines. Note that the sites in question were NOT caught by our firewall's paid security service. As with every computer program it has occasionally had issues. Overall though a solid recommendation .
2021-10-12	Randi	This this pure garbage! After continuously having to fight with this mess, all of the problems it causes and all of the time it wastes I'm moving to Mac! Enough of this nonsense.
