Would this program conflict with Microsoft Security Essentials? If so would you recommend I turn off before installing Webroot?

Pretty complete system. Its not really a good Idea to have two internet security software running at the same time.

My virus protection (McAfee) is interfering with the backups as Erik noted below. I'm not sure how to correct it. However, I wouldn't count on Clickfree device still working. I plan on contacting Clickfree to figure out what's going on. In the meantime I'm backing up using a flash drive...sux.

I have Microsoft 2003 - and it hasn't caused any problem with the Spanish program (but there is no interaction between them that I know of).

I don't know about Kapersky, but SecureAnywhere runs just fine along side McAfee. McAfee did notice it was there and said something weekly stated about it not being wise (or words to that effect) to run two antivirus programs at the same time. That being said SecureAnywhere found and dealt with trogans and keystroke recorders that McAfee never detected. I work in a school district with old computers running XP and using a flashdrive to transfer yearbook related materials to my home computer is where my difficulties have arisen.

I doubt it. It's not supported by MS any longer and has greater vulnerabilities with each passing day. You can contact the vendor and ask directly.

I got the XP version of this netbook back in July. I'm drawing a blank on whether any virus software was included. I'm tempted to say there was a demo version of Norton. Any anti-virus software should work. I'm currently running BitDefender 2010, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it. I had no trouble with 2009 with the Windows 7 RC. 2010 is giving me frequent Report Wizards to report what made BitDefender encountered a critical error - on both my desktop and netbook. It seems to be Flash or Java related. I've also had serious trouble with PC Tools. It would automatically start scanning in the background and not release resources - more than one version. Made my desktop crawl. Solution was always to re-install. I would recommend going to different web sites and try out demo versions of software. With BitDefender, I did use the trial version of 2009. When 2010 was released, my subscription included the upgrade. However, if Windows 7 says there is a compatibility issue or known issue with any software, you better listen. When I was using Windows 7 RC, MicroTrend didn't have a Win7 version yet, and Win7 warned me of known issues. I'm glad Windows 7 has a system restore to restore the PC to a point before changes where made. ...like before installing MicroTrend Anti-Virus. :) They do have a Windows 7 version now.

It did not come with any 3rd party antivirus programs. I however use Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 7 (free with valid Windows copy).

Yes , but it's only free for a short time. After the free trial was over, I uninstalled it and turned on and updated windows defender.

I haven't tried with these 2 products, but it's been my experience multiple antivirus program running concurrently is a bad idea.

You should *have* a reputable antivirus app on your machine, but Microsoft's Windows Defender is acceptable if you would like a free, basic, easy to maintain software. Please also read the following article: Tools for a Safer PC - Krebs on Security - http://krebsonsecurity.com/tools-for-a-safer-pc/ (Note that "Microsoft Security Essentials" is now known as "Windows Defender" which I referenced above.)

I'll suggest you get rid of all you write of with the exception of IE. Leave Trend Miro as well and seek out Microsoft Security Essentials. Install Firefox as default but keep IE on board for access to MS updates. If you need an Office Suite loaded to your net-book, seek Open Office.org or consider using the cloud apps available from Google, Windows Live or Adobe

Hi Jun,Yes I have... and erased it very quickly!Here's what happened. I installed the programme as instructed. It worked beautifully... until I tried to start up one day and my PC replied it had to do something as apparently I had switched it off incorrectly... Usually this is quite harmless and windows starts up without any problems... but you've guessed it: not when the system has been crypted. After having tried everything, I had to use the Rescuedisk I had made to decrypt my laptop... which took a cool 26 hours!So... I have been cured and removed TrueCrypt as soon as the laptop worked again! Hi Jun,Yes I have... and erased it very quickly!Here's what happened. I installed the programme as instructed.

This comes with ROG software which contains Java. Don't do the quick install and you can skip the installation of the Java software if you do not want it. I ran my machine without this software for at least a month with no issues, but accidentally added it when I had to reload Windows. It's less obtrusive Java, but I truly don't think you need it for security reasons or otherwise.

You are welcome! I spent all night lastnight trying to fathom it! I gave up and decided to start afresh today! You do indeed need to disable the entire antivirus/firewall software! Have nothing running to succeed! Merry Christmas Matt! Let's hope the lil ones spend as much time playing with it! :)

Yes, This software is compatible with Windows XP. It has Windows XP listed as one of the requirements to run this Antivirus Software. I highly recommend Webroot and if you have any other questions I'd be glad to answer them, hope this helped! &#9786;

When I Purchased Webroot, I called the customer service (1-888-502-1138), and they in turn sent me to tech support who downloaded and checked my computer for me! The customer service and tech support were very professional and there is not a long wait time! I hope this helps to solve any issues with your new Webroot!

Mine included Norton, but it was out of date and I had problems the first week. Made the mistake of clicking on the "Games", and ended up with a lot of junk, nothing terribly malicious, but annoying and slowed everything down. Dumped the Norton and installed Kaspersky (which I had had on my old computer) and MalewareBytes.
