I HAVEN'T HAD ANY REAL PROBLEMS

I HAVEN'T HAD ANY REAL PROBLEMS, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MALWARE & SUCH.
I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT IT TAKES 6 TO 7 HOURS PER SCAN. OTHER THAN THAT I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS.

No problems for years

I've been using Webroot for over 8 years and have not had any significant incursions, viruses, Trojans etc. Only one episonde yrs ago did I have a freeze/ lockup due to a virus while shopping online and was directed towards a technician that was able to isolate and eliminate the problem remotely. This was excellent service to me!!
