The program did detect all our malware samples, though. Scan speeds at first appear only average, with Webroot Internet Security Complete taking around 22 minutes to examine 62MB of files on our Windows 7-based test PC. That sounded like a reasonable idea, so we set the program to work – and the results were quite revealing. Our initial PC Security alert, for example turned out to be a recommendation that we scan our PC for threats. Clicking a button explains the problem and provides more detail on what’s required.

When you first launch the program, each will display a warning icon indicating there’s some task that you must perform.

Its functions are divided into four sections: PC Security, Sync and Sharing, System Cleaner and Identity and Privacy. There’s plenty on offer here, then, but the program’s new Norton-style interface does a good job of keeping complexity at bay. But you also get a host of features to manage your online passwords and login data, privacy tools to remove your history in Windows and many third-party applications, a generous 10GB of free online storage space for file synchronisation and sharing, and a whole lot more.

So of course there’s strong antivirus protection, a firewall, spam filter and antiphishing protection. Webroot Internet Security Complete 2011 is an interesting security suite that delivers all the online protection tools you’d expect, and some that you really wouldn’t.
