- (2023-06-27) James Slover: pages freeze when on certain websites
- (2023-05-09) kelly peña: I cannot uninstall it, my uncle installed it because he thought it would be good but it pops up when im trying to work, it opens as a new window and interrupts me.
- (2023-01-26) Johnston & Associates: I don't know how this got installed on my computer but it now blocks me from doing things that I need to do. Add to that, I asked that someone contact me this morning and here I sit, 8 hours later with no contact. I can't find a phone number to call them except for the number for payment support. Imagine that!
- (2022-11-08) Cody Konno: SPAM! PHISHING! VIRUS! DO NOT DOWNLOAD! This extension automatically added itself to my Chrome browser and it won't remove from my extension. The extension collects sensitive data (passwords, personal/identifiying information) without your consent and is not transparent about what it does with YOUR info. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
- (2022-09-27) Nate Cregier: Can't uninstall it, don't know how it got installed in the first place
- (2022-08-15) Debbi House: The webroot green checkmarks are missing on chrome since my latest computer update, even though the extension is still activated.. Please fix this - I love the checkmarks!
- (2022-08-12) Victor Nasser: after update to the extension or chromium engine (broken in brave and chrome browsers), this extension is less than useful.
- (2022-08-09) Z-0N: Used this extension for a very long time to detect what sites would be potentially malicious and helped me stay safe. now it seems that whatever update they made to it completely broke it and its no longer functional, pretty disappointing. Choosing to use malwarebytes instead now.
- (2022-07-16) Josh Reed: Nope. It's like giardia, a parasite that lives in you forever. Never getting rid of it. Ever. Good luck with the digital runs with this extension.
- (2022-04-25) Gerald O: It messed up my computer. I do not recommend this Google chrome extension from webroot/opentext

- (2021-11-04) CDA Main Google Account Cortex Developer: Blocks needed push notifications and slows down localhost developments, would not recommend
- (2021-08-04) Ali Toygar Haykır: Yıllar önce kurduğum bu uzantıyı yıllardır kaldıramıyorum. Çok mutsuz ediyor. Webroot yeterli desteği vermiyor.
- (2021-05-23) Xías: Awful. Installed itself and declares websites malicious at random. It's basically useless piece of trash.
- (2021-05-21) Hawkwar2007 3: PLEASE GO AWAY WHY WONT YOU GO AWAY
- (2021-05-20) K D: It blocks Google translations of Japanese Twitter pages. Nice job guys.
- (2021-05-17) Ashley Powell: had to manually remove malware because this app was not detecting any of it. pretty useless.
- (2021-03-21) Jan Filipiak: I don't trust any Chrome extension that won't let me uninstall it!
- (2021-03-21) Kate Myers: I really liked this extension because it helped me stay away from unsafe websites. However, recently it has stopped working and only shows spinning circles instead of green checkmarks/red xs or nothing at all. I don't know why it isn't showing these anymore, and no one seems to know why when I ask.
- (2021-02-19) Dan MCCLUNG: I have a site that is not even e-commerce and suddenly I am getting the yellow caution which is causing me to get fewer hits.
- (2021-01-26) Jaqueline Arriaga: I say its great :) i may think it only works for pepole who have weebroot antivirus and to erase click on related/scroll all way down and click remove from chrome!
- (2021-01-25) UDM AGENCY: Best Antivirus easy and soft.its don't slow my pc.
- (2021-01-12) Emily Quealy: It works I guess. I have paid for actual Webroot security so it works fine. I was able to remove it (this is my personal laptop) just fine without any issues. I'm not sure why it is such a problem for others. It has never blocked me from a website although I don't often go to sketchy websites. It tends to mark websites as yellow for Caution quite often. It marked the Capitol One site and some Scholarship sites with the yellow. It shows green on many anime streaming websites which I would usually assume to be sketchy. I'm not sure if it actually works. Some of my college websites are even marked with a yellow.
- (2020-12-19) Milton Gonzalez: Unable to remove or delete this extension. I have reported this as abuse multiple times. If I don't want it I don't have to have it on my browser.
- (2020-12-07) hayd188: This doesn't sound like a bad extension, but it is annoying and it just doesn't make sense to have it automatically put on chrome with no way to get rid of it. I have been using chrome for a number of years and never had this problem until now. I AM the administrator of my account, so it would be nice if they could just let me delete the dang extension. I have submitted a report to google complaining about it, but I'm not sure what they will do.
- (2020-11-24) Fatima Neves: I want to know how to remove it from my computer.
- (2020-11-11) Michael A.: Works fine, doesn't cause any problems for me
- (2020-10-19) Nino: STAY AWAY! It is impossible to get rid of! Google search it, SOOOO many people are experiencing this infuriating problem. Do not download this extension!
- (2020-10-14) Nita Awatramani: Worst extension ever! How it got installed is the first mystery as I did not install it. Why I cannot get it uninstalled is another. It is blocking sites, causing disk to thrash, slows down downloads... what a mess. Someone fix this already!
- (2020-10-08) Lee Pitt: Is there anyone else who is just feeling like the company Webroot is just giving you the run around. I have looked and ticketed this even on their own site to try and find a reasonable solution to remove what frankly at this point is a virus on my pc. At this point i'm just honestly considering legal action. I gave neither consent nor authorization for this extension to be installed. I will be reasonable for only the remainder of the month of October after that i will consider it to be a matter to be dealt with in the courts.
- (2020-09-30) Tarık Toprak: silinmiyor
- (2020-09-26) Nate Sanchez: Can't uninstall it and it serves no function for me. Until I can uninstall this from my device I will consider this to be malware.
- (2020-09-23) Blair Cox: Purchased this product because a cybersecurity company I worked at once used it. But the Chrome plugin now only shows spinning load animation for all pages in Google. And lists sites I'm currently developing as risky. So take it all with a grain of salt really.
- (2020-09-22) Unofficial vg: Installed itself and is not easily removed.
- (2020-09-21) Ashley Blyth: If I give NO STARS the score would still be too high. Get off my computer.
- (2020-09-21) Michael Oyervides: Didn't add to Google and Google won't remove it.
- (2020-09-18) ana Romero: no me permite desinstalar esto deberia ser ilegal, me estan obligando al uso de algo que ni he querido yo
- (2020-09-17) Sharon Sweeney: How do I remove this? I did NOT download it. I keep trying to remove it or disable it with no result
- (2020-09-14) Dontfailthistime: I hate webroot so much. It has been on my PC since I got it and has slowed it down and prompted me with many updates and meaningless scans. My subscription was for 3 months yet this has been stuck on my laptop for years! Years! I have uninstalled the product went through system files and deleted every product. But its still stuck to my Chrome browser as an extension asking me for a validation key. Leave me alone!
- (2020-09-14) Pao RL: This program is malware in itself. Once installed on Chrome, it can never be permanently deleted. Never support this company, they are undercover hackers.
- (2020-09-14) ISO Awesome: Why Cant I uninstall the Chrome extention? I don't have webroot. Please tell me and I will remove rating
- (2020-09-14) Darlene Fike: It installed itself and is causing issues on my college website while I am trying to take exams, I WANT IT OFF!
- (2020-09-03) specite: How do i delete this? this sucks
- (2020-08-14) Scott Martinson: Cant uninstall the extension! Why?
- (2020-03-17) Stephen Miner: I most certainly didn't install this, but it is here, on my personal computer, "installed by enterprise policy", and I can't seem to get rid of it.
- (2020-03-02) Adam Ithiel: works like a charm :-) if it's stopping you from accessing a website, it's probably for a good reason :-P
- (2020-02-27) GuitarheroWWEduh: It doesn't even work anymore! I have my webroot subscription up to date and everything! HORRIBLE extension!
- (2020-01-15) Ram Javi L: Useless and can't be removed. After installing this app, pop up ads just can't stop appear on my screen
