What will you play first on it?
Last night I played some warframe, I was getting a constant 75 FPS (and kill counts, headshot counts, etc) was hysterically fun.
Nice - I've been hearing good things about Warframe but haven't had a chance to check it out yet.

You should, its a ton of fun, and its not a constant grind (like D3)

My new laptop running WebRoot SA (graciously provided by @Nic )
I have to say the install was insanely fast, and the scan only took a minute to complete.
How do you like Webroot? We deployed it this week to take care of a Zepto infection, and it seemed VERY easy and user friendly. How well does it work when there is no internet?

It's a 100 times better than McAfee (freaking crapware)

re: no internet - Webroot defaults to monitoring any new exe using the local heuristics until it can get back online. That way if it's determined to be malicious it can roll back any changes that new process has made.

seems like a nice compromise on a cloud AV

Oh Webroot is an amazing product. If you are thinking of getting it, do try it out and give it a run for it's money.

I'm having really good results with Webroot too!

Unfortunately we just renewed our horrible Kaspersky since we didnt have time to properly test a new AV in our environment :due to all the major projects we had at the time

Webroot is tha sh*t!!! It's by far the lightest footprint of any AV product, and it just plain works. And it looks good on that badass new rig!

Hit of @nic and see what webroot can do to fix that. Don't just assume that all is lost. Webroot might be able to bail you out.

They already spent the $$$ for Kaspersky, they wont replace it until renewal time.

We have done contract buyouts before. Let me know if you want to talk to someone here.

Right, and I'm saying that that is not necessarily a factor. If they are intentionally throwing money and protection away, well nothing is going to help with that. But that they already spent money is not a factor. Not necessarily, anyway.

Or you just wait out the Kaspersky contract and then check us out come renewal time. I mean, it's not like you're on Symantec - Kaspersky is at least decent

Yea thats what im planning, I absolutely hate Kaspersky's management. Exclusions arent even consistent across all of their modules. Mid Sized company = mid sized budget

But did it protect against the current issue? Decent... but decent enough?

I dont understand how it wouldnt cost money to switch to Webroot. IT hours cost - I could probably make it work. IT hours cost + new software cost = unfeasible

This is why I'm trying to not have you just write off not checking on what is best. It is VERY common for AV vendors, Webroot specifically and they've said this in this thread in response to you, to not charge you for replacing your current AV. Your belief that there is new software cost is totally unfounded. There is no guarantee that it is free, but there is no reason to assume that it is not. You need to let Webroot work with you and not just write off not looking at it out of hand.
