@Nic I may have to bring this up at the Cincinnati Spicecorp meeting next week.
Nice - let me know if you want any swag or giveaways. Richard does a lot of SpiceCorps sponsorship so I can ping him as well.
It's funny you should mention swag. Our Sp***corp had a Webroot call back in Dec. I don't recall the name of the sales guy but he took everyone's address and mentioned they were going to mail out shirts. To the best of my knowledge no one ever got one.

@Dashrender I was only half paying attention about that part of our presentation from ours. i do not think anyone got anything.

Omaha, Ne on or about Dec 6.
Was it this one? http://community.spiceworks.com/meeting/show/759
I'll check with Richard and see what happened. -
OK I was only 3 weeks off.. yeah - that was the one. and Frankly the reason why I really like Webroot today (that was before you joined them - now I like them doubly)

I checked with Richard and he says sorry for dropping the ball on getting you the shirts. If you can PM or email me ([email protected]) your size and address he'll get them out to you. If there's anyone else waiting on theirs just have them contact me too.
Glad you like us and hopefully I won't spoil that

@duffney did you ever get your shirt?

Sorry for being a bit late to the party. I'm quite a fan of Webroot. The low system utilization is quite impressive. It's quite unobtrusive. The IE plugin's a little slow, but if you have a gateway filtering device, it's less needed. What really impressed me was how quick they are to react to new threats. On average, they protect against new threats within 3 hours of my submissions.

@scottalanmiller I agree. Since Microsoft is still selling MSSE as the protection in their Intune product line they make sure it stays relevant or people might leave Intune.
System Center Endpoint Protection (which is bundled with Intune) is the same platform as Security Essentials, but has some minor boosts to it. I like Intune for the system management aspects of it, and choose to use Webroot instead of SCEP. SCEP's much better than nothing, and I've seen it outperform some "leading competitors" during deployments, but it's only "good enough", which really isn't good enough as far as I'm concerned.

I used to use Webroot about 5 years ago, finished about 3 years ago.
We used it mainly for Web Filtering but we had so many issues.
Two main AV's I have liked using is Sophos and Kaspersky.
Kaspersky's v10 was killing out desktops, including Windows 7 with 4GB ram and i5's, which is shocking.
Didn't find a replacement as left the company but Kaspersky did promise that it could all be sorted.
Issues where happening until end of 2013.
Back to topic. I found Web Root customer service shocking, but might be different now.

@Dashrender YMMV but there was a noticeable decrease in spam using O365.

In a good way?
You should probably give it another shot now, since we went through the big revamp 3 years ago. Webroot got rid of a lot of the dead wood at that time, so CS and support are better now. -

About 3 years ago - Webroot bought Prevx in 2010, so that's when it started.

About 3 years ago - Webroot bought Prevx in 2010, so that's when it started.
In that case, if anyone hasn't tried Webroot since then, they'd be in for an incredibly pleasant shock. I ran Webroot with Antivirus back in 2008, and was not impressed, but can't speak highly enough about the current product.
-
I agree with Alex. Back in 2008 it was like every other AV out there. But when they scraped it and went all cloud based, super light weight... man it's pretty awesome now!
