We looked to see how well each device and plan handled:
Malware — Manually downloaded malware, drive-by downloads and compressed malware
Phishing — Using phishing standards devised by the Anti-Malware Testing Standard Organization, we wanted to see if dangerous websites would open despite running the Webroot software.
We do not recommend this type of malware testing on your devices. Testing antivirus software can result in malware corrupting your files and devices while stealing valuable information from you. Our tests are performed in a safe environment by professionals.
How Webroot Performed on Android Devices
The Android SecureAnywhere Mobile app blocked and removed all malware-infected files we tried to download from AMTSO’s testing page using our LG G6. The Android app, however, did not block our custom-created malware from being downloaded and installed, but it did block it from running after it was downloaded.
Webroot successfully detected and defended against Trojan virus threats.
Webroot’s SecureWeb mobile browser did a good job blocking AMTSO’s phishing sites, but it failed to block our custom phishing in Gmail.
We encountered more problems using the Chrome browser. The antivirus protection didn’t work all the time, and we managed to install the AMTSO malware test file. It took about 30 minutes for Webroot to detect the file.
With Webroot’s Internet Security Plus plan, we were able to successfully download a malware test file from AMTSO, which means Webroot’s detection failed.
Additionally, the manual scan of our file system didn’t detect our custom malware files as being malicious in our “Downloads” folder, but it did detect AMTSO’s files. We found the web protection to be average. Sometimes suspicious sites, ads and popups were blocked, but not every time. The SecureWeb browser offered better protection than Chrome when visiting websites, but the online defense was still only average.
