IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY
Video: Scans
For legacy endpoint security vendors, the solution to more malware is more software. Consequently, bloated clients conflict with other software and grind CPUs to a halt during painfully long scans. Webroot takes the burden off a user's machine by making the cloud do the heavy lifting. The lightweight cloud-client leverages Webroot real-time collective intelligence to reduce scan times to less than a minute and eliminate signature updates entirely.

PREVENTING SOFTWARE CONFLICTS »In an attempt to keep pace with today’s changing threat landscape, legacy endpoint security vendors have packed their products with an array of disparate features. These bloated clients can cause conflicts with other software. The ultra-light yet powerful Webroot agent runs conflict-free alongside other software, including other security software. |

SHORTENING INSTALLATION TIME »Traditional endpoint security software is time-consuming to install. The ultra-light Webroot client—98% smaller than the average endpoint antivirus client—and cloud-based approach means installs take just seconds, and once installed the software requires no signature updates. |

REDUCING SCAN TIMES »With traditional endpoint security, scans can take 45 minutes or longer. During this time, cumbersome client software drags down system performance. The Webroot cloud/client architecture improves both productivity and security by cutting scan times to less than two minutes. |

MINIMIZING SYSTEM IMPACT »The huge clients of legacy solutions hog memory and burn up to 90% of the CPU, rendering most endpoints unusable during scans. With the ultra-light Webroot cloud-client’s minimal CPU load, users notice little or no impact on PC performance, which improves productivity and eliminates the need to schedule scans during off hours. |

ELIMINATING RELIANCE ON SIGNATURES »Signature-based solutions must push down huge daily updates that tax network performance or increase the risk of corrupting files and crashing the system. Webroot real-time collective intelligence eliminates the need for signatures and updates entirely, improving productivity while decreasing the risk of infections due to missed scans or delayed updates. |
