Outsmart scams with Scam Protection
Scams are getting harder to spot. Webroot's Scam Protection helps you identify suspicious messages and potential scams before you fall for them. Explore the seven features that make up Webroot's Scam Protection below.
Feature spotlight:
ID Check
Using proprietary software, ID Check helps you verify someone's identity before you initiate a transaction with them. Helps prevent payment scams commonly seen on Facebook Marketplace, Paypal, Venmo, and more.
-
Before engaging in an transaction with someone you don't know online, share a private link through your Webroot account to start a verification process.
-
Through this link, the recipient will complete a few steps to verify that they are who they claim to be.
-
Once the review is complete, Webroot will provide you with a risk assessment, so you'll know if it's safe to proceed.
Additional features:
Scam check
Scans texts, images, screenshots, video files, URLs, and more to see whether it is safe or a scam. Includes protection against AI deepfakes.
Scam reimbursement3
If scam check and ID check fail to catch a scam, you're backed by up to $25k in scam reimbursement3.
24/7 expert support
If you have a question or feel unsure if something is a scam, call our 24/7 hotline for expert assistance from real people, not bots.
Web Threat Shield
Search result annotation that shows you what links are safe with a Webroot green checkmark. Available across major search platforms (Google Chrome, Safari, etc.) and compatible with Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices.

Checks to see if a SMS link is fraudulent before you tap it. Accessible for Android and iOS through integration with the Webroot Mobile Security app.

Webroot Customer Reviews
Powered by BazaarVoice
Highly recommend Webroot
“Using Webroot for several years and it’s an affordable and reliable service. No issues with hackers etc. Agents are available for help if needed. Highly recommend.”
- Donna P.
Very satisfied
“Been most satisfied with Webroot. Regular scans and constant surveillance are protective. Several threats have been removed. Very satisfied with this product and its protection.”
- Phyllis G.
Worry-Free
“I've used Webroot for about 10-years; on multiple PCs and cellphones at home. Myself, my spouse, and our teenage grandson. We try to be careful online and avoid the obvious hazards, but we live worry-free knowing Webroot is there to cover our slip-ups. The "bad actors" are one step ahead of us, but Webroot seems to be at least one step ahead of them!”
- Jim Goodhue
Peace of mind
“I replaced Norton 360 for this because the Norton was too intrusive and always trying to upsell its other products. The price was 3x what Webroot is and the protection is the same or better.”
- Jim T.
Safeguard your devices and identity from viruses and scams with Webroot's award-winning protection5.
