    Windows Defender or Webroot Geek Squad


    Hello, I just paid a lot of money $49 to renew my Webroot subscription. But I know Win 10 has Windows Defender. I want to know should I cancel the renewal w/ Webroot and just go with Defender? What's the difference between the two? Should I save my money? Opinions.

    :)

    I have Webroot. Is this necessary or is Windows Defender enough?

    Did you upgrade a Win7 computer or a Win8.1 computer [PICK ONE] to Win10?

    Is the Webroot application still installed and if so, when does your current subscription expire?

    By any chance did you purchase the computer at a Best Buy store and if so, did their Geek Squad sell you & install the Webroot application?

    Geek Squad not able to login my Microsoft Acct

    My Dell computer is currently being looked at by the Geek Squad. I do not know what version I have on it....possible 10. But Geek Squad cannot log in to my Microsoft account to work on it. They have the correct email address and password. Why can't they?
