Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete 2013

By Neil J. Rubenking

Just what goes into a security suite? Some vendors pack in all the expected components and add backup and tuneup, creating a kind of mega-suite. Others extend protection to Macs and mobile devices, for multi-platform protection. Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete 2013 manages to do both in a package that's unbelievably small.

Your $79.99 subscription lets you install Webroot protection on any combination of five PCs, Macs, or Android devices. It also includes 25 GB of hosted online backup, accessible from any of your devices. Like Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security Plus 2013 it offers password management powered by LastPass, and like Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2013 its antivirus protection topped PCMag's hands-on tests.

Fast Installation, Quick Scan
Webroot's installer is less than a megabyte in size; many competing products weigh in at well over 100 MB. Actual installation is almost instantaneous, but the installer also spends a little time optimizing the product's configuration for your system and running a full scan.

Some malicious programs actively work to prevent installation of security. Gettting some products installed on my twelve malware-infested systems has required days of back-and-forth with tech support. Not so withWebroot; it installed with only a bare minimum of help from tech support, and its fast scan let me complete the malware removal test in a single day.

Excellent Antivirus
Webroot doesn't rely on a database of file signatures to identify malicious programs. Rather, it matches file attributes and behaviors against an online database. This approach proved effective in my malware-blocking test. Webroot identified 100 percent of the threats and blocked them from installing on the test system, earning 9.9 of 10 possible points. For full details, see my review of Webroot's entry-level antivirus. The chart below shows how the competition matches up. For a full explanation of my testing process, see How We Test Malware Blocking.

In my malware removal test, Webroot shared the top score of 6.6 points with Norton Internet Security (2013) . Kaspersky Internet Security (2013) and AVG Internet Security 2013 were close behind with 6.5 points. The article How We Test Malware Removal explains my testing and scoring process.

Because Webroot doesn't work the same way most antivirus products do, it isn't compatible with some independent lab tests. False positives have also caused problems. By contrast, Kaspersky and Bitdefender Total Security 2013 get top marks in all the tests I follow. For more about the independent testing labs, see How We Interpret Antivirus Lab Tests.

Aphid resistance in black raspberries

ScienceDaily (Oct. 31, 2012) ? There's good news for fans of black raspberries: A U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientist and his commercial colleague have found black raspberries that have resistance to a disease-spreading aphid.

Agricultural Research Service (ARS) horticulturist Chad Finn with the agency's Horticultural Crops Research Unit in Corvallis, Ore., and colleague Michael Dossett of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada are the first to find and report black raspberry resistance to the large raspberry aphid.

ARS is USDA's chief intramural scientific research agency, and this research supports the USDA priority of promoting international food security.

The researchers screened seedlings from 132 wild black raspberry populations for aphid resistance. According to Finn, strong resistance was found in three of these populations -- one each from Ontario, Maine, and Michigan. Aphid resistance in the Ontario and Maine populations seems to be controlled by multiple genes, while resistance in the Michigan population is governed by one dominant gene.

Identifying these genes makes it easier for breeders to incorporate aphid resistance into commercial black raspberry cultivars.

Aphid control is important because fruit production is severely impacted by black raspberry necrosis virus, which is transmitted by the large raspberry aphid. This and other aphids are important virus vectors in North American black raspberries.

Although breeding for aphid resistance has been recognized as an important tool for protecting red raspberries from viral infection, this is the first report of aphid resistance in black raspberry, according to Finn.
