AI is making scams harder to spot, so it's important to take some extra precautions to protect yourself. Webroot offers all kinds of digital safeguards, and it's currently offering up to 50% off its Essentials plans. With this deal, you can get signed up for as little as $30 per year. Just note that there's no set expiration for this offer, so you'll want to take advantage of these savings sooner rather than later.

The most basic plan offers protection for a single device and is currently 40% off, which drops the cost down to just $30 for your first year. You can also upgrade to a three-device plan for just $35 or five devices for $45, which are both 50% off the usual yearly cost.

Regardless of how many devices you choose, all three plans offer the same features and protections. In addition to antivirus protection and password management, the Essentials plan also offers advanced web filtering to warn you about potentially risky sites. Plus, it scans links and attachments for malware and flags phishing attempts in real time. It's also compatible with both Mac and PC devices, as well as phones, tablets and Chromebooks.

Why this deal matters

Scams and cybercrime are serious threats these days, and this Webroot deal is an easy way to protect yourself. Its Essentials plans offer tons of different safeguards like web scans and secure password management, and are a great value now that you can get signed up for half the usual cost.
