Works well for me, and causes no issues for me. I see numerous comments about how it's impossible to uninstall from Chrome, but there's a big blue button that says, "remove from Chrome," which takes all of about 15 seconds to perform, if you don't want it. I find it to work well, so I appreciate the extension of my Webroot program.
