Yes but...

I like Webroot. It's what I use. However, they classify tracking cookies, which are relatively innocuous, as spyware, and this would skew the statistics quite a bit. Sure, you might not want them on your computer, but there is a big difference between a tracking cookie and, say, a keylogger. According to the report, we still have a trojan infection rate of 31% - which is considerable - but not so alarming. Webroot should have made this distinction early in their report.
