WEBROOT SOFTWARE NAMED TO CMP CHANNEL GROUP’S CRN CHANNEL BESTSELLERS LIST

Webroot Software, Inc., a leading provider of Internet security software for the consumer, enterprise and SME markets, today announced that it has been named to the CRN “Channel Bestsellers List” based on the success Webroot Channel Edge Partners have derived from selling Spy Sweeper® Enterprise, Webroot’s award-winning anti-spyware software. The CRN Channel Bestsellers List is the first comprehensive list that recognizes the most popular technology products being sold through the channel.

The success of Webroot’s Channel Edge Partner Program and the resulting channel sales have greatly contributed to the company’s tremendous growth rate. In 2006, the company nearly doubled its revenue generated from channel sales, and in Q4 2006 alone, the company recruited 123 new Channel Edge partners. Webroot also signed a distribution agreement with Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), the world’s largest technology distributor, that has helped further extend Webroot’s reach within the channel.

“We applaud Webroot for being named one of our Channel Bestsellers,” said Dan Dignam, vice president and publisher, CRN. “Based on our research, Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise is one of the leading products sold through the channel today.”

CRN partnered with the NPD Group, the world’s leading provider of technology market research information, to compile the data. The CRN Channel Bestsellers List represents the top best-selling technologies in 23 technology categories, the leading Channel Bestseller in each category, and the Top Growth Bestseller with the greatest net revenue gain over 2005. Webroot was named one of the Top Three Bestsellers in the Internet Filters and Blockers category.

To further bolster its lineup of Internet security offerings for the channel, Webroot introduced Webroot® SME Security in late 2006. Designed specifically for SMEs looking for an easy-to-manage Internet security program, Webroot SME Security is a comprehensive threat solution that incorporates best-of-breed anti-virus technology from Sophos® into Webroot’s superior anti-spyware software.

“Channel sales increasingly represent a significant portion of our overall revenue, and we credit our valued Channel Edge partners for this,” said Mike Irwin, COO,Webroot Software, Inc. “Being named to the CRN Channel Bestsellers List honors their hard work and commitment to protect customers from costly, detrimental malware and spyware attacks.”
