Yes I am aware of that. And maybe they will get tested in one way or another, but simply not in the main tests as the rest of the vendors.

But I guess Joe can chime in on this and share the testing plan if there is one for Webroot.

We're still working on the details of this and have meetings coming up shortly to continue our work on it between both companies.

Yes we need some new marketing songs.
"We are too innovative to be testet and so on",
"We track changes and can rollback even days later, so no matter if malware is not detected in first places" (But..there are many things malware does in the meanwhile that can't be rolled back)

Joking beside: It's good for them to be not in the test anymore, so they can claim such things longer.

If you have some specific issue you're seeing, please send me a PM. Otherwise, see the quoted reply which explains that this isn't due to some limitation in WSA, just that it is different:

AV-Comparatives recognizes that Webroot’s approach to protecting the user (preventing unauthorized data transmission, combined with protocolling changes and reversing them where possible) would require a different test procedure which is not applied by any testing lab so far. Unfortunately, such a test could in some cases take several days for each single test case to be performed, making it almost impossible to perform a statistically valid test with results comparable with the ones of other security solutions. AV- Comparatives will work with Webroot to investigate the feasibility of developing a test that will assess SecureAnywhere’s protective abilities and allow for comparison with other products.
