Webroot SecureAnywhere differences from traditional security suites / offerings

Maybe webroot should consider a HIPS module for its product in the future.

Being fair mate we did have this problem my girlfriend and I. I contacted you about it a while ago where webroot did not automatically replace explorer.exe. It removed it, causing windows to be nonfunctional and the webroot software being soft locked to a point where nothing could replace explorer.exe as webroot would not uninstall and had to be manually removed through a round about method also where webroot continued to lock explorer.exe and not allow it to be fixed or replaced.

It does happen, as we did talk about it.

Yes, this was a case where Webroot was replacing system files from the cloud incorrectly (instead of allowing a system file to be replaced with journaling) but this has been fixed and is independent of the overall monitoring.

Yep, sorry to call you out. I only said anything because you said "never" which i'm sure you did not say to hide my case, just had to chime in and correct.
