    That sounds like a biased view @Baldrick :D. Joking!

    Well, anything can be viewed as biased, I suppose...but it is more the way that the bias is presented that probably is most telling...in this case it is suitably appropriate...but then again, I would be called biased for saying that...:):argh:

    Maybe this has been asked. Too much to plow through. As a general rule one would not run two firewalls simultaneously, however I am thinking Webroot firewall and Malwarebytes Firewall Control play well together. Right or wrong?

    I also run both WSA (beta) and Malwarebytes Premium without any problems. :)

    Wait. Does Malwarebytes Premium contain the Firewall Control?

    Not sure about Malwarebytes Firewall Control? But WSA's Firewall is only outbound and should be used with Windows Firewall https://docs.webroot.com/us/en/home...wall%20%2F%20Web%20Shield%20Protection|_____1 or some other inbound firewall to get full inbound and outbound protection. Personally I use WSA and Windows Firewall and Glasswire Firewall Lifetime which is an outbound firewall as well.

    Simultaneously?

    running WSA v 9.0.26.61 and i cannot find a place to create a scheduled scan for a selected hard drive.

    I see there is a scan schedule which have set to daily but i want to set one to scan my other os (XP) from the win7 that WRSA is present.
    Is this possible or a limitation of WRSA?

    I needed to seletct another hard drive but there seems to be no option for that

    Maybe what I am about to describe is currently only possible on the beta version (??) but I can select any drive for scanning by going to the GUI and then selecting and clicking:
    1. the cog to the right of PC Security, then...
    2. the Custom Scan button under the Scan my Computer button, then...
    3. the Add File / Folder button in the new window that opens
    Then opens yet another window with the title Browse for a folder or file. Here I can see This PC, underneath which I can see and select C: which is my SSD boot drive, D: which is the data sector on my HDD disk, E: which is the recovery sector on my HDD disk, and F: which is my DVD drive.

    Can you see the same and if so, is this what you are looking for? Or am I perhaps misunderstanding something??

    He wants all that but be able to schedule the scans. On-Demand is not an issue.

    Yes, I understand that in his first post @trott3r says he wants to schedule a scan on another drive, but I thought he was saying in his second post that he thought he couldn't even manually scan another hard drive. But as I say, perhaps I misunderstood.

    Anything new to the beta worth noting?

    Hmm, still on v9.0.26.61 here (probably need to be more patient during the roll-out) ?

    Saw the change log, what are these "Efficacy Enhancements" of which they speak? Just something under the hood we can't tweak?
