2014 Products have been released v8.0.4.17

Same here...

 

Notice what Joe said here earlier in this thread.

TH

 

Ah yes, missed that. The devil's in the details.

Thanks

 

Ah, here's the quote I was looking for...

Joe, will these changes to come soon bring about any considerable changes to the GUI or more importantly will they add or change any settings/options at how it all is packaged now, or is it more of a backstage change?

Just asking to know if I should hold off on making my setting file backups and screenshots.

 

Looking very good, only took a couple of mins familiarise myself with it - No problems so far, an excellent update!

 

A scheduled scan suddenly is showing two active threats, which I don't consider a problem...These are old files that have been on the system a long time. How do I clear the exclamation mark in the WSA tray icon.

 

Should this new version detect any of the EICAR files before they are downloaded?

I am not seeing any detection with Chrome, IE, Firefox or Opera.

Windows 7, 64-bit and no other security software running in real-time.

 

The eicar.com file is detected when it is executed.

 

Just tried the submit file...looks good. Back to sleep...

 

Good Afternoon! Just updated my Account at Webroot...and had to re-install WSA Security Plus. Was delighted in receiving the new Version. This is in two words...Freakin Amazzzzzzzzzzing! Lol. Webroot in my opinion is a Galaxy ahead of it's Competitors...Job Well done...too all the Men and Women at Webroot. Sincerely...Securon

 

Thanks!

 

Wow, that does look good! I hadn't looked at it myself in a while

 

It will also detect it on-download, but not just when browsing to the EICAR website. Some vendors do this, but the website isn't malicious.

 

You can change the files to 'Allow' under "Block / Allow" files under PC Security and scan again to clear it.

 

I replied in the other thread as well, but you're safe to back up now - the options will remain the same.

 

I got no alert on download hence testing the execution of said file.(Using Windows 7, Firefox.)

 

An update on this: I have tested again since my earlier post, and the WSA alert does appear after downloading is completed. It just didn't happen first time round, which meant I could go into the Downloads folder and see the eicar.com file still there. This time around the file was removed from the Downloads folder and put into Quarantine.

Seems strange why it didn't happen earlier.

 

Done!... Just wish I could get the time taken to be quicker.

 

Mine is always fast about 20 to 30 seconds and almost double the running processes but yours is scanning more files. How many files do you have in your Scan Log?

TH

 

I stopped clicking after 150, but I guess at least 300.

P.S. I didn't want to waste the power from the batteries in the mouse.

 

You should contact support and put all the files in the ticket to get them whitelisted then it will scan much faster than 16 minutes. I have 0 files.

TH

 

It has been a long time since I last contacted support...but will do. Thanks.

P.S. I hope I can find my password.

 

Just start a new one if you can't find or remember the password. Webroot Customer Service

I am in the middle of uninstalling WSA, but it hasn't requested a reboot... So I am about to reboot, when I log out of Wilders, right now.

 

What other products do you have running in realtime? That sounds like something is scanning while WSA scans, slowing down file reading.
