    But as Triple Helix points out you can only obtain the free version if you are a customer of that particular Bank as you need to login to your online account.

    So the free version is limited in its availability.

    Yes, I did realise that. I suggested a search so that he may possibly find his bank offers it.
    However TH mentions only 30 banking institutions which isn't very many when compared to the hundreds Trusteer are associated with.

    And it keeps growing. Also see this test done by MRG, WSA's Identity Shield vs Trusteer: https://www.mrg-effitas.com/webroot...rusteer-rapport-comparative-analysis-2015-q2/ also see the thread at the Webroot Community: https://community.webroot.com/t5/An...here-Versus-Trusteer-Rapport/m-p/207548#M4641

    Thanks,

    Daniel :)

    problem with this test is almost every file he tried to download was in fact the same file. setup.exe and same file size if you watch it again. webroot did very well but he needs to adjust the way he tests.

    Is the Mobile version (Android) now cloud based as the Windows PC version?
    I think last time I did try, it was downloading signatures a la old school. :)
    And what about the new Windows 10 Mobile, is there a version for that?
    I checked the homepage but did not find any info.

    question with the mobile app i can track one of the phones its installed on. i have an employee we are trying to see if they are where they should be but it says if i do it that this will lock the device. is there any way around that? we have been having issues with an employee and need to figure out if he is where is supposed to be while on the job. we dont pay him to screw around while on the clock.

    It would be best to contact support to keep it on the low! Webroot Customer Service

    hey guys so I basicly never buy software, just always use free versions. My 180 day trial from wsa is running out on my sister's laptop though and I'm willing to buy a license.

    anyone knows where the cheapest wsa deal(s) can be found?

    thanks!

    Look in this thread:

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/newegg-com-av-specials.361072/page-31

    I believe you have to be in the US to take advantage of offers from Newegg.com

    Salutations, Greeting!

    > Do think Webroot need and anti-excutable? Which one do you suggest and why?
    > And/or a firewall? Which one do you suggest and why?
    > Sandboxie or Comodo Firewall with the sandbox? Which one do you suggest and why?
    > And/or another AV to back up Webroot just in case? Which one do you suggest and why?

    Or Webroot just find without it?

    Kind regards,

    I do just fine with Webroot only on my Wife's (Happy Clicker) computer. She has never been infected using WSA and she has been using it since WSA was launched a few years ago. :thumb: On my computer I run WSA with VoodooShield Pro (beta).

    I have also installed WSA on several PCs that are tend to get PUPs installed every now and then. So far so good. Seems like WSA is quite agressive at blocking urls. That also means PUP installer sites etc are blocked without user getting to download any files.
