Webroot SecureAnywhere Discussion & Update Thread

Hi ttomm1946

Indeed, the Identity Shield is a feature of all version of WSA, including the AV one, and if you check out the list of what it protects from you will see that due to the anti keylogging feature that the physical entry of password data would be protected, etc.



Hope that helps to clarify things for you?

Regards, Baldrick

 

Thank you!!!

 

You are very welcome...

 

Thanks @Baldrick for covering for me!

The pleasure is all mine, Maestro

Does WSA record your usual browsing history?.... are we tracked in any way?

Thanks though already had a quick look at the privacy section, relates mostly to their website side i think..... can't find privacy info [what's collected, if anything, and passed on?] regarding the software / firefox plugin itself.... i've probably missed it.... will have another look later.

Found it here... http://detail.webrootanywhere.com/eula.asp ...through support.

"10. Information Collected by the Software. The SecureAnywhere Solution may collect and send to the Webroot Database(s) information about the following:

That's something I've wondered about for some time. Thanks for the link

 

help please with my beta licence issue

 

Are you imagining Webroot telemetry is gathering more or less than xyz telemetry.
Regardless of EULA content. How will you know what's uploaded or how it's used.
Your options are trust or don't use. Trust and verify is not an option. How would you verify.
I don't care what Webroot gathers.
Why would I question Webroot access to what I'm doing while asking Webroot to protect what I'm doing.
My options are trust or don't use.
YMMV M2C

 

...and here we are again... the usual question about personal info/tracking/call home/etc..
Just use the search function as it has been discussed at least once a year for the past 5? 6? years?

Indeed all boils down to trust... otherwise simply don't use it. Nothing worst than using a software that you don't trust or even disabling most of its features with the end result of suboptimal protection.

 

Yeeees... I'm aware of this ....... but i'm learning about xyz.... I imagine I'm just curious - which is why I asked.

 

In EULA, this might be of concern if you are using backup features:

Anyone knows who are the licensors?

What happened? I think contacting support by creating a new ticket would solve whatever it is.

 

Contact Nic and he will look after you! https://www.wilderssecurity.com/members/tolstoshev.139981/

 

The Beta is up to v9.0.6.19 and the release version is now v9.0.6.18 and I will post release notes when they are available.

Thanks,

Daniel

Webroot System Analyzer 9.0.6.18

http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/webroot_system_analyzer.html

Users of the Complete version already have this option and I really don't take the results to heart.

WSA can be tweaked to become almost an Anti-exec by itself, so no need.

WSA uses Windows Firewall and "improve" it with alerts and some features (only win7)

WSA already have a sandbox (restriction-based one), so no need unless you want go Full virtualization.

none needed, local signature are bad

 

@Triple Helix - I (and others of course) use WSA with the HitmanPro.Alert anti-exploit program.
Unfortunately there is an incompatibility between WSA Identity Shield and the latest (3.1) version of the HMPA Keystroke Encryption functionality, which suppresses the keystroke encryption indicator (though the HMPA keystroke encryption still works) so I guess it really is just a cosmetic issue.
The dev of HMPA believes that Webroot should fix the issue by whitelisting HMPA - see here.
Do you have any leverage wrt such a request, or should I post a request to Nic, or the Webroot Community Forum, or in a support call?

 

I have commented in that thread before posting here so have a look over there.

Thanks,

Daniel
