    After a reboot, following the upgrade install of the v8.0.1.210 beta, a program(Ewido), that I start soon after the systray has completed loading, an alert was initiated by WSA, which I chose to run once.

    However, this locked up my system, so that I had to do a soft reboot. I kept this up for several attempts at loading Ewido, but each time it would lock up my system.

    In the end I thought I would close the "Behaviour Shield" under "Shields", and then try and get Ewido to run without getting the freeze-up.

    This time it worked, and also got a notification popup that there was an update to WSA, i.e. v8.0.1.214, which I allowed. ;)

    P.S. I never had a problem starting Ewido before getting this beta.

    Could you see if any processes under System Control - Active Processes are marked as Monitor? It would be worth changing them to Allow in case something from ewido isn't trusted.

    Anything which looks to be related to ewido should be marked as Allow. If you'd like any assistance in determining which ones, you can write into our support inbox and the research team will whitelist your scan logs.

    I haven't done this for awhile...Can I do this through WSA GUI, or is there an url address to contact? ... Do you want me to send my scan logs? ...Will this supply the relevant information?

    While you were posting, I found a link and contacted Webroot support. ;)

    I wonder how long it will take to respond to my request?

    I think you went into our Prevx support inbox - could you write into the Webroot link I sent?

    I obviously got lost on the Webroot site. ;) I will do, as requested.

    However, when I switched on my monitor this morning, I was confronted confronted with a black screen...WTF?

    Started with a soft reboot, and system went into an unrequested CHKDSK, which was in C:\bootex.log, as follows:

    Support have contacted me with instructions.

    During the running of this tool for gathering system information, I got a BSOD.

    Probably, why the betas are updating so fast. All is not so rosy, in some gardens. ;)

    TH,

    However, you must agree, that 3 betas in the space of less than 3 days, is unprecedented. ;) :)

    Just an aside, but this is what was going on just prior to crashing. Interesting from my point of view, as a beta tester. ;)

    You may want to check your hardware if you're having chkdsk issues. We've made a lot of changes, but none of them would affect the integrity of your files.

    As for the frequency of beta releases, we have a great deal of changes going on, for the Business, Consumer, and several other partner projects. The beta tracks are being updated more frequently to start including more of these areas, not because of issues :)

    I see we were posting at the same time. ;)

    Regarding chkdsk issues, I don't think I have any problem with hardware. As I stated in a post above, it just stated automatically. I didn't initiate.

    To whomever I am communicating with in Support, stop trying to pin my problem on hardware. ;)

    BTW, it is common courtesy know with whom one is communicating.

    Sorry, I have to say it, but 'Support' has got my goat.

    Joe, if you want it, this what I have, despite 2 more BSODs trying to get the data collecting utility to do its thing.
