Webroot SecureAnywhere Discussion & Update Thread

Thanks Daniel!

I used this the toolbar fix but never came right with that so went to the store directly. I use Lastpass for the password management, so fine on that front at least.

 

The toobar fix tool is to put the Password manager back in supported browsers if missing not to remove it!

 

Is it just me, or is WSA spitting out a lot of false positives lately?

 

I haven't seen any here on the PC or Mac.

 

I've seen a few on PC in 2017 already.

 

Then why is there an option to "Uninstall the Webroot Toolbar"?

 

Yep, that's me also. I rarely got them prior, but I think I've had 4 already in 2017. Not sure if they ramped up heuristics or something.

 

Have you change the default settings?
In my case it generated many FP but I wasn't using default sensitivities

 

Nope. FPs on default settings.

 

I have one or two settings changed so that it does not auto-quarantine anything, but I have been using this setup for 6+ months now. The FPs only started in the past week or so.

 

I have seen a few at the Webroot Community and it has to do with Heuristics set to high so a clean reinstall will fix it.

 

If you don't want the Webroot Password Manager toolbar just go into each Browser and Disable it!

 

Another bunch of FPs, this time on the entire grub2win download AND installation folder.

Edit: Processing refund now. My entire boot configuration has gone to hell because of the FPs above. Dual boot reformat required to remedy the situation. A lot of wasted time incoming.

 

Notice to Beta Testers Beta v9.0.15.40 is now out to Beta testers.

And you blame Webroot for using that tool? https://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2win/ Good luck.

I saw something when starting up the Surface Book, and I knew something was happening with WSA, because VS threw up a pop-up. I thought I had captured a screenshot, but missed it.

Anyhow, I allowed it, and there was nothing logged for it in the VS logs. Now, running this latest beta on my Surface Book. Still have to update my XP desktop, when I am that snapshot.

 

I did!

 

I did too, but no logging of the Webroot file, that was referenced by that pop-up. I will see it again, when I update my XP desktop, hopefully.

 

I got this from Glasswire at the same time:

 

I don't have Glasswire. But, I have Tiny Watcher on the XP desktop.

 

That sounds like a pretty nifty program,,"Tiny Watcher"for XP..

 

Hi Sherry

I found it indispensable. Pity it was never developed, further, for later Windows versions.

 

Hi Tarnak!
Yes that is a shame...it does have a lot of good features in the program..

 

Really confused by what you're trying to get at, but absolutely I blame Webroot for having too many FPs.

 

Congrats Sherry on being awarded the Microsoft Windows Insider MVP very well deserved my friend!
