Webroot SecureAnywhere PUBLIC Beta

I remember this is a Webroot feature when I used Webroot Anti-Virus with SpySweeper a few years ago that's good that there adding it to WSA!

Pictures are from the Online Help file http://www.webrootanywhere.com/sah_Backup_and_Sync.asp?n=Getting_started_with_Backup_and_Sync

HTH,

My point was that SugarSync uses the phrase"Magic Briefcase" to provide an easily set up sync device.

See here: https://sugarsync.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/28

 

I will leave that upto PrevxHelp to answer! I just don't think that "Magic Briefcase" is a patent name?

TH

 

Also, there is password management: http://www.webrootanywhere.com/sah_Password_Management.asp?n=About_Password_Management

And this: https://my.webrootanywhere.com/default.asp

Looks like its going final soon.

If, after adding backup and sync and password management, the client is still 570kb, I would really be baffled. That would make WRSA the best "bloatware" ever .

 

We license sync/backup from SugarSync: http://www.sugarsync.com/company/press_releases/20100805_sugarsync_press_release.html

 

These components are already supported in the current client but do come as a secondary download We'll be pushing out license keys that offer this functionality in the very near future!

 

Joe did say it would turn heads

I just registered my BETA license on that Webroot Console. I was able to register just fine. However you still have to buy Passwords and Backup, but upgrading/renewing is not available for BETA licenses.
You can view scan and protection statistics from online, and even edit security settings (low, medium, high, extreme). Manage users and licenses. It looks like you can use one license on three devices and the Complete (AV plus) license comes with 10GB of online storage.
Really quite impressive.

 

This is turning out to be one very smart little (in every sense of the word) piece of software

 

The password manager is a copy of lastpass
http://www.webrootanywhere.com/sah_Password_Management.asp?n=Setting_Password_Manager_preferences

Are you using lastpass infrastructure or you just have bought the software?

http://lastpass.com/

There is any reason to pay for the webroot password manager if it is a reduced copy of a free product?

 

My key code does not work, did you used the key that they sent you by email? Did you were also in the private beta?

 

I was also in the private beta. But I am using a license from the public beta (I got two licenses).

 

Prevx help please check your PM's

 

Yesterday, I downloaded a file that I scanned with EMSI Anti Malware which said it was infected.

After running a quick scan with MBAM this morning, it also detected the exe file after it had been extracted earlier from the .RAR file.

However from WSA, there was nary a peep.

P.S. I suspected that this file was doubtful because the link was removed by the Wilders' mods very quickly.

 

I have mouse lags when opening and minimizing windows in aero win7. The lag disappears when i turn of aero.

 

Send the MD5 from the WSA log to support https://detail.webrootcloudav.com/servicewelcome.asp and ask!

HTH,

TH

 

That is the point, WSA never detected it, so there is no log.

 

If you scan a file with WSA it will show in the log and then you send the the MD5 to support!

Yesterday I sent a MD5 hash of a file that wasn't detected by WSA to the WSA Beta Team. I actually didn't do it via the scanning method suggested by TH as I have HashTab installed, and so was able to extract the MD5 file hash using that.

It's just another way, but TH is right, you can send the information required after doing a scan on the file and saving the log then extracting the details needed from that.

 

I use HashTab also but it's the same as in the WSA scan log!

The backup and password management features discussed earlier are obviously components of the product that is being split into 2-3 versions alluded to in the PC Mag article I posted about here. I think these additions will be part of the 'Complete' version; this is also mentioned in the Help file.

 

Surprisingly...just rebooted and got an update to v8.0.0.12

 

Also received the new update, but no change log. Joe?

 

It's currently only out to the private beta users but I'll get a changelog together once we push it out wider
