Webroot v5.5 or v5.8 ?

I have noticed there are 2 different version Webroots getting around.

Version 5.5.10.20 from:

http://www.webroot.com/En_US/consumer-products-desktopfirewall.html

And version 5.8 from:

http://www.webroot.com.au/En_AU/consumer-products-desktopfirewall.html

Who is using v5.8? If so, are there any problems with it? Is that why the US website is only offering v5.5?

 

Probably an oversight of Webroot.

I have 5.5.7. I was offered the 5.8 'upgrade', 'took advantadge' of it, but I quickly discovered that the 5.8 version was unstable, (confirmed by Webroot) and I'm back to 5.5.7.

Maybe they are testing 5.8 in Australia ?

 

Haha... Tested on Kangaroos (TM)?

 

What are Kangaroos?

 

I downloaded the one from aus and it was 5.5.7 from 2007, not 5.8.

 

Any of several herbivorous leaping marsupials of Australia and New Guinea having large powerful hind legs and a long thick tail

 

See also my thread in the anti-malware section.

I'm using the Spy Sweeper without their antivirus, behaviour blocker, firewall.

 

LOL ok

 

behaviour blocker?

 

For as far as I know:

There is the vanilla Spy Sweeper, without antivirus.
We also have the Spy Sweeper with antivirus, this includes a behaviour blocker (or is that part of the firewall ??).
And there is the Webroot Desktop Firewall.

Various combinations are possible. There are also several versions, with different builds.

And it seems that Webroot is working on a 'suite'.
