WSA causing Windows to start slowly

Sometimes when I boot up my Windows 7 64bit computer, the log in "welcome" process lags. This started as soon as I installed Webroot SecureAnywhere Essentials, and after reading the CNET review, I figured it was WSA causing it. According to the CNET review, WSA was very good in all performance areas other than the way it affected system startup, if I recall.

During a routine check-up of my system to address another issue I was having with a different program, I noticed Windows flagged Webroot SecureAnywhere as being a startup problem.

I wanted to bring this to your attention...



Thanks.

 

That's very interesting - could you write into our support inbox and send in a scan log so that we can take a look? That should let us get to the bottom of it.

Thanks!

 

Sure, but I still must ask one thing:

I am still not certain on how to send in a scan log or upload ANY file for that matter using Webroot's support page. I have looked all over and there is NO link to attach a file as there is on the Prevx support page.

I don't know why I am having so much difficulty with this...

 

When support needs more data, they use download.webroot.com / wsalogs.exe (reconstruct into a URL if you like), which gathers and uploads automatically, but they still need a support ticket to know why you sent the logs. The thing even has a way to send arbitrary files from what I understand.

Best to just ask support I think.

 

There is no automatic log uploads and only WSA support will send the link to download wsalogs.exe utility if they need more info from you!

If you can save a scan log and then send us the lines of which ones refer to:

Monitoring process

that would be the best way for us to find the slowdown.

Thanks!

 

I'm having this same issue since I installed WSAC back in December. It didn't happen in the beginning, it started a couple of weeks since the first install. I resolved it by uninstalling/reinstalling but this week I got an automatic update to version 8.0.1.82 and the problem reappeared.

I see that there's a file "WRLog" under c:\ProgramData\WRData. Is this the scan log you need? If so, do I have to post it here or attach it to a post or send it to a particular website?

Thanks!

 

Please do a scan and then save a scan log by Right clicking on the Tray Icon and select "Save a Scan Log" and copy a paste the lines of which ones refer to: Monitoring process that would be the best way for us to find the slowdown in the Support Ticket. http://www.webrootanywhere.com/support
