AGENT CHANGES IN BUILD 8.0.4.46 -  January 14th 2014

Fixed

  • Delaying the system shutdown on Windows Server 2003.
  • Installing the agent when no user is logged in.
  • Reduced the CPU impact of file infector scanning
     

Improved

  • Protection against untrusted BHOs.
  • Protection against Cryptolocker.
  • Generic protection against threats attempting to steal user information.
On my 64-bit Windows 7 system, if you shutdown protection then relaunch webroot, it does not report to the Action Center that it is running and the little warning flag doesn't disappear until you reboot. I have reported this for several 8.0.4.x builds now.

 

I see that others are now reporting excessive CPU usage on scans in 8.0.4.46. I have had to disable scheduled scans on one PC since the 8.0.4 releases begain due to this. The high CPU usage continues even after the scan completes.
