Sorry for my absence, but…

Sorry I have been missing for a while, but I have not been in a very good mood about both Webroot or Carbonite lately. Carbonite has been telling me that my account has been disabled every single day. I have followed all the instructions from the documentation on how to work around this issue, which is basically turning off the No IP tracking feature on EVERY WiFi connection I use and on Ethernet connections as well, and then reinstalling Carbonite each time the disabled message appears. After having done that more than 2 dozen times over many weeks, and it still will not finish a backup, I finally got a customer service call and chatted with the technical team to be told “They are working on the problem.” But I’m still getting emails telling me my backup is out of date. No, really? Sigh!. As for Webroot WSA, every time I reboot I get multiple warnings about potential security issues on system files, mostly .plist files. EVERY TIME! The number changes, but I have received as many a

BonjourJe viens d’acheter Wondershare Uniconverter 16.Il est possible d’améliorer les vidéos avec l’intelligence artificielle.Je découvre que le traitement des vidéos s’effectue à distance sur leurs serveurs. De grandes quantités de données leur sont donc transférées. Cela me rend méfiant, car je pensais que le logiciel traitait mes données sur le PC et non ailleurs, en Chine en l’occurrence.Il semble que certaines IP soient demandées en même temps :3.222.32.673.223.153.2253.165.136.1063.165.136.1243.165.136.115Les adresses IP 3.222.32.67 et 3.223.153.225 semblent rejoindre le domaine www.proxysite.comIl semble que si ces IP ne sont pas autorisées, le traitement de l’IA ne fonctionne pas, bien que le fichier vidéo ait déjà été transmis.Question 1 : Y a-t-il quelque chose à craindre qu’un proxy soit contacté, surtout en sachant qu’il est déclaré malveillant ou suspect par quatre sociétés de sécurité ?Question 2 : Comment puis-je savoir si Wondershare ne transmet que des fichiers vidéo à

A subscription renewal for three devices was performed for only one. Why?

On January 3, 2025, my subscription, Webroot® SecureAnywhere® Internet Security Plus 3 Device 1 Year Renewal, had to end, but on December 31 I entered my account and clicked the button Renew NOw. Unfortunately the renewal was made only for one device. I need it for 3 devices. Why it was not continued as before? For many years I had it for 3 devices.

False positive is back again: BaseSystem.dmg

Once again, BaseSystem.dmg, which is part of the recovery partition installer for MacOS 10.11.6 is yet again being reported as a threat. Our MSP only offers Webroot as an AV solution, and although I wish it weren't the case, it really appears that Mac support in webroot is: "Well... if we HAVE to" level of support. I've been through the Adobe Creative Cloud crippling false positives of a year ago where if you didn't hit the right button, your CC install would be trashed. I've been through the total lack of interest in fixing the "Secure keyboard entry" conflicts with Adobe apps. I've been through the horrendously slow drive scans compared to other products. The high CPU usage... the firing off of multiple simultaneous scans... the CPU fans going nuts... The persistant Exclamation mark in the menu bar because it is going to find something wrong that isn't. Its so bad I've given up asking users to report it to me. I am normally a very civil and calm person, but this is really getting

WSA holding onto volumes from DMG or USB when trying to eject.

Anyone else see this issue and hopefully have a work around:When I mount a DMG disk image, or plug in a USB drive to my MacBookPro, I cannot eject it because I am told one or more programs may be using it. This even happens if NO programs are shown as running. I have noted that if I quit WSA (shut it down) I can then eject these drives But WSA scanning the drives it seems leaves some process open that still has an active pin to the drives. I do not want to force eject an HD, or even a DMG as it can damage the image or drive. Suggestions anyone? (FYI: Webroot Customer Service suggested I shut down WSA, eject the drive, and then turn it back on. WORST SOLUTION EVER.)

Mac OS X - CloudStorage folder - Scanning slows to 1-5 files per second...

So I always remembered Secure Anywhere being fast. I haven’t payed attention to it in a long time as far as scanning time goes. I just renewed my subscription and went through the settings again. I was noticing over the past few days that there was no last scan info. Then I see the program isn’t finishing a scan even after 9 hours. From what I can see it is slowing down in the user/library/CloudStorage folder. I have put the folder in the “Ignore” but it still seems to scan it. I tried to save and look at a log file but when I look at the timestamp it’s not listing the CloudStorage folder. I know its scanning the Dropbox folder as I can see the files while it’s scanning and they are only located there. Another odd thing is 95% of my dropbox is offline. Any thoughts appreciated…Mac OSX Sequoia 15.2Webroot Version 9.6.4.85: 1729

I change my internet provider to Starlink would this contribute to the message? My bandwidth and speed is more than previous may provider.

virus or what.

I inadvertently ran a program called story AI. Webroot flagged it so I told it to remove it. However, upon reboot it flagged 2 directories as a virus: WRCore and WRData. Finally, after 3 attempts the scan passed. Am thinking those two directories are part of webroot. Any ideas. The system never showed any ill effects, TIA

Webroot Warning About WRWTSSvc Trying to Install Itself -- Friend or Foe?

Getting warning at startup from Webroot that following is trying to install itself at every startup: Registry Key: \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\WRWTSSvcWebroot default action is to then disable that update. Is this legitimate or imposter update attempt?If legitimate, it seems to be a Webroot-related service, so why would Webroot not be recognizing it as part of its own software?Thank you!Arv

Disaster trying to sign in

I’ve never had so much trouble and had to waste more time than now. I’ve been a customer forever. I know that when I signed up for Webroot they weren’t owned by Carbonite. Since Carbonite bought them I’ve had nothing but problems signing in. I used to sign in through a Webroot portal. If I find it now it is by random chance.My login would not work. I tried to go to forgot password and reset it, but got sent to another completely different portal. I gave my email and got options to reset password or security code. I got a password reset email and got sent to log in here community.opentextcybersecurity.com, yet another url i had never seen before.The email said for Webroot Community and came from community@webroot.com. OK, I want to get to where I can open a support ticket. That’s not here. So where do I go now to log in for webroot support, not the community? Now when I go to Webroot.com it says Webroot by OpenText. From there I click on My Account, select Home and get sent to another

This interface STILL makes no sense to me.

I think I have borough this up before, but again, I am at a loss to exactly what to push or tap to see WHAT the program has found. So as a UI designer, once again I will complain that this is an AWFUL interface. If I am warned about a potential threat, I should not have to guess or search for the first thing someone will want to do: See the threats. I am going to assume “Remove Threats” will do just that, remove what IT thinks are threats. But frankly, Webroot has removed things it thought were threats hat actually broke the system and were not threats. So I need to see a list first. OK, so I actually found a way to see the list. You click on the TINY GREEN words that says, “31 items”. That takes me to Quarantine and from there I can see a tab called threats. Very round about. But several problems here: One, “31 items” is in green. Usually the color that nothing is wrong. Two, it is not obvious that one can click on the words “31 items”. They are not underlined like a link might be,

Time of Scheduled Scan

The Webroot I have installed on my computer is scheduled to do a scan at four in the morning but for some odd reason it doesn’t do a scan until 4:49. It’s been like this for awhile. I am curious as to why it does this and if it happens to anyone else.
