Hi HUD199,

 

Welcome to the Webroot Community.

 

This really comes down to user preference. Enabling location helps provide accurate information for things like weather, directions/maps, locating retailers near you, etc. Personally, I have this setting turned off. But I'm pretty sure if Windows or a government entity such as the NSA or CIA wanted to know your location they could, regardless of this setting.

 

Hope this info helps,

BD

I have my location setting turned on both at home and at work. This is mainly for websites that need my location, such as weather, to operate properly. I also have to do a fair amount of distance calculations for my techs so having the location set makes that quicker.

 

? is right though. If someoone wanted to know where you live bad enough, they will find out no matter what!
