My personal Security Report
Does anyone know why my Personal Security Report shows that the last scan was 10th December 2016, when scans of my PC are done at least once every day?

Hi JP
I did check since the update. Everything appears to work as intended on my phone app with the exception of blocking the risky site when using Google. Google Chrome the site is blocked and the stand alone web browser as well.
Security Complete on my tablet (Version 3.7.1.7660) works as intended.
Thanks for checking back!

I am providing this a a final follow up to the issues I am having associated with the instalation of Webroot mobile security on my new phone.
First Issue is with Secure Web Browsing using Webroot Security Complete app:
While I was able to load the primary software app on my phone (Webroot Security Complete), the secure web feature is not fuctional within the app. The message on the Secure Web Browsing feature under "Security" tab "Secure Web Browsing" select/hit arrow "block known threats" indicates: "This feature is unavailable at this time. Your device is not currently compatible with Webroot Secure Browsing".
Second Issue is with Secure Web Browsing-stand alone app:
Proceeded to then load the stand alone Webroot Secure Web Browser app. The following error is obtained when accessing the application "a secure connection could not be established to this site. would you like to proceed?" y/n option By selecting n multiple times you remain on the window. By selecting y multiple times, you can select a topic. If you open another window/tab get the same message pop up.
Procede to the search bar type in search item and select from websites available and the same "secure connection" pop up is rec'd.
In order to open the website you have to select y to the error message "a secure connection could not be established to this site. would you like to proceed?" multiple times.
Opening another tab or attempting to access a new website through the search field results in the same error popping up.
While I can get to a website by selecting Y (multiple times) this obviously is not how the app is suppose to work.
I can go to a known website that ihas been indicated as a "risk" to demonstrate that the security feature within the app functions/is flaged as potentially compromising security (classified as a Risk) - red warning window pops up.
However, getting to a website by churning through the error pop-ups is not how the stand alone Webroot Secure Web Browser application is suppose to function.
At this time if I want to access the internet through Google independently/Google app its self, the Secure Web feature doesn't work (i.e. there is no warning pop up when accessing the known "risky" website).
According to the developement team-
The Secure Connection message appears to be something that has come up recently and according to initial development research into the issue appears to be device specific. We are in the process of gathering device information on the occurrence, and will work to resolve it.
I know this is long-winded. I'm attempting for those who don't have the issue to understand what is happening and for those who do to confirm similar.
Apparently there are others experiencing this also.
Just as a reference, I have a Motorola Z Play phone, OS 7.0 and Verizon carrier. Development Team has all my relevant info. If others are experiency this it is probably helpful to post but open a ticket as well.
I plan to open this up as a seperate thread under Secure Web Browsing Issues as this has essentially been burried under my initial issue that I was having with Personal Security Report.

Lucas contacted me this afternoon and was able to finally resolve the issues I have been having with the software app which were related to the primary/secondary key code. He guided me through the process to a satisfactory conclusion.
I really appreciate all of the help and guidance everyone here on the Community has provided. It's good to know there are so many helpful people to bounce issues off of.

Hi Jackie,
I've been talking with the developers and support to determine the cause of the problem. Since the issue is keycode-related, I will let our senior support staff to help you with a solution. I made sure they understood the history of your case and the developer's advice, so you will be in good hands.
Again, I'm so sorry about this!
Best regards,
Sophia

Good Morning Jackie,
Again I am sorry about the hassles that you are going through. My hands are tied because I do not have a solution. Things take time with the development team. I would think this would be high priority for the simple fact that Webroot isn't working on a new mobile device. Because this could happen to others and a solution must be found. Webroot takes this issues seriously. I wish I had your phone so I could duplicate your issues but I don't. I have never seen such stubbornness in 3 years of being a Webroot volunteer that this has happened to anyone else. So your issues are perplexing to me.
Let's ping@ to see if she has heard anything from the Developers.

Good Morning Sophia and (Sherry too)
Just wanted to give you a follow up on my problem with loading the mobile app to my new Motorola Z Play phone. I went back and forth with Webroot Technical Support. On 1/10/17 AM they determined that they were not able to solve the problem and directed me to contact Webroot Customer Support which I did. The support person (Baron) and I went through multiple iterations of deleting and re-loading the app. He was not able to solve the problem and escalated the issue to the development side (I think that is what he said). He stated that someone would contact me by e-mail once they determine a solution to arrange a time to work through the installation with me. I haven't heard a thing and it has been 3 days. I'm fairly unhappy at this point as I have a new phone that I want to use but want to have the security loaded before I down-load any more apps or email to my phone. I plan to call back today to see what's going on but I feel perhaps since I'm the only one with the issue it is low priority. I have had issues every single time I have gotten a new device or re-newed my subscription. On January 1, I attempted to reloaded the application to my laptop as part of the "solution" to the Personal Security Report via the link provided with instructions. It took multiple attempts to get it loaded properly as I got errors or the directions provided didn't match what actually needed to be performed.
I have been a Webroot customer probably for more than 15 years. I know it's a good product, but this is ridiculous that I can't load an app sucessfully after dozens of tries on a brand new phone.

Last renewel of subscription was 8/7/2015 approximately when I also had this problem with the mobile app. As previously stated they were not able to resolve so I was relegated to using the old key code on my phone and a different key code on my laptop/computer.
Can't use the old phone key code as that was what was previously done with issues.Still waiting for support to get back to me

Hi Jackie,
On my Android device using SecureWeb I am not getting this error. tapping on the Help page ..very odd that you are..
On my Android device using SecureWeb I am not getting this error. tapping on the Help page ..very odd that you are..
Another issue with this app as loaded - use the webroot secure Web (under Help tab) and I get the following error:
"A secure connection could not be established to this site. Would you like to proceed?" Y/N option Selecting N stays on the window, selecting Y you can select a topic. If you open another window get the same message pop up .
I know this is not right/how this is suppose to operate.

Hi Jackie,
I am sorry this has been so troublesome!!!
One possibility I can think of is if your keycode subscription time changed recently, the mobile app can have a delay of up to 24 hours to see the updated "days remaining". It can even be 48 hours if you renewed through Best Buy. This delay in the mobile app is not affected by reinstalling, scanning or activating the keycode, since it's a delay on the back end.
If you renewed yesterday or today, I would wait to see if it fixes the issue on its own. Otherwise, check with Support.
Best regards,
Sophia

Hi Jackie,
We are really sorry that you are going through so much to get Webroot to work correctly on your mobile device.
I have not heard of the Webroot Android being so difficult. Usually an uninstall/reinstall fixes most issues.
Thank you for having all the patience and for following all of the instructions handed out to you.
Let's hope the Webroot Support Team can resolve this for you as quickly as possible.

Hi Sophia (and Sherry too)
So I did a delete/turn off phone and reload of the recommended app. Still getting the error on app indicateing the days left in my subscription are 32.
Went in to the Registration and entered the key code associated with lap top (the newer code) and activated. Still getting the error on app indicateing the days left in my subscription are 32.
So I'm at a loss here. Still waiting on the Technical Support team reply. I know I can call for support too, but having done that in the past (and everyone is very helpful and generally patient) I am pretty sure they will have me do all the steps you have already graceously guided me through 🙂.
So I will sit tight until I hear from them on how to proceed.
If I may ask - is this a problem you have seen in the past? I always try to look through the community for help with a similar problem but I didn't specifically look for this particular issue this time as that wasn't my original issue. And now this problem is covered under my original concern for the security report which has nothing to do with this. Oh well !

Hi Jackie,
It sounds like the device is picking up the old keycode instead of seeing your new one.
Here's what you can do.
1. Go into the menu (three dots at the upper right corner in the app).
2. Tap "Register".
3. Tap the "Activate" button.
4. Enter your Complete keycode.
Also, I know it's confusing with so many similar-looking apps in Google Play. This is something we are working on improving soon!
Best regards,
Sophia

Hi Sherry/Sophia
i went back into play store and selected the app that you had provided a link to. i have now loaded that app to my phone.
I noticed that it looks like it is recommended to restart the phone after deleting and before reloading - which I didn't do. However, when I opened the app I am still seeing the following problem described here:
it appears that it loaded a "trial" app as it indicates the days left in my subscr1ption are 32 (i actually have 754 days left). this is the problem i had in 8/7/15 which was never resolved and i went back to using the old key code - which isn't an option at this point.
The problem is that the days will continue to count-down until it gets to zero and require me to either "renew" my subscr1ption - which isn't necessary since i have 2 plus years left or delete and reload the app which frankly isn't a solution at all.
I provided the same to the Tech support Team. Awaiting an aswer, but in the meantime I will do the delete/shut down phone and reload just to be sure that the issue isn't with not clearing the cache
Will redo and get back to you to let you know. Thanks again

Sherry So with a clear head and fresh eyes I have re-read the instructions provided by both you and Sophia. I think what has me hung up is all the extra authorizations. I did open a ticket and NONE of that was provided to me so I am no kinda of spinning as to which app is really the "correct" one as there are apparently 3 different ones I have been instructed to load. The one that the support tech pointed me too is Webroot Mobile Security - Free with a picture of a lock with a W in center surrounded by green. Depending how you do a search in the play store you get MULTIPLE apps that look very similar but don't load the same. I have been trying to load Webroot Security Complete - Free that is indicated as for exsisting webroot internet security complete subscribers only. Of course this one and the Webroot SecureWeb Browser are giving me the error for the web browser and the "days left on subscription". So if the app with the lock description above is the correct one, I can try again. But to be clear it is extremely confusing when there are so many to choose from that are similar in title/free and the directions given by the technical support group (not the web community) is not clear. I hope you are having a good day. Again thatnk you for your time and effort helping me.
Hi Jackie,
I'm sorry to hear about the issues you are having. I recommend you install this app instead:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webroot.security&hl=en
It is fully supported on Android 4, 5, 6, and 7.
It does not say "Complete", however if you enter your Complete keycode, it will adjust to give you the Complete feature set.
I hope everything works out, but if not let me know.

I've done both. No matter which app I load, I get the same message of not compatable with my device. In fact yesterday before the OS update I loaded the secure browsing app seperately also same incompatability issue - even when the OS updated.
If you go to the play store, there are 2 apps - but one specifically Webroot Security Complete - free app that is indicated as for exsisting Webroot Internet Security Complete subscribers only. That is the app I was specifically told to load previously by a support Tech on the phone. I had a support ticket opened 8/7/2015 for "days left on subscription".
Can you tell me how the Secure Web Browsing feature works on your phone? Because I could never seem to get this feature to work properly after a certain point and I stopped looking things up on my phone.
When you go to google chrome and search for a website do you see the "check marks" by the safe sites like I do on my laptop? Or is it assumed what ever sites pop up are "safe".
I'm opening a ticket. I'll let you know.
Thanks again Sherry.
