Can someone explain me how come the community page shows me as having used these browsers when i only use google chrome either on windows xp, 7 or 10 ?

 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.154 Safari/537.36Either i'm overlooking something or i am having a split personality issue where i use browsers i can't remember later.
I have exactly the same, i.e., 

 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2490.86 Safari/537.36

 

So I would expect that it is s generic rather than specific determination, and personally I would not either read too much into it or frankly bother about it.

I know it's but a small fish but it's odd it does not show my windows 10 / chrome combo so i'm going to focus on discovering something new from Webroot. There's soo much to discover & learn.
Well, if concerned about it I would just PM Nic and ask him to investigate/find out for you.

 

As I said before, personally, I would not bother as it may be down to something on your system obfuscating what yo are truly running (would be funny if it was an as yet unknown to us feature of WSA).

ok i'm going to send ? a nudge and ask. I know i'm not running any funky obfuscating software so i'm interested to hear his 5cents on it. Besides the OS , WSA's the only thing i run that does not come from MS' app store.

It all goes back to browser sniffing and making sure that the browsers are not blocked from getting content they can support. From the above article:

And Internet Explorer supported frames, and yet was not Mozilla, and so was not given frames. And Microsoft grew impatient, and did not wish to wait for webmasters to learn of IE and begin to send it frames, and so Internet Explorer declared that it was “Mozilla compatible” and began to impersonate Netscape, and called itself Mozilla/1.22 (compatible; MSIE 2.0; Windows 95), and Internet Explorer received frames, and all of Microsoft was happy, but webmasters were confused.

Yeah I'm not sure as I'm not as up to speed on browser strings as others. If it is indeed a mistake I can check with Lithium on it.
I guess it's a mistake ? because when i browse from the latest release of chrome on my windows 10 that's the most recent build it does not show up. And i'm not running any kind of browser spoofing stuff so why does that one not show.

But it's no biggie. As long as i can access the community i'm happy.

Hey Daniel,

 

What is the difference between IV4 and IV6? My PC is still on IV4 and I don't know how or if I need to change it. And if so, How do I do that?

Many thanks,

Theresa
Hi ?

 

IPV4 and IPV6 are internet protocols.

The IPV4 system was running out of IP addresses so they created IPV6. You shouldn't have to change anything.

If you check the properties of your network adapter you should see both checked.

 



 

Hope this helps,

Most ISP's still use IPv4 and haven't switch to IPv6 you can do a test here: https://www.wireshark.org/tools/v46status.html

 

Here are my Results:

Hi Daniel,

 

I ran the test and it said "Bad news: you definitively do not have IPv6 connectivity." It sounded so sad I thought I should take action, but I guess its ok for now.You still run IPv4...
