Webroot's and PrevX's history apart and together are a very long story. Many, like me, know parts of it. People from the Wilders Security Forums know most of all (where power-user TripleHelix hails from.)

 

Has anyone assembled a history of everything that's known?

 

I know it's going to sound like brown-nosing - posting this on the Webroot forum, identified as a Webroot Community Guide - but I think it's a really interesting business story. Webroot saw what PrevX was doing, something completely different, and in the end dropped all its consumer products in the belief that PrevX was the right path. It's not often you'll find a company that will replace the core tech it has been building for a decade with that of a small team's from another country.

Thank you @Muddy7 

That is some talented guy, very impressive at that age.

At any age (let alone his, shall we say, relatively tender years :wink: )!*

*As a musician, I could not fail to notice among his many , many other talents: composer of symphonic music, chamber music and quartets

Thank you @Muddy7 for that find. :wink:

My God do I miss the communication with him about the Webroot Software we use to have on the Wilders Forum. Nothing would go unanswered. Joe was nice to everyone and answered every question that was given to him. Seems like this man never slept. So much for the “Good Old Days”.

Quite...

Looking through my pictures again and I found a Prevx 4 Alpha before it became Webroot SecureAnywhere and I guess I was reporting a bug. I guess it was a build before this one:
