Missing the Icon, where did it go to


Greetings, that little " Green Icon " that indicates a safe site has disappeared. I was searching for a crock pot on Google and that small Greenish Icon is absent for some reason. At first, there is an indication that it will appear but after a " wheel " spins for a few seconds, it just goes blank.
I do like knowing if Webroot considers a particular website safe to click on so it would be nice to have that peace of mind ( the Green Icon ) back functioning as it did just yesterday.
 
Thanks all !

Hi Robert,
 
Hope you are doing well.
 
I have had this happen from time to time. On some rare occasions it seems to be on Webroot's end of things and it will usually fix itself within a day or so. I'm not seeing an issue at the moment, though. Other times a clean install, as Dave has recommended, should do the trick.
 
Hope this helps,;)
 
Cheers,
 
BD

Hi Robert1725,
 
I've had that happen to me a few times. I did a reboot and the icon came back. If the reboot doesn't work I'd try a uninstall / reinstall of WSA.
 
  • Make sure you have a copy of your 20 Character Alphanumeric Keycode! Example: SA69-AAAA-A783-DE78-XXXX
  • Be sure you add your Keycode to your Online Console: Webroot SecureAnywhere Online Console
  • KEEP the computer online for Uninstall and Reinstall to make sure it works correctly
  • Download a Copy Here (Best Buy Geek Squad Subscription PC users click HERE) Let us know if it is the Mac version you need.
  • Uninstall WSA and Reboot
  • Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode and DO NOT import any old settings as you can set it up as you like once it's done
  • Let it finish it's install scan
  • Reboot once again
HTH,
Dave.;)

Hi Robert,
 
That's very good to know. Thanks for letting us know. I have had the same thing happen before, as well. You're spinning wheels comment is what made me think it might be on Webroot's end. I remember reading somewhere here in the community that one might see those spinning wheels when the problem lies on their end. Anyway, glad to hear it's sorted out for you. :D
 
Have a great day,

Yes. Very true, Robert. With the three main browsers constantly updating, I can only imagine the hard work and diligence that it must take to remain so proactive and keep the whole process up and running. :D
