Inability to copy/paste into UEStudio text editor -- which is loss of access to Windows Clipboard -- traced to 'Deny' status assigned 'uestudio.exe' by Webroot. No notice to user when editor was tagged 'Deny', no User popup showing access to Windows clipboard was being blocked.
path to 'Deny' setting:
Identity and Privacy | Protected Applications (Advanced) | View/Edit Protected Applications
1. Is there a log somewhere detailing when and why this editor was tagged 'Deny'?
2. Is there a configuration parameter that can be set to notfy the user of these blockages when and why they occur?
Thank you in advance.

Loss of access to Windows Clipboard traced to 'Deny' status assigned text editor UEStudio.exe

It sounds like setting UEStudio to Allow solved the problem. The fact it showed up in Protected Applications as Denied on its own would indicate the file 1. Did something suspicious (which may not necessarily indicate it's a truly bad file) and 2. It's not whitelisted by our back end. This is something best handled through the ticket system. However, since we have a recent case open from you and a set of logs, I've asked that our threat researchers take a look at the program to potentially get it whitelisted so that it will not show up as Denied again.

That is because a deep scan only scans potential threats. There are some files on your computer that can be ruled out as threats and are therefore left out of the scan by default. You could run a full scan if you want to scan every last file, but that isn't advised since you are already protected by running the intelligent deep scan and via protection through the shields, which operate in real-time.

Roy,
There is at least one known issue I am aware of regarding Identity & Privacy that was fixed in a prior release in which it was later determined that an uninstall and reinstall was necessary in some cases for that fix to work. It related to items being automatically set to Deny in Protected Applications that should not have been denied. I suspect the issue you're referencing is related to that bug and that you would just need to uninstall and reinstall in order for it to go into effect.
Since the only items that should appear by default in that area are browsers, and because they should not be automatically set to deny, there should be no use for logs explaining why, since it was a bug causing it to end up that way to begin with, or a notification, since it shouldn't happen again.
Please uninstall and reinstall the program, making sure not to re-import existing settings when prompted during the installation. If the issue persists, we would like to know so we can continue to help with this issue.

Uninstalled and reinstalled as suggested. Same problem.

It's not actually on the threat list, but it is marked as an unknown. We'll see if we can get that fixed for you though.
