Yes siree! 😉

Thanks for posting, Petr
 
Well, that should go some way to highlighting to the doubters how much better WSA is than the competition...but will they listen even in the face of this evidence...I suspect not...unfortunately...as if it does not conform to their expectation of what is the norm then it cannot be any good.
 
Nice one to all at Webroot for producing what we know is the best of breed. :D

Thank you Petr, I hope those doubters will take note now.

so we have to depend on other program for exploit protection?
?
 

That is not strickly true but given that no security application (even WSA) is 100% for 100% of the time...and therefore a layered approach is recommended for complete security. Fo that reasons WSA was designed from the ground upwared to be compliant/paly well with other security solutions.
 
Whilst in most cases you should be perfectly safe when using WSA on its own many like to use a dedicate/specialist anti exploit application in tandem just like using a 2nd opinion scanner.

So many user PC's are not even kept updated so the way WSA handles Exploits is to keep and eye out for the payload the exploits try to download and install so in that case WSA's Realtime Shield will jump all over the payload and that's the important part!
 
Realtime shield. Monitors unknown programs to determine whether or not they contain threats. Blocks known threats from running on your computer that are listed in Webroot’s threat definitions and in our community database. You should never disable this shield.
