+21it looks like an Android / Google Play store thing limiting security apps use of call logs and SMS permissions.
I noticed this when Malwarebytes Android took out call protection and SMS link scanning from their app a few months ago.

Once again, after months of the password manager saga, Webroot makes another stupid move. First, they send no notice that they were discontinuing call blocking and sms blocking in their Android app, then they just remove it.
I had so many numbers stored in there from spam sources that were blocked. Poof, blocking gone, let the harassment begin.
This is now strike two for Webroot. Bad move. Very bad.

+1It would be helpful if someone were able to create a system where you could type in "secureweb apk 5.1" or something and it would help you find an APK that worked. 😉
