I'm having the exact problem on my Samsung galaxy s8+. Please post a solution asap! Thank you. DJ
Hi,
There was some difficulty providing secure browsing on your device through our Mobile Security app. We are researching solutions, so hopefully this is just temporary.
In the meantime, we can still offer secure browsing on your device using our SecureWeb Browser app. It's available here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webroot.secureweb
Kind regards,
My phone has the same issue. This is a recent change/problem. I also have the Webroot Secure Browsing app loaded that works, but not sure why this feature is not working on the Mobile Security app. I have the most recent version of the Webroot mobile app loaded 5.0.0.10759. I have a Verizon/Motorola Z Play Droid Android Version 7.1.1. I'm interested in any information on the fix you can provide when available. Thank you.
HI Sophia,
Any updates for a solution for this? If not, where is it on the list of fixes?
It is intresting that android editions of ESET and Emsisoft do not has such issues...
Thanks,
DJ
I see that this issue goes back to 2/18. Currently having this issue with 2 out of 3 moble devices. Motorola phone and new Samsung tablet. Talked to support and they say this issue is being investigated. They asked the model numbers of the devices and said they would add them to the list of devices with this issue if they weren't already on it. Also said not to worry, you are still secure. - Even though there is a warning that "You are at risk". Hmmm.
Subscription will expire in 3 weeks....probably going to look into a different security software.
Well, I was thinking of adding some extra seats to cover my android devices, but it appears that there isn't a mobile application that full works. For several years, I used the free version on my Samsung tablet and and had no issues. But then about 2 months ago, Webroot said that I had a couple of issues. I currently have SecureAnywhere Mobile installed. It says that Secure Web Browsing is turned off and that I need a separate application. When I say to fix this, it takes me to a page that sayd that the needed application is not compatible for this device and there is no button to install it.
I've searched the store for other Webroot apps thinking that I need a new app, but I'm not really finding any that seem appropriate. There are a couple that are grayed out and had an old tag. There is the one I already have (which it says may not be optimized for my device.) And one for VPNs.
So are Android devices no longer supported?
Thanks.
Hello
@,
Sorry to hear you are having this issue. I believe you are asking/needing the SecureWeb Browser right? Please look here at the
Google Play Store
Just to make sure do you have this version of
Webroot Mobile here?
Hope this helps?
Hi Ssherjj
Thanks for the reply.
Yes to you first link. When I click on it, it takes me to a page in the play store. I see some red text that says that this product isn't compatible with my device ( a samsung tablet.) And there is no install button (presumably because they say it isn't compatible.)
And yes to your second link. I have that one installed, but it said when I updated that it might not be optimized for my device. but it let me install it anyway.
So those were both the links that my device was taking me to.

Hi Kev914,
Sorry that I wasn't able to help out much. At this point would you mind
Submitting a Support Ticket and they can see what is going on? I have a Samsung Note 8 and I am not having this issue. But you are using a Samsung Tablet and I have heard of this incompatibility before.
Just bot new Samsung tab S4 and installed Webroot, but secure web will not install either from the program or from Play Store. Play Store says not compatible with my Samsung S4 Android tablet. Why can't I install Secure Web on this, the latest tablet?
By the way, I am not a new member as indicated on my post just filed, I am a long-time subscriber and rather perturbed that play store is not allowing me to install this auxiliary program. please advise.

Does your device meet the minimum requirements?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webroot.secureweb&hl=en
Requires Android4.4 and up
I contacted support about this and they said that they were aware that the software was incompatible with a small number of devices. They said they were looking into a fix but didn't know when it would be available. They did say that the main application does work, so I think they were saying that I'm still protected even though the second application can 't be installed.
I hope I have paraphrased them correctly.
Thank you Kev..appreciate your checking on this for me.
Interesting what Support said since I'm just upgrading Samsung tablets from S2 to S4...same setup & operating system. (Strange)
Thanks again for checking.
My Google Pixel C, running Android 8.1, the latest update, has the same incompatability issue.

I have same issue with my new tablet as well as my previous one. Initially worked on my Lenovo tablet (Android 6), but when I reset it back to factory default, got the not compatible error, although Webroot Mobile Security & Antivirus app installed again OK. Same issue with my new Huawei tablet (Android 8 ). Strangely Google Play is showing it is installed, when it isn't. Pic is from my desktop computer. Not a big issue for me as I can use other browser and just posting in case it will help (Archos is an old tablet running 4.0 so that I know isn't compatible anymore anyway)
