BrightCloud issues (2nd issue)

Rakanisheu,
 
Thank you for responding.
 
Agreed.  There were no known configuration changes between working and not-working.  The only unusual event was was cancelling the exectuion of "My Dell"; which per "My Dell" event log was the only time that had occurred.
 
I really would have liked to find out the underlying cause to avoid the "uninstall/reinstall" Webroot basic method.  Usually individuals in the Forums can help with these issues.
 
 
I didn't want "My Dell" reading and writing to every sector of every drive every day (between 4.5 to 24.5 TB) so it would have been reconfigured, blocked, or uninstalled anyway.  The comment; "I just removed the 'My Dell' program....installed Webroot and it runs like a charm!!! " at "https:///t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/Cannot-Connect-to-Servers/td-p/104624" was the deciding factor.
 
Godspeed,
Jim

I wish we could have figured out what the problem is, but....
 
Continuing to research I found a Webroot thread that talked about someone being unable to connect to any server.  After much wrangling someone suggesting uninstalling "My Dell" and reinstalling Webroot.
 
No, I'm not gonna do that without a better reason.  But wait, there's more!
 
While it turns out that "My Dell" has been runing on my system for a long time (a Dell Tech must have installed it), it was never running at a time that I saw it, until last Friday.  Each time it was seen running it was stopped.  (I planned to find out why it was running at a later time.)
 
Well, the last time it ran, and cancelled was on Friday morning in the wee hours.  It was when I woke up Friday morning Webroot was failing.
 
Ok, close enough.  My Dell was uninstalled.  (It was only doing drive checks of ALL drives connected to the system and I DO NOT want that happening.)
 
NO joy.
 
Groan.... uninstall Webroot, reboot, reinstall.  working. Updated the configuration as much as possible.  (15 denied connections were unable to be reapplied because the application was not running.)
 
Still working.
 
So, either Dell doesn't like Webroot, Webroot doesn't like Dell, or neither like the other... :D
 
Beth, thank you for perservering.  Hopefully this thread will help someone else in the future.
 
Godspeed,
Jim

It does appear in my browser (IE 11) but an "html formatting issue" was reported when trying to post.  After reviewing, the second attempt to post worked.
 
Would it help if a specific format was used .jpg,.png,.gif, etc.?)
 
Would it help if I sent it directly to either of you?
 
Thank you for  your help!

Techsupport did respond again to the very minor issue of the bad email address.  They have not responded to this issue.  For the bad email address....
 
Issue:  Emails from Brighcloud contain the following line.
Questions? Suggestions? Need help? Contact us at: dbchange@brightcloud.com
 
Email to that address fail to be delivered.
 
 
Brighcloud Response:  There is no way to directly contact the Brightcloud team unless they email you after you put in a change request like a reputation change request.  I am glad to hear that everything is working for your website, let us know if you still need further assistance. 
 
Result:
I have no idea what the last sentence means but, in response to the first sentence, it was suggested the Brightcloud team remove the email address since they know it will not work.  (I was trying to send further proof of the dangerous website with a 100 rating.  Normal turnaround is 24-48 hours but it took about 504 hours.  Eventually, they did change the rating to a 0 (zero).

I've passed along your feedback to the folks here and they're going to look into it.  Thanks for giving us feedback on the process!

It shows when I'm logged out - maybe you're seeing a cached version of the page from your browser.  Try doing a ctrl-f5 to force a reload.

Thanks Nic,
 
Tried it, I'm going to sign out, close my browser and run System Optimizer and start again.

Glad to hear the dangerous website has been taken care of.
 
The last line sounds like it may be a standard or automatic response / general response.
 
As for the email address, Nic did report the issue. I am sure he will follow up on it.
 
Sorry for the inconvenience,
 
Beth

never mind... :D

Hi!
 
Thank you for clarifying that. I will try IE and see if I have an icon as you described.
 
Have you heard anything more from support?

Beth,
 
I'm getting confused.  In response to Stehentony you said:
>>I'm not aware of BrightCloud having any issues. You do go Here and check the site in question don't you?
 
This suggests the Web Filtering  / Web Shield which used to generate icons of various colors to;

• SecureAnywhere shields modify the results display with icons that give you safety information about each website returned as a result of the search."

(See Webroot > Help (?) > Shielding your PC > Enabling-Disabling Shields) for the old icons and descriptions.  The new grey icon with lightning bolt has not yet been added to the list.
 
However, your response suggests we should always use the Brighclout URL Lookup website.  That suggests we should ignore the icons.  That, in turn, suggests we should turn off the Web Filtering and speed up our searches.  Since I KNOW that is not what you are suggesting  😃 I am obviously confused.
 
Please clarify.
 
Also, please clarify what the grey icon with lighthing bolt means.
Please find out why Brightcloud is now (as of Friday morning) not responding to Webroot.
 

Sorry for the confusion. That was not me who made that response to Stehentony, it was someone else:8 :D
 
I am trying to find out about this grey icon with lightning bolt. What browser are you seeing this with?
 

Hovering over the "grey icon with lightning bolt" brings up a tooltip with the following.
 
"rating not available - couldn't connect to the webroot reputation service"
 
Nothing about that error was found via google, webroot support, or webroot help.
 

Thank you.  No emails yet.
 
The first "issue" has been somewhat resolved.  It only took about three weeks to get Brightcloud updated, but it was.  The email address issue is not a significant issue.  It was only posted becuase it might indicate that changes, unknown to us, are effecting the application.
 
Godspeed,
Jim
