Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community Forums!

 

WSA has an integrated Identity Shield feature that provides a secondary layer of

defence against financial and information stealing malicious software.



Identity Shield assumes your PC may already be infected with sophisticated

and hard to detect malware such as a banking Trojan and neutralises the

threat by shutting off its data theft activities on your PC, thereby keeping your

identity and online activities secure.

 

The Identity Shield protects all the details you share with an internet bank. It protects 

information like login details, passwords, account numbers, credit card details and

personal information such as addresses, dates of birth etc. It also adds a second layer of

protection against highly targeted banking and information stealing Trojans to ensure your

identity and online activities are fully secure.

 

 

With your purchase of the Complete edition of Webroot SecureAnywhereTM, you can use the

Password Manager to automatically remember your user names and passwords, automatically fill

in web forms, and create a secure password for all your website transactions. You never need to

remember multiple login names and passwords again.

 

To keep your data safe from hackers, the Password Manager encrypts all your login and password

data on your local computer. Webroot uses the same encryption method employed by the US

Government for Top Secret data. The encrypted data is meaningless to Webroot and to anyone else

without the decryption key. This key is stored on your own computer and is created from your

email address and master password. Your personal data is never sent over the Internet and is never

stored on Webroot servers.
