Dear all,

By accident, I block one of the access right from Whatsapp Desktop’s window registry setting.

 

Whatsapp Desktop cannot connect to internet everytime I run it!

I have to disable Webroot’s Realtime Shield, Web Shield & Firewall first to make Whatsapp working again, then I go back to enable all the Shields again.

 

how can I  grand the access right to Whatsapp again to solve the problem?

 

Thanks for any kinds of help!

Hello @hhtmp88 

 

Instead of going through many settings it’s best to do a clean reinstall.

 

Please follow the steps closely!

  • Make sure you have a copy of your 20 Character Alphanumeric Keycode! Example: SA69-AAAA-A783-DE78-XXXX
  • Be sure you add your Keycode to your Online Console: Webroot SecureAnywhere Online Console
  • KEEP the computer online for Uninstall and Reinstall to make sure it works correctly
  • Download a Copy Here (Best Buy Geek Squad Subscription PC users click HERE) Let us know if it is the Mac version you need
  • Uninstall WSA and Reboot
  • Go into Safe Mode and Delete these Folders if they are there!
  • C:\Program Files\Webroot Folder
  • C:\ProgramData\WRData Folder (Hidden Folder)
  • C:\ProgramData\WRCore Folder (Hidden Folder)
  • Boot back into normal mode
  • Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode
  • Let it finish it's install scan
  • Reboot once again
  • DO NOT import any old settings as you can set it up as you like once it's done
