The speed at which a false positive is white-listed is great, but common whats going on here? it seems like WSA flags every file in the universe as a virus until someone specifically asks for it to be white-listed, I reported like 4 FPs this week



now this is the 4th: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/Apps_for_Win8.1/LiveUpdate/LiveUpdate_Win81_64_VER327.zip  The zip itself is not the virus, once you install the Live updater, when it runs, that gets flagged as a virus!



for the love of good it's an ASUS updater!



seriously considering to switch solutions as I can't deal with so many FPs and I thought Panda Cloud AV was bad! this is horrible!
well the first time it detected the virus I allowed it to run maybe that's why

Well to me it's better to be over protective and at least they fixed the FP for you!

I just found this post on Yahoo. I don't blame you for getting upset I had the same problem so I dumped Webroots crappyActually webroot doesn't create viruses it just gets a lot of false positives but yes I hate webroot for other reasons. It has way too many problems and cons to be distributed with OEM computers software.
Your right we dont create Viruses , we leave that to the malware authors. Your last few posts are just about slamming our product. I am sorry you dont like our software but spamming our forum with negative feedback isnt really helping anybody. 
@ , sorry you feel so negative about Webroot.  Your negativity accomplishes nothing. Lets not KILL THE MOOD in the community.  We are here to help eachother. SO I will ask you again to please read the https:///t5/Community-Announcements/Webroot-Community-Guidelines/td-p/2 AND follow them.
