Nastiest Malware 2023
Webroot® SecureAnywhere™ - Complete
Running Windows 10 Pro,22H2,x64 . Recently renewed my SecureAnywhere, and ran wsainstall.exe, entered new key and everything seemed good. Then started having Windows startup issues, not hardware, and I noticed in Task Manager, 5 processes running for Webroot, two of which show 32-bit. 3 processes have dark green circles with white W, the 2 32-bit ones have light green circle with black W. Two of the dark ones show associated with “WRCoreService” and “WRSkyClient” . One of the 32-bit ones shows “WRSVC”. Any chance that has anything to do with the startup issues? Thanks.
Ok so My webroot is expirecing in like 7 days , the popup keeps coming up onthe bottom right, so I purchased a new key from amazon and installed the new key and webroot works fine , it starts ike normal witht the green screen in the bottom right but the annoying messge also keeps poping up too saying “ Protection expiring soon! “ and I have to X it out every time. How do I stop this from occuring? its happening to all my devices even thought the program works fine with the new key entered.
As my Webroot subscription comes to renewal time, next month, I have the following observations on the sales tactics and general customer feedback. To begin with, there is no link to Customer Feedback. You can request technical support, but I wouldn’t bother that department with my feedback and/or personal complaints about the service. This leads to a customer feeling that the company doesn’t care what the end user feels about the service they are receiving. Also it would lead me to think that their technical support must deal with customers, who would like to voice their opinion about the functionality of these services. A general feedback link might alleviate such instances as well as give customers a general feeling of being important to the company they are forking out money to. I looked through everything and even Googled Webroot customer feedback. No such link existed so I found this community page. So, as I stated, about a month before my subscription expires, webroot gives me a
I have WEBROOT Internet Security Complete on my pc and WEBROOT Mobile Security on my android phone and tablet. I just got a new keycode today (my subscription actually expired yesterday) and was able to update on my pc. Despite searching I cannot see how to do it on the android products. The app on both the tablet and phone says I’m protected but there isn’t any way that I can see to get to my account to update the keycode. Do I have to uninstall and reinstall the app on those products?
Hello Everyone.Its been a while since I post a review. I hope everyone is doing OK. I missed all of you, this is a very good Forum. I have 5 Subscriptions of Webroot Secure Anywhere CE 24.2 Installed in 5 Separate Computers, and I am happy without any issues. I thing it used to called another name. I wanted to purchase one more Subscription and Install It to my friends Computer as a Gift, But I could not find any Links to do that. Therefore I purchased One single Subscription alone Webroot SecureAnywhere Anti Virus 1 Device 1 Year Subscription for $29.99 and I was charge $9.99 for a CD Installation which i did not wanted, and there was no option to uncheck the CD Software so the total came up to $41.00.After the Installations in my friend’s computer, I noticed Inside Utilities there is no System Optimizer. What is the different between my Subscription, and the one I purchased today?Can I upgrade it?Is Baldrick around?Thanks.
[ Link Removed ~ PTD] has the Webroot warning. Can someone help me get this verified and the warning removed?
How do I remove old obsolete PCs from my account. My dashboard shows PCs I no longer own.
Hello, I have recently installed Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security Complete on my computer. When I tried playing Farmville in Facebook, I would get a notification that "serve.truex.com" was harmful. Upon further investigation, I found that the website "truex.com" is an advertising content delivery website. Now here's the thing: I don't mind the website being blocked. When I navigate to that website in IE11 and Firefox 26, webroot blocks it with a warning. When I navigate to that website in Google Chrome browser, the site is not blocked and no warning is issued. I am worried about the inconsistency in potentially malicious website blocking based upon which browser is used.
I’ve used Webroot for years - happily. Within the last week, the full scan seems to take about twice as long, around 10 minutes instead of 4-5 minutes. I am wondering: Is a file of suspect websites and other scanning match targets kept on my home PC, or Are the match targets kept on the Webroot server?This morning’s scan said something like “using Webroot database.” I have never noticed that wording before. I glanced at my residential gateway (modem) and the fiber-to-local converter box, and both indicated high activity - lots of flashing green lights. I interpret this to mean that files on my PC are being compared to the Webroot server, not to a file kept on my home PC.Recently I added Visual Studio to my PC, and one or two other software items that suddenly seem to be taking up a lot of space. (I’m doing a lot of personal training using LinkedIn Learning, and in some cases downloading LIL’s provided example tiles.) These items might be the cause of the extended scan time.
I am getting an error message: " Component installer request" has failed. What causes this problem and how do I solve it? I am using an Imac computer.
I am long term user:I know we have been in this rodeo before, but…Webroot Antivirus Review 2024 — Is It Secure Enough? (safetydetectives.com)Not a bad deep dive contemporaneous review with some concerns for me. Also:IT Security Survey 2024 - AV-ComparativesThis is a surveyMaybe a, erm, ‘selective” sample, but respondents are users who have increased awareness.I appreciate the testing issues with AV-C, but, Webroot , really, does not feature anywhere in this survey. Any comments?
How does one go about escalating a support case?We have endpoints that have completely vanished from our GSM console, and support is non-responsive.(Endpoints are not visible even in the “Deactivated” group)I can’t tell if these endpoints have protection or not, much less what happened and why they have gone missing. I’ve pleaded with support for escalation and I’m given a boilerplate response of “Our backend team is investigating”.(It’s been a week)I’ve also requested the audit logs for the site where the endpoints have gone missing, but I’m still waiting. I’ve asked for a manager to call me, and I’ve asked for escalation.No matter what I do, I can’t seem to get any movement on this.How do I get support with Webroot?
Starting out by wishing everyone a most wonderful New Year:-)I originally bought and installed Webroot Secure Anywhere Complete for my desktop PC, running Windows 8.1 but I’ve upgraded to Windows 10 about a year ago or so. I originally bought the service through Amazon back around 2018. But for simplistic sakes I merely renewed through Webroot each year but at a much higher price. Currently they want $79.99 to renew for the next year however Amazon has it listed as: (Webroot Internet Security Complete | Antivirus Software 2024 | 5 Device | 2 Year Download for PC/Mac/Chromebook/Android/IOS + Password Manager, Performance Optimizer & Cloud BackupVisit the Webroot StorePlatform : Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 10, Mac OS X, Windows 11, Windows 7 )The two year subscription is listed at only $49.99, a great deal compared to the $79.99 to renew for the next 1 yr. So after a little searching about downloading it from Amazon someone said all that needs to be done is to enter the new act
Everything was fine for me running Webroot Antivirus until recently I experienced weird issue having the app closing my other program even though these program was added to the exception list in real-time shield. Since September 19 my Minergate v6.5 64bit for Win 10 application (found at [url=https://minergate.com/downloads/gui]https://minergate.com/downloads/gui[/url]) is automatically shut down by the Antivirus. This application is used for crypto currency mining and has been recently detected as a thread even there in no virus in it. I have allowed the Minegate.exe in real time shield and it is no longer detected as a thread however Webroot is closing Minergate automatically after couple of seconds. Uninstalling web-root solves this issue> I installed McAfee antivirus and confirmed that it does not causes this problem. Also I tried another PC using Webroot and have the same problem. My ticket is open with Support without any response which is very frustrating. Anyon

I am in need of some assistance. Webroot detected an active process to handle leak (desktop.exe). I have already ran the analyzer, scanned my computer and restarted it and I am still getting this message. How do I fix it?
In My Account on line, Security tab, it shows the devices protected under a given Keycode. For each, it shows the actual Device Name of that device. There is a pencil icon, which allows me to change that to a more convenient name (it shows the actual name, in smaller letters, below that). However, it then changes the name back to the default (i.e.: actual name of device). How do I prevent it from changing the name back?
Every now and then I will get the box asking if Webroot can make changes to my computer. What does that mean? Has Webroot performed an update when that happens?
Hello, I have been facing the subject issue continuously. To see if this issue can be resolved, I have tried the following but to no avail:1. Installing and reinstalling from the WSA homepage2.

Downloading and installing from the online console management websiteThe product I use is Webroot Internet Security Complete.Does anyone know a permanent fix to this issue?
When I log in at identity.webrootanywhere.com, the pages are in German! How do I reset this to English?
It's sad that PC Magazine no longer rates Webroot as an Editor’s Choice due to poor ransomware protection.I still use Webroot and my siblings use it on my recommendation. But has its buyout by OpenText lead to a diminished performance?I am fully aware that Webroot uses a method that most AV certification companies can’t measure but it seems to be going downhill.
