I have a brand new Windows 10 machine with Webroot Secureanywhere complete installed.   Every hour on the hour I get popups that my virus and anti-spyware are not installed but when i check the windows security console it says everything is copacetic.  I am assuming there is a bug either in webroot or windows that leads to this.  Has anyone else had the same problem and figured out how to fix it?

 

I have attached a screenshot of the messages i am getting.

Hello scout1067

 

Wel;comet o the Webroot Community,

 

The Webroot Development team has been notified of this issue and is currently working on a resolution.

 

They expect to address this issue in an upcoming software version release, which will be downloaded automatically to your computer and installed when it is available. Please note that Webroot SecureAnywhere is functioning properly and it is protecting your device as expected. However, if you find these alerts to be bothersome, you have a couple of options.

 

You may either disregard the notification that temporarily indicates your security is turned off or you may disable the notifications in Windows Security Center by following the instructions below:

 

1. In the bottom left of the desktop, search for Control Panel

2. Click on “System and Security”

3. Click on “Security and Maintenance”

4. On the left side menu click “Change Security and Maintenance settings”

5. Uncheck the box for “Spyware and unwanted software protection” and “Virus Protection”

6. Click “OK”

7. Restart your computer.

 

If you select the latter, once we’ve release a new version that addresses this issue, it is advised that you re-enable the settings above by checking the boxes “Spyware and unwanted software protection” and “Virus Protection”

Additionally, once the newer version has been installed, please check to see if the issue you reported is still occurring. If it is, please let us know as we will need to troubleshoot the issue further.



I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused
