I've used Webroot for years... Good stuff you guys!

 

The "May be a dangerous website" warning is a nice feature... But how can I control its sensitivity?

 

I get the warning far too frequently! I get the warning even when I go to sites that I *KNOW* are fine.. (I've built them, maintain them and am responsible for their security.. They are scanned daily for security problems - they in no way are dangerous)

 

What sorts of things trip the "may be dangerous" warning? Is there a way for me to desensitize it?

 

Thanks!

Ken
Hello kdawes01 and Welcome to the Webroot Community Forums!



 

You can't change the sensitivity but if you feel a website is being blocked and shouldn't be just fill out this form: http://www.webroot.com/customerSupport/repchangerequest.php more info here: http://www.brightcloud.com/ and how it works http://www.brightcloud.com/services/web-classification.php

 

HTH,

Hi kdawes01

 

Welcome to the Community Forums...http://www.forumsextreme.com/images2/sSig_welcome3.gifhttp://www.forumsextreme.com/images2/sSig_welcome3.gifhttp://www.forumsextreme.com/images2/sSig_welcome3.gif

 

EDIT: Ah, I see that Daniel beat me to it again...:D

 

There is currenlty no way for us as users to do that from the client but what we can do is to notify Webroot via either:

 

IP Reputation Change Request  OR

 

URL Reputation Change Request

 

depending on which is appropriate the the circumstances.

 

Not brilliant, and it is time consuming, but for the moment that is it until the new Web Threat Filtering develops further...which I am pretty certain it will.

 

HTH?

Hi kdawes01

 

One other small suggestion...if you have any ideas about what sort of 'sensitivity' functionality might be a useful feature then why not raise a Feture Request in the Ideas Exchange (see top of any page) where other users can comment on & support your idea if they find it a good one...and the Development Team do review ideas submitted there.

 

Every little helps...as they say! http://www.forumsextreme.com/images2/sSig_yes.gif

Thanks for the quick responses!

 

I'll leave something as a Feature Request.. And thanks also for a place to send "site is ok" messages!

 

Thanks!
