Emails
Does webroot WSA Complete check emails in and out for viruses etc?
+62Hello GarryOS,
Welcome to the Community Forum,
Emails aren't scanned by Webroot, but as soon as you try to run a malicious attachment WSA would block the execution and protect your PC. Also if you would click on a link in an email the URL will be scanned against the cloud database.
You have to keep in mind that WSA works a bit different than other antivirus solutions; instead of scanning everything all the time and wasting hardware resources, Webroot tries to intelligently protect you PC against threats.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
