Firstly, is all data sent to and from my PC via WSA over an encrypted connection? Secondly, once my data in on Webroot's servers, is that also encrypted?
You deserved to be thanked again Joe, so thanks.
I won't ask what encryption Webroot uses, but I'd like to think it's Twofish - purely because I dig Bruce Schneier.

We don't collect any private information (it would be expensive to store and pointless for us to use) so there isn't anything anyone can glean from our backend. Of the data we do send, which is used for determining files as malicious, we encrypt it end-to-end. We don't use SSL as the overhead is significant but our encryption is similar and very strong, although this is primarily just to prevent data tampering rather than hiding what's being sent.
