Hello Craig and Welcome to the Webroot Community!

 

Personally I have been using WSA from the Beta stage in early 2011 and would not using anything else IMO. With that said have a look at a couple short Video's as to how WSA works and differs from Traditional AV's:

 

1.

 



 

 

2.

 



 

And with Webroot's large WIN Database how can other AV's keep up with the large influx of Malware? http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php

 

 

 

Also you must use Windows Firewall or a Thrid Party Firewall with WSA as it's only Outbound:

 

"The SecureAnywhere firewall monitors data traffic traveling out of your computer ports. It looks for untrusted processes that try to connect to the Internet and steal your personal information. It works with the Windows firewall, which monitors data traffic coming into your computer. With both the SecureAnywhere and Windows firewall turned on, your data has complete inbound and outbound protection."

Hope this helps you understand how WSA works and it's the future and it's here now!

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel ;)

? i guess it suffises to say i'm happy because some of the sites i frequent are not  that high on WR's popularity list ( no not the p*** sites i mean but mainland chinese sites that are riddled with stuff that will seriously mess up your pc ) and i've not yet encountered any issues with my machine. So yes i'm happy else i'd not be around here still using WRSA.
