I was unzipping a file and Macrium was running a backup in the background. Surprisingly, I got a window where I was asked if I wanted to allow this program to make changes to this computer. The Webroot icon was on the dialogbox asking this. I said no. I wasn't installing anything and I wasn't sure if the zip was doing something. Afterwards I thought that maybe it was webroot trying to update. I only remember seeing the Webroot icon on the panel. Was it Webroot and what do I do to get the update now that I declined?
Hi Kev914,

 

Just a thought here..have tyou rebooted your system to see if you get that message again? When Webroot updates it does it automatically and I don't recall getting these messages especially when Webroot updates from the cloud. I have version v9.0.0.65. When installing a program you will get this message.

Hi Ssherjj

 

Maybe it was a good thing I declined since I wasn't installing anything and I don't know why the panel came up. I tried unzipping the file again just to make sure it wasn't doing anything. I didn't get the installation panel this time.

 

I did see that if I right click on the webroot icon that there was an option to check for updates. When I did that, it said that I was already running the latest version and that it would update automatically so there was no need to check for updates. (Not sure if I'm quoting exactly.

 

I did have Nero open and I wanted to burn the files, but then I noticed that they were still zipped, so I opened an explorer window to extract them. Maybe that had something to do with it. I don't know. But I wasn't installing something that I didn't know what it was.

 

Thanks.
HI Kev914,

 

It's always better to be safe then sorry right? Happy you have gotten this straightened out!

 

Yes that's what Webroot saids when it's already updated.

 

Thank you for keeping up posted.

 

 

Have a great day!:D
