Call me paranoid, but I like to delete all history of my web browsing activity on FireFox.

I blow away AppDataMozillaLocal and AppDataMozillaRoaming to start.

 

Webroot Filtering Extension is following me everywhere I go on the web.  Sometimes it intercepts me when a grey hat web page tries to silently forward me to a another, dangerous web page, marked by Webroot Filtering Extension.

 

So.. there must be a running Webroot Filtering Extension log somewhere.  Where is it?

 

Example:

11:14:09 google.com OK

11:15:32 evilpage.evil BLOCKED

11:16:00 webroot.com OK

etc..

 

I don't want my Webroot Filtering Extension "popcorn trail" out there somewhere if I can purge it on occassion

 

Thanks.
Hi Claveman

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

I am not sure if what you are lookingfor exists per se, and if it does then i suspect that it will be split amongst a number of log files. I have had a look at the files held in the hidden folder C:ProgramdataWRdata, and whjilst I can see some references to my browsing history it is far from complete.

 

You may want to investigate the files held there but if you do I should caution you that this folder is hidden for a good reason and changing anything therein without knowing what you are doing may render WSA unstable or may just prevent it from working.

 

The other alternative is that you Open a Support Ticket and ask the Support Team this very same question.

Thanks

 

In file  C:ProgramDataWRData I see a log back to my last install of Webroot in December

 

File WRLog.log I see hundreds of blocked site logs.  For example the site  below https:// clicked on it..<br /> Sun 2015-12-13 23:24:42.0295 Blocked website: [url=http://badwebsite.xx]http://badwebsite.xx

 

So.. I will be purging that file regularly.

 
Hi Claveman

 

You are most welcome...glad to be able to assist. Having said that I need to repeat that this folder and its sub folders are hidden for a reason. i.e., they should not be touched by someone who does not know what they are doing/what the effect will be in relation to WSA.

 

So please tread carefully when making any changes therein as, as previously stated, a change could make WSA unstable/might necessiate an uninstall/reinstall of the application.

Thanks.  I hear ya.  Most people would not understand that the Webroot service needs to lock its log file at all times (so you have to shut down protection if you want to delete the log).

 

Forgive my lack of patience.  I have made a hobby of trying to keep my internet activity private.  It's like "whack a mole" -- everytime I think I have all the logs marked, another pops up!
