Hi craigf

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

I am not a Mac expert by any stretch of the imaginations but lets see if I can help a little here.

 

To check which version you have you should be able to (and I am going with this based on the PC version) click on the Utilities tab in the main panel which should expand to give you the following or something similar:

 



 

And you should see the Product name displayed there.

 

In terms of the issue you are having re. the Web Threat Shield I have found this previous thread which may contain some useful information as to resolving the problem...I recommend that you read it through completely before deciding what if anything to do, including the uninstall/reinstall process that is dscribed in the thread.

 

If nothing therein helps then I would Open a Support Ticket to let the Support Team help you with this issue...the servcie is free for all WSA subscription holder.

 

And finally I will our resident Mac guru @ to see if she can pick this up and suggest something that may help, from her vast repetoire of Mac-related experience with WSA.

 

Apologies that I cannot do more.  Please do post back to advise us as to how you are progressing with the issue.

Hi craigf

 

OK, well then as a Best Buy customer then your best option at present would be to contact The Geek Squad first (link to detail for that here) as they are your first port of call.

 

The it would be to follow the reamining options in my original response should they not be able to help you.

 

Again, apologies I cannot help out more.

Hello craigf,

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

Sorry this is a longer process then you want you might want to tackle. Support is a good option, You need these Webfilters in your browser!

 

I do believe a a uninstall/ reinstall as shown here should fix this issue, but I've never heard of a box popping up saying it could effect the look of Safari. ??

EDIT

Make sure you have your keycode available by Opening up Secure Anywhere and going to My Account and write the 20 digit code out.
