The Webroot website says:

"Mac Version 9.0.9.60 (Released January 16th, 2019)"

"fixed misc bugs"



Does anyone know whether those "bugs" included ones that blocked internet access in an El Capitan MacBook Pro '09?
Hello @fidelis ,



Welcome to the Webroot Community,



Are you having an issue with El Capitan blocking internet connections? I am running El Capitan and I am not seeing this message.



Please try to uninstall Webroot and reinstall because sometimes this will fix these kind of issues.

Hello @fidelis ,



Sorry if I misunderstood your question...



I have researched here for notes about the Mac Releases and I did not find much about the bugs blocking Internet Access in the Mac. Or have a look at the Known Issues located HERE



This would be most likely answered by the Webroot Support Team because we do not know anymore then what the Releases tells us.

I'm guessing that the internet connection issue is not due to Webroot. After deleting the Webroot app, and before re-installing, I am still unable to connect to the internet. (And thus I cannot reinstall, since no internet means Webroot reinstall cannot be completed.)



I can get on the net via wifi, but with poor security assurances due to my internet provider - this issue is "in process" on their part (I hope).
Hello fidelis,



Thank you for letting us know. Hopefully your Internet Provider gets up and running soon. Please let us know if you need more assistance.
