Scans halt at Rootkit

Every time I do a scan, the scan stops 11% of the way and hangs up when looking for rootkits. What’s happening and how do I fix this?

Internet restarting

Webroot appears to be causing my internet connection to continually restart or reset at least a dozen times a day. Sometimes it does it once and I have connection back after 20 seconds and other times I have waited for up to 15 minutes before I can use the internet again.The only way I can get continual and uninterrupted internet connection is to disable Webroot entirely. I have changed my DNS setup from “auto” to manual and am using Google’s DNS servers.I have also removed WR and reinstalled - same result.Has anyone else experienced this - I cannot seem to find it in the various threads posted here.

Mac OS Roadmap

I’ve noticed there have not been any updates to the Mac OS version since late 2023. Does Webroot intend to continue to support Mac OS, or is the product on life support only?

WiFi Security wrong country

Hi, So today I’ve tried to connect to various countries with the WiFi security, and when I choose Cyprus I end up in… Saint Petersburg, Russia. Not the country I want to be in, not even neighbours. Please fix this ASAP.  Kind regards

Relation between Webroot and Best Buy.

I have run Webroot for many years and have a current subscription. I saw a possible indication of a virus on my desktop computer and went to support where I got redirected to the Best Buy Geek Squad and told that I was entitled to a free remote session to check out my computer.  I was then refused the free session because I hadn’t bought Webroot from Best Buy and they had no record of me subscribing to it.  Is this how it’s supposed to work?

MSEDGEW

As of yesterday, I started getting a Webroot pop up when I start my computer telling me that this event wants to install itself to start up every time the computer does. I didn’t know what it was, so I may have blocked it as Webroot suggested. But then there was another pop up saying that it was trying to connect to the internet. Looking online, I found that this program was a part of Window, maybe edge. I tried allowing it, but all that does is refresh the pop so the timer resets. It does this over and over if I click on the allow button. If I let it go until Webroot says it will allow it (2 minutes I think), then the pop up goes away. But today it popped up a second time doing the same thing. I did sent in a support ticket, but I figured I’d check here.I can’t say for sure that it said that it wanted to install itself to run on start up today for sure. I didn’t think to check. It may have or it may not have. I did look under Blocked items under PC Security, but nothing was listed. Do

Webroot Blocking all Nividia Product Updates

It appears that Webroot is blocking all of my NVIDIA product updates with error code:  0x80070005.  I have added every “.exe” file in all of my NVIDIA Corporation folders to the Webroot “Allow” category to no avail.  Where can I see what exact files Webroot is blocking so that I can fix the issue. If this will be an issue of blocking without an opportunity to override the block in the future, using Webroot will waste my time and lose any functionality for me.

Unable to cancel Webroot Subscription

Hello,I used to have a laptop that I used Webroot on until I replaced the laptop in March 2023. Prior to getting rid of it, I believed I had cancelled the subscription to Webroot. However, I was just checking bank statements now and saw I was charged 29.99 for “Webroot Yearly Plan” in October 2024 Since I lack the keycode to cancel since the laptop is gone, I attempted to put in my email to Webroot’s Auto-renewal Cancellation link here:https://www.webroot.com/us/en/auto-renewal-optoutWhich gave me the response shown in the attached picture. So I called the number and Best Buy confirmed what I had said, that the subscription had been cancelled in March 2023. I asked for my keycode to attempt cancelling on Webroot site just in case, which they gave me. When I entered the keycode, I got the other attached image, saying this license is not currently enrolled in autorenewal. The Best Buy support person was unsure of how to help and recommended I call Webroot and gave me their support number

Webroot isn't deleting fake anti-virus

I’ve been a Webroot user for almost 12 years and am generally pleased with it.However, I have recently been getting fake virus alerts from “Microsoft” and “McAfee” and Webroot isn’t erasing them. For example, a loud alarm tone will sound off from my wife’s laptop, then a few verbal warnings  that we should call “Microsoft” immediately. If I run Webroot at that point, it doesn’t delete the malware, even if I re-boot, etc...Is there a quick fix for this, or do I need to re-install the software?Thanks,Roy in New Mexico

How can I tweak Win 11 and/or Webroot VPN to work better?

Got a new computer, that’s good and bad.  Has WIn 11 Pro.  Since I’ve had it my Webroot VPN doesn’t work as well.  Slows down the internet feed horribly and disconnects have increased.  This has happened on different routers and with different IP providers at multiple locations, so I don’t think it’s a provider thing.  Any suggestions?

Renewal does not carryover remaining days

Just renewed Webroot SecureAnywhere for 1 year with 29 days remaining and the renewal subtracted the 29 days rather than apply them to the renewal end date.  Doesn’t that seem dishonest?

Lasspass Webroot version

I’ve been using the LassPass that is include with Webroot for some time. The other day I was using Edge and LassPass wasn’t installed. So I went to the Microsoft store and I got it and installed it. I entered my password and I thought all was good. Then I went back to Firefox. But now when I click on my vault or some other tasks, it sometimes asks me for a payment method. I don’t remember it doing that before. At that point I looked up how to install Lastpass for Webroot and I see you get it from your console. So I went there. And I followed the prompts and it said that Lastpass had change. I followed all the prompts and it was successful. Said Lastpass powered by Webroot. But I still get the payment prompt sometimes.So how do I know if I have the version of LastPass for Webroot. I’ve looked all over the app, but I don’t see where it says Powered by Webroot any where. Should I see that somewhere?Up in the right corner, it does show my email and underneath it says premium user.Or is the

Mac OS X - CloudStorage folder - Scanning slows to 1-5 files per second...

So I always remembered Secure Anywhere being fast. I haven’t payed attention to it in a long time as far as scanning time goes. I just renewed my subscription and went through the settings again. I was noticing over the past few days that there was no last scan info. Then I see the program isn’t finishing a scan even after 9 hours. From what I can see it is slowing down in the user/library/CloudStorage folder. I have put the folder in the “Ignore” but it still seems to scan it. I tried to save and look at a log file but when I look at the timestamp it’s not listing the CloudStorage folder. I know its scanning the Dropbox folder as I can see the files while it’s scanning and they are only located there. Another odd thing is 95% of my dropbox is offline. Any thoughts appreciated…Mac OSX Sequoia 15.2Webroot Version 9.6.4.85: 1729

What is the difference between Home and Business versions? From the system requirements here, the Home version supports for the latest Mac OS version Sequoia, but the Business Endpoint version doesn’t? Only Mac Ventura?

WSA holding onto volumes from DMG or USB when trying to eject.

Anyone else see this issue and hopefully have a work around:When I mount a DMG disk image, or plug in a USB drive to my MacBookPro, I cannot eject it because I am told one or more  programs may be using it. This even happens if NO programs are shown as running. I have noted that if I quit WSA (shut it down) I can then eject these drives  But WSA scanning the drives  it seems leaves some process open that still has an active pin to the drives.  I do not want to force eject an HD, or even a DMG as it can damage the image or drive. Suggestions anyone? (FYI: Webroot Customer Service suggested I shut down WSA, eject the drive, and then turn it back on. WORST SOLUTION EVER.)
