Hi @suhadolnik ,

We recently moved to a new community platform and a few links need to be slightly tweaked it seems.

Here's the new link to the post that Sherry was referring to: https://community.webroot.com/webroot-secureanywhere-antivirus-12/how-do-i-fix-a-handle-leak-in-explorer-exe-208108

Thanks!
