CryptoLocker virus
I read that CryptoLocker is active. Does Webroot protect against this virus?

"WSA can detect and block Cryptolocker, and if an unknown variant happens to slip through, WSA should be able to roll back the changes as part of the cleanup routine using journalling as long as WSA was installed prior to the files being encrypted. WSA can not decrypt files encrypted by Cryptolocker on a system that was infected prior to WSA being installed. We have improved and continue to improve WSA in order to handle these types of threats."
