Greetings:
I have installed the free version in order to test it.
As I mentioned in another post, I somehow got infected with erotic pop-ups, these are formidably annoying due to 1) children (I am 47, have 4 daughters and a very young son), and me wife starts to become jealous...
Now, the traners are found and considered virusses (one is identified as a worm no less), but the infection is still present.
This can mean 2 things: either this infection is so new, it is unknown yet, or... WebRoot is not quite effective...
For now I am betting on the first theory...
I will try a few other removers, see where we get to.
About the information request: just how come that game trainers are seen as malware/virusses?
I am very much aware about the false positives they give, but just what causes this?
As for 'protecting' these, I excluded these from further scans, allowing them to exist, and I am so bloody glad, WebRoot atually listens to my wishes.
As said in that other post, I have had 2 programs not being this polite.
For this alone already, I am VERY grateful.
I will keep you posted about the infection, if I am able to find it, I will try to send you the information so you can update your catalog...
Kindest regards:
Luke.

Hello Ratapan,
There are numerous reasons that trainers may be detected as malware... without getting too technical, a lot of it is how they interact with other programs, and they tend to share other characterics with malware as well.
Please Submit a Support Ticket so that we can look into the popup issue.
