Webroot Add Ons
+1Just installed Webroot on the Lenovo Yoga I bought from Best Buys. I now see that there are 2 Add-Ons that are waiting to be ENABLEd. The Add-Ons are 1) Webroot Filtering and 2) Webroot Extensions. Should these Add Ons be Enabled?

Hi saraiyk
Welcome to the Community Forums.
Yes, you should enable these as they are part of WSA's protection for you when online. The Web Filtering addon provides the website rating that you will see to the left of each search result when Googling or Binging, which is likely to be the most visible of the extensions. The extensions also involve phishing protection utilising the Webroot Intelligence Network and BrightCloud URL filtering technology.
If you find that you do not need, or do not want these extensions you can always come back to the Manage Addons/Extensions option in your browser and disbale them.
Hope that helps?
