MY WEBROOT SAID "WRSkyClient.x64" IS NOT A TRUSTED PROCESS.


WRSkyClient.x64 was trying to connect to the internet.

Why would Webroot Not trust one of it’s own processes?  Seems strange.

Hello @LanTX 

 

So your saying that you got a message from Webroot’s firewall or AV about WRSkyClient.x64? That is an odd one because I use a 3rd party Firewall and WRSkyClient.x64 asked to call out today but nothing from WSA on my end. Maybe @BradW or @PVaddi can give us some info!

 

 

 

 

Thanks,

This just happened to me today -- exactly the same file!

So it’s not fixed…

Win 7 with all patches… (and yes, I know it’s an old OS but produce software, so we keep multiple machines running different OSs for texting purposes)

I’m not sure if WSA is still supported on Win 7 so let me ping a couple Webroot Staff! @BradW  @TylerM also this thread is over 2 years old and we don’t see these issues now.

 

And in case you would like to try a clean reinstall!

 

Please follow the steps closely!

  • Make sure you have a copy of your 20 Character Alphanumeric Keycode! Example: SA69-AAAA-A783-DE78-XXXX
  • Be sure you add your Keycode to your Online Console: Webroot SecureAnywhere Online Console
  • KEEP the computer online for Uninstall and Reinstall to make sure it works correctly
  • Download a Copy Here (Best Buy Geek Squad Subscription PC users click HERE) Let us know if it is the Mac version you need
  • Uninstall WSA and Reboot
  • Go into Safe Mode and Delete these Folders if they are there!
  • C:\Program Files\Webroot Folder
  • C:\ProgramData\WRData Folder (Hidden Folder)
  • C:\ProgramData\WRCore Folder (Hidden Folder)
  • Boot back into normal mode
  • Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode
  • Let it finish it's install scan
  • Reboot once again
  • DO NOT import any old settings as you can set it up as you like once it's done

Info in case you don’t know how to go into Safe Mode: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-your-pc-in-safe-mode-in-windows-10-92c27cff-db89-8644-1ce4-b3e5e56fe234

 

Please let us know if that resolves your issue?

Thanks,
