Me again :)

 

Most browser protection is built into the main WSA program.  As long as all shields are turned on, (And the icon down by the clock is green ONLY when all shields are turned on) you are pretty much good to go.

 

The only part that is not built into the main program is the Web Filter Extension.  This is what actively blocks web sites known to be potentially malicious.  If you look at your browser extensions/add ons, as long as the Web Filter Extension is present and enabled,  you are fully protected.

 

Most of the time, you won't see any indication at all that WSA is protecting your browser.. it works nicely in the background without bothering you.  If you do happen to try to go to a malicious site is when you will see something.... a nice red page blocked warning 🙂

To add what David said when the Browser is open there should be a little yellow Padlock on the Webroot Tray Icon! 

 

Thanks,

Yes, I neglected to mention that. Thanks Daniel!   NOTE: This only shows when the browser is the active window.   🙂

Daniel, try this experiment:

 

Open a browser window and 'snap' it in place on the left hand side of your screen.

 

Open your image editor, and 'snap' it in place on the right side of your screen

 

Watch what happens with the Webroot icon when you click the browser, making it the active window.

Watch what happens when you click on the image editor, making it the active window.

 

The lock should dissapear when you click on the image editor :)

Right on my friend or in others words the browser has to be in the forefront and be the active window that's where some testers get it wrong as the testing app is in front of the Browser window so the browser can't be the active one so in this case no one can steal your info or see any of this!
