Sometime during the day on September 3rd, something changed. In the morning I was able to get onto the internet using IE and Firefox, and in the evening I was no longer able. Chrome, however, continued to work okay. Computer had been off during the day.
Took a few days of searching the internet and came across post from years ago suggesting internet security program was blocking a certain dll associated with IE. Once the security program was turned off, IE came back.
So, I tried turning off Webroot Security, and lo-n-behold IE and Firefox work just fine.
Kind of pointless to have Webroot Security if I can't browse with IE or Firefox. Would like to get this resolved since I had no problems prior to 9/3.
Any suggestions, thoughts?
Thanks

Have you thought of going to System Restore?
I would like you to do a clean reinstall which usually fixes this issues with IE and FF.
Can you please do a clean reinstall of WSA and Please follow the steps closely! (This installer is not for a Mac.)
- Make sure you have a copy of your Keycode
- KEEP the computer online for Uninstall and Reinstall to make sure it works correctly
- Download a Copy Here (Best Buy Subscription PC users click HERE)
- Uninstall WSA and Reboot
- Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode and don't import any settings as you can set it up as you like once it's done
- Let it finish it's install scan
- Reboot once again
Best Regards,

I have had the same Internet Explorer problem on two different Windows 7 computers.
It took me quite a bit of time and googling to find the probelm since I had no reason to suspect WRSA.
If it makes any difference, I am using WRSA that is included with my MSN Premium subscription.
The uninstall (using Windows control panel) and reinstall didn't work. The reinstall was so quick that I suspect the uninstall was not complete.
This problem may need a more in-depth solution.

This same issue is continuing after applying the solution above. I can open Explorer, search once on Google or go to one websire; then I cannot change to any other website. If I try to close Explorer, it will not respond and I need to use Task Manager to close. Then I close webroot in the icon tray and Explorer will work fine. Please help!
+62Hello ?,
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
I am sorry you are having these issues.
If you have already uninstalled/reinstalled Webroot as posted above. Then I'm not sure what else you can do.
Have you got the Lastest Adobe Flashplayer for IE and FF? That might help. Here is a post here with those updates... https://community.webroot.com/t5/Security-Industry-News/Adobe-Flash-Player-18-0-0-209-amp-Adobe-Shockwave-Player-12-1-9/m-p/208472#M16623
Other then that I'd advise you to submit a Support Ticket so that they can check this out for you free of charge with an active subscription.
? do you have anything you could add here?
Kind Regards,
