Hi nweiss

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

 

Essentially the browser extensions provide blocking protection against malicious websites, realtime anti-phishing protection, and safety ratings when using search engines. 

 

Each function can be enabled or disabled separately using individual controls for each function.

 

Hope that helps?

 

Regards, Baldrick

Hello nweiss,

 

Welcome to the Webroot Community,

 

Just to add if I may to Baldricks explanation..

 

Please have a look here at the PC User Guide.

 

Basically the Web Filter protects you from bad Web Pages by Blocking them and give Web Site Ratings when doing searches with Google, Yahoo and Bing. All done by the Webroot WIN Cloud: http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php & http://www.brightcloud.com/tools/change-request-url-reputation.php

 

 

Hope this helps as well?
