Heaven sent WSAC to Sydney, Australia

Hi all, Just want to add my praises to Webroot. Sorry for the long post, but thought you should understand why Webroot is heaven sent for me. No internet security suite would work on my PC. I had been using Kaspersky Internet Security for years (even though it was painful to live with) but kaspersky Internet Security support ran out on 31Dec2011 and it stopped working. Then I went on a mission trying Kaspersky Internet Security 2012, Norton Internet Security 2012, F-Secure Internet Security, Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security 2012 - some would not install and rolled back, others could not validate the subscription key.   it was then my ISP suggested remote assistance (which I had to pay for) but after 12 sessions over some 55 hours involving 62 PC reboots they could not resolve the problem. So my PC was written off as being too old (hardware is 8 years, and software Win XP Pro SP3) - I was advised to scrap it and buy a more up to date PC. Reason I have kept the PC so long was that

Detection Reporting and Alerts

Hello,   I am testing the SecureAnywhere Endpoint product. I selected to be alerted "immediately" when there is a detection, and then I downloaded the EICAR test file. The file was detected and removed, but I don't see any detections listed in the console and I did not receive an email. How is detection data reported back to the console, and when should i expect to be notified in the event of a detection?

Web Based OS - Boot to Gecko

Just an interesting article, I am not really for or against, just an interesting concept. As with all tech, it may go no where or it might actually gain some traction. If it does gain traction, the need for Security will be higher than ever!   [url=http://money.cnn.com/2012/02/28/technology/boot_to_gecko/index.htm]http://money.cnn.com/2012/02/28/technology/boot_to_gecko/index.htm[/url]     -Keith

How do I delete search browser hijacker? search-milk.net

Anyone know how to get rid of the search browser hijacker?  It is search-milk.net.    I downloaded Webroot Anywhere 2012 last week, but I can't get it to find it...wondering if it I need an additional program from Webroot?    The reading I have done thus far, has said this is a bad malware/spyware program.    Help.

How Not to Destroy a Kid's Online Reputation

Online browsing and social media sites [url=http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2010/Reputation-Management.aspx]play a central role[/url] in building your identity online. This means that kids are especially susceptible to publishing regrettable content online.    If you have a teen who is active online, here are some way to keep them from crossing over to the proverbial Dark Side:   [b][u]Teach them that they are searchable online[/u] [/b]The Pew Internet Project found that “two thirds of online teens are content creators–meaning they create videos, post photos, write blogs and message boards." While these activities serve as a way to participate in social networking, teens run the risk of posting something they might later regret.   According to one study, 19% of adults use search engines to discover a person's professional contacts (coworkers, competition, etc), and 11% use Google as a tool to weed out applicants for jobs.   The bottom lin

Don't Fall for the Fake Hallmark Scam

A seemingly legitimate email from Hallmark (but it's not really Hallmark) is making the rounds in our inboxes. This spamvertising campaign tries to lure you in to retrieving an "E-Card," but ends up giving you a dose of malware instead.    Reduce your chances of falling for the scam. Get the details and see a screenshot here: [url=http://blog.webroot.com/2012/02/17/spamvertised-hallmark-ecard-campaign-leads-to-malware/]http://blog.webroot.com/2012/02/17/spamvertised-hallmark-ecard-campaign-leads-to-malware/[/url]

Microsoft Urges Critical Security Update

Microsoft is urging users to apply a critical security patch that could leave some users vulnerable to threats.    "The critical IE update affects versions 7, 8, and 9, and could allow an attacker to remotely run code on a user's PC using a 'specially crafted Web page,' according to Microsoft. As such, someone who exploited the hole could grab the same rights as the local user, of special concern if the user has administrative rights," said Lance Whitney, CNET correspondent.   We recommend turning on automatic updates in Windows to help close the window of vulnerability. Learn about automatic updates here: [url=http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Understanding-Windows-automatic-updating]http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Understanding-Windows-automatic-updating[/url] Read the article on CNET [url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57378368-75/microsoft-advising-users-to-apply-latest-critical-security-patches/#ixzz1mU2Skll2]here[/url].
