Earlier this week, the Associated Press's Twitter account was hacked and a hacker Tweeted out “Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is ?injured.”  These mere 71 characters of text were responsible for a temporary overall value loss of an estimated $136.5 billion on the stock market.  As the day went on, and people began to realize it was a hoax, the market quickly re-stabilized.  It really underlines both the power of a single Tweet and the importance of using an unbreakable password.   (image: digitaltrends)   As easily as a hacker cracked the password to the AP account, hackers are able to break into poorly protected accounts every day - whether they are ban

There are a few new features we've just activated on the Community to be excited about. 1. Accepted Solutions Notifications As many of you may have noticed, you're now receiving Accepted Solutions Notifications for topics to which you are subscribed.  So if you're keeping track of a topic to see when it becomes solved, it's now a bit easier to do that.   2. Pictures are now visible when using the Mobile view on mobile devices. This should make our mobile users a bit happier! :D   3. Tablets (just tablets - not phones) now display the non-mobile view by default.  Generally speaking, tablets are better-suited to display the full view than the mobile view.  You still have the option to switch to the mobile view if you prefer it.   And coming soon... @Mentions Using this feature, you'll be able to tag users in a post by putting the @ symbol

Hi Everyone!   The Community Guidelines have been updated today.   No Post Shilling Even in the off-topic boards, there needs to be some valuable takeaway from any topic that is created.  Topics that exist only to drive up member post counts are frowned upon and will be closed.  Those kind of topics don't add anything of value to the discussion and can actually hurt the community.  For instance, for new members it can seem confusing to see nothing but a single non-Webroot-related topic filling up the recent posts list.  It's ultimately left to moderator discretion to determine what falls into this category, but to give an example, it would be topics like random word association games.  It's ok to create topics that are lengthy though, as long as there is some tan

First it uploaded a "Get to know Windows 8" video to YouTube, and late yesterday it published a "Windows 8 End User Training Brochure" in its Download Center. Unlike the video, the 36-page PDF guide is definitely new (there’s a screenshot from April 2013) and will prove a godsend for anyone struggling to get to grips with Windows 8 or Surface. Each of the

Answer: It Depends   Antivirus software has historically been known to take up a lot of system resources which translates to less resources available to play your games.  However, that's not always the case.  Webroot SecureAnywhere takes up less than 800kb of space on your hard drive*, and it uses only about 5MB of RAM on average.  The impact to gaming is non-existent.  Compare this to the hundred of megabytes of storage space and the sometimes couple-of-hundred megs of RAM usage for bulkier antivirus program

I have been having trouble with the Webroot Forum loading on my XP computer using IE-8. This has been happening for awhile and it seems the more posts in a thread the longer it takes to load. This happens on both XP machines. I have done all I could, clean cookies / IE / defrag etc. and it's still doing it. I have no problems with FF on the forum. This only happens on the Webroot Forum. Other forums load normal with IE-8.

Hi, could someone please explain to me the difference(s) (if any) between WSA and WSS? There only seems to be a comparison of the various home user  versions on the site, and try as I might, I can't find anything like this elsewhere on the forum. Thanks a lot

"Privacy concerns surrounding Google Glass are growing rampant. Eight Congressmen even joined in on the conversation on Thursday, fearing that the cyborg-like technology could be too invasive.Google's response: You'll know when someone wearing Glass is being sketchy. In one of the most provocative moments of this week's Google I/O developers conference, Glass engineers fielded audience questions regarding privacy concerns. Google was clearly prepared to discuss the topic."   Full Article   While I am glad that Google is addressing concerns, I am not convinced:   ""If I want to record a video with Glass, I have to be staring at you," said Mendis. "And if you're human, you'll notice me staring at you.""   Really?  My head turned in you
