The DNS Protection agent runs as a service on each installed system and is designed to intercept and manage DNS requests. Prior to this release, in order to install the DNS Protection agent, it was required to first install Webroot Endpoint Protection, and then to configure it to install the DNS Protection agent. With the 4.0 release, once the MSI is provided in the Webroot Management Console, customers will be able to install directly on the systems of their choice. This is a profound change as it opens up sales to any customer regardless of their chosen security stack.

Other than standard stuff like heuristic builds there wasn’t anything substantial that’s worth a callout


Thank you Tyler

@TylerM  awesome updates as always, and thank you. 


Thank you for the above, can’t wait to see what else is up your sleeves for the management console.


Thanks for the update.


Thank You Tyler


Just loving the sound of ‘Zombie Mode’.

Whoever named that is a genius 👍🏻

I agree, Russell. Of all the updates this one made the biggest impression on me for some reason. It was definitely an ingenious idea! It makes sense on so many levels.


thanks for the update

love the fact that the dns is now a stand-alone app


As always, concise and well thought out presentation.  


Nice stack!  some nice new features.


As others have stated, I’m really glad to see the DNS product as a standalone product. Gives us more flexibility as we think of shuffling our security stack.


Great interesting update. 


I've been out of the loop for a while so apologies I've obviously missed the splitting off of DNS protection, what were the main reasons for doing so? I can see advantages and disadvantages but I would have thought having to have webroot EP would be a baseline that is advantageous, i.e. get them using both products, more money etc?


Nice to see a standalone DNS-P, like the above though, it would be good to find out the reasons for splitting the installers.
