How to tag other community membersTutorial

[h2][b]How to tag other community members[/b][/h2] When you tag another user the system will notify them that they were mentioned in a post so they will be sure to see it. To tag a user, you simply start with the @ symbol, then begin typing their username. The system will suggest matches, and you simply select the username of the person you would like to tag. As soon as you post your message, they will receive a notification that they were mentioned, and a link to the post.

Webroot oddity on startup

I’ve recently come back to Webroot after a few months away. Since installing Webroot, when starting up or restarting, I get a prompt from Windows asking if I want Webroot to make changes. I always click yes, and startup continues. It’s the same prompt one gets when installing or updating a new app. It never did this before. I don’t know if it’s a new protocol from Webroot or yet another oddity from Microsoft. I would like it to stop, but have no clue what to do. Any suggestion is appreciated.Ed LeRoy

Webroot Effectiveness

In seven years WebRoot has never scanned my computer then reported a threat found. Is the system catching threats prior to infecting my computer and not taking credit for blocking them…. seven years of zero threats makes me wonder what I’m paying for.
