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.

best practices and tips that can further enhance our security.

Hello Webroot Community,As Webroot users, we all know the importance of online security, especially in today's digital landscape. Webroot provides us with powerful tools to protect our devices and data, but there are also best practices and tips that can further enhance our security.I'm curious to hear from fellow Webroot users: What are your go-to strategies for maximizing your online security? Are there specific settings, features, or habits you rely on to keep your devices safe from threats? Do you have any recommendations for securing different types of devices or networks?For instance, I find that [mention your own security tip or practice, e.g., regularly updating my software, using strong and unique passwords with a password manager, or enabling two-factor authentication] has made a significant difference in my online security.Let's share our collective knowledge and experiences to help others make the most out of their Webroot protection. Your insights could be invaluable in cr

Microsoft Account

Microsoft locked my account. Said I violated their policies when I did a sync between my PC and my cloud account. I filled out the form to unlock it, got a number 2 months ago and that was the last I have heard from them. Can’t log in to my outlook.com account, calendar, nothing. What can I do? It is like no one in Security exists. No way to correspond with them, customer service says they can’t even reach out to the security team. I have literally 100s of files stored in the cloud. The only ones I can do anything with are the few that synced to my PC before they cut me off!

Webroot won't let go of hosts file!

I am trying to run Saints Row the Third on a PC with hardware that is way above manufacturer specifications, but performance is utter crap because the game keeps trying to connect to a server that no longer exists, and the only way to fix that is to edit the hosts file to point it at a different address that eliminates the problem. However, WRSVC has its grubby little paws on that damned file, and I can’t get it to let it the Hell go; the file is open, and I can’t close it. Webroot has no damned reason for preventing me from doing what needs to be done. The hosts file isn’t even used by any application but this game; I want to add a single line of functional code to what is basically a Remarks file that literally has no other use!The only way I can think of to edit this damned file is to install Linux, boot it up in that operating system, and make the necessary change there, but that’s absolutely ridiculous! There has got to be an easier way!

Deactivating old devices

I made the mistake of wiping my old computer clean without uninstalling software like Webroot. Back in the day you could login to your account and deactivate old computers when you buy a new computer. This doesn’t seem to be possible anymore. Can anyone tell me a way to do this? I’ve already followed the KBarticle link from 6 years ago in an old post and it’s no longer relevant.

False virus infection pop-up messages

I replaced Norton with Webroot. Now whenever I’m online in Microsoft I get false pop-ups that indicate that I -1 have active virus infections and must reinstall Norton ASAP. I’ve run many webroot re views and all are fine. I’m working on a 3-year old HP and in Windows 10. I’ve tired cookie deletes and pop-up blocks to no avail. How can I stop these annoying messages?

Renewal Rip Off

This is just a general rant. no need to respond. I'm 10 days from my 'Complete' package expiring and of course I'm being hounded to renew and save 10$ on renewal for $69. Why the hell would I accept such a stupid offer when I can buy it new from the website for $50 off for $29.99? The software seems to work well but everything I have read about Webroot suggests that their biggest problem is inconsistent rates and massively overpriced renewals. I'm ok with going to another company, even if they have supposed hidden backdoor access to my data.
