Interview with a Webroot Threat Researcher - Marcus Moreno

This month we'll be talking to Marcus Moreno, who works in the Broomfield office with [url=https://community.webroot.com/t5/Introduce-yourself-to-the/Interview-with-a-Webroot-Threat-Researcher-Dan-Para/m-p/121270]Dan Para[/url] who we interviewed last month.   [b][img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/webroot-en/attachment/14043iFF8FC26A1CAA9962.jpg[/img]How’d you get involved in threat research?[/b]   When I first started working here as a front line engineer, I was hand-picked to do additional training on threat research. Particularly ENZO, which is our determination database. After learning most of the ins and outs of ENZO, I was offered a position as a threat researcher.    [b]What’s the most challenging piece of malware that you’ve run into?[/b]   I would have to say any type of file infector is the most challenging piece of malware that I run into - particularly Expiro. Expiro seems the be the hot commodity that everyone is getting

You know him as the prodigious poster from the Security Industry News forum, [url=https://community.webroot.com/member/profile?mid=9186]Jasper_The_Rasper[/url], aka Jeff - now learn more about him!  Jeff cheerfully agreed to answer my questions in this interview:   [b][img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/webroot-en/attachment/18505i0CE674793FBF49AB.jpg[/img]Tell us a bit about yourself[/b] I was brought up in the North East of England in the town of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shildon]Shildon[/url] which was the birthplace of the railways in 1825.  And for any Webrooters in Canada who know of the Victoria Bridge in Montreal there is a connection here as well.  Robert Stephenson, the designer, was the son of George Stephenson, the “Father of the Railways”. As you can probably guess, I am immensely proud of the heritage and history of the area. My family on my fathers side has worked for the railways back as far as 1827; even me for 1 month back

Hi Everyone, I am Abby and need some help! :)

My computer has been invaded..Taken over! When I try to save changes, such as not allowing 'non-administrators' permission to modify configuration options etc.. When I go to save, I get this WONDERFUL message stating "Although your settings will be saved locally, your PC is currently centrally managed by the Web Console and your settings may be overwritten on the next database communication." Hey! This is NOT me! And I do NOT know what to do here as I have tried so many things and am COMPLETELY LOST! Anyone out there willing to give Abby the 411 on this so I can be done with this nasty hacker??

install webroot toolbar mozilla firefox

Any ideas how to install the webroot toolbar in Mozilla Firefox?   The automatic login feature for password manager does not work for me.  I receive a message indicating the problem is the webroot toolbar has not been installed.  My primary browser is Mozilla Firefox 40.0.2 (which is current).  I have tried downloading and running, toolbarfix.exe.  This will install the Webroot Tool bar in IE 11 but not Mozilla Firefox.  Allegedly it should install in both browsers.    Thanks.

Webroot preventing from the typing of Vietnamese fonts

Hello everyone,   I use Webroot. However, it prevents me from typing Vietnamese fonts, which means that I can't type my Vietnamese with marks. I thought my Vietnamese input software had problems until I disabled Webroot and I can type my Vietnamese again.    Can anyone have any idea about this with solution. Thank you!

New to Webroot and the Forum Community

Hello All! I just purchased a 3-pc license for WSA Antivirus yesterday. I will be running it on a 64-bit Windows 8 laptop, a 64-bit Vista desktop, and a 32-bit Vista laptop. I have a question about what antivirus/internet security software runs the smoothest alongside WSA. I know that it can run just fine by itself, and I may do that eventually. But for peace of mind, I want to run it with something else for a while. I trialed it with Comodo Internet Security 6.0 a few weeks ago, but I received a BSOD every time I tried to open Comodo's Virtual Kiosk. Apparently, not compatible yet. I also run Malwarebytes Pro in realtime, and use Sandboxie. So what other programs do you all recommend from your experience that work well with WSA?

Greetings! :)

Hello, my name is Matthew and I am a student from South Shields in the UK. I am currently studying my second year of A-Levels at college, and I hope to be studying Computer Science and Ethical Hacking at university next year. I have tried out many security products out in the past, and I see myself as quite an advanced user. Unfortunately I do use Windows 8 on a daily basis (it's not that bad really ;) ). I love a good chat about the latest threats and security technologies as well. I hope that you will enjoy my presence in the Webroot community :).
