I am new to Webroot.  I used to be on the PC Tools Internet Security software, so Webroot seems rather simple compared to that.  I run a proprietary software program that I frequently cut and paste words from other programs into the proprietary program.  However, Webroot does not allow me to paste into my proprietary program. 
 
I'm wondering if someone can tell me how to tell Webroot that my proprietary program is "okay."  Tech support for my proprietary program suggested I add the program to an "exceptions" list in Webroot, but I cannot find such a list. 
Thanks,

Hello naolav, and welcome! :D
 
Please make sure your software is set to "allow" in Application Protection settings, and also in System Control its process is allowed to run unimpeded.

Hello naolav and welcome to the Webroot Community!
 
I am not positive, but I believe you might be able to do this as follows:
 
Open WSA
Click the 'gear tool' next to Identity Protection
Click the Application Protection tab
 
Check to see if the proprietary application is listed here.
 
If it is, and it is set to Block, then try chaning it to Allow.
 
If it is not, try adding it using the Add Application button.  You probably will need to set it to Allow.
 
See if this works and let us know :)

If that does work, try to set it for Protect.  Leaving it to Allow will be too wide open and a security risk.

I am sorry, I am tired, so a little unclear... do you mean that worked?  Again, also try it in Protected to help maintian operation of the software but protection at the same time.
