So the context menu scanning issue reported here is now resolved. The Scan with Webroot option will no longer appear on the context menu for the recycle bin.
**Update - It has been observed that users affected by this issue will need to uninstall and reinstall in order for the change to go into effect. Windows XP users specifically also need to restart after reinstalling.
The "Agent Command overrides on protected applications" entry relates primarily to the business version of the product, but since it's the same core agent at heart, occasionally you'll see some overlap between the business release notes and the consumer version release notes. This would be one of those cases.
The "clone mode" stuff is exciting because WSA will now identify VM's uniquely even if they are cloned.
We have also started posting the release notes here on the main page. There should be an update for version 2.8 of the Android app later today as well. 😃
