Can webroot cause -- or allow -- an unwanted ocx8 file to be created in syswow64?

Occasionally an ocx8 file is created in syswow64 folder. When that happens a database program I use loses some functionality. I have to rename the unwanted ocx8 file and re-register the correct ocx8 file with the program that uses it. Support at the program I use says webroot may be causing this issue -- it only happens occasionally. Can webroot create files or somehow cause files to be created that I don’t need that mess up my database program’s functionality? I’ve used webroot for several years and this problem started a couple of years ago--only happens occasionally, however. I’m not really conversant in the inner workings of my computer--just need the programs to run without too much hassle. Thanks for any input.

*Secure Erase feature not working and/or erasing large files too quickly?

Hi everyone, I am trialing the most recent version of Webroot I S Complete and had a question about the Secure Erase feature. I noticed when I put it on 3 or even 7 (max # of overwrite) Webroot seems almost waaay too quick to shred the file. I noticed this especially on say files around 1gb in size (even video) If talking specifically about the max overwrite of 7 passes, is this normal for it to be so quick?? I’ve had a few other file shredders that I sometimes use too, and if I chose either 3 to 7 wipes they take significantly longer (maybe minute or two) Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if I need to put a support ticket in? Btw, here is a link that someone else brought this up longer ago for more details: Thanks all of you for being great help and take care today! Jeff 🙂

WSA is almost always orange, even when nothing found.

I know I have discussed this before, but I am still seeing this behavior, I still think it is a bug, but it makes the tool annoying because IMO it is always crying wolf. A scan just completed and it was “green.” Another scan started almost immediately, and everything orange immediately to start (as seen below.) Even after a green scan just finished, the color of Webroot app was, and is still, and is almost always orange. This makes no sense to me. What actually is going on here and what is the app actually trying to indicate here going orange after a green scan? The results tab was also empty FYI.Then, after the scan shown below detected no threats, everything went back to green, until the next scan started, and then orange again. But it does not always do this, just most of the time.So why is it orange immediately after a green scan? That makes no sense, and causes me to “run and check it” when I really do not have to. But how would I know if it is a false orange or a real threat?

Carbonite Intrusion

My Webroot has been unobtrusive until recently. Now, every morning, I get a pop-up telling me I need a Carbonite account. My attempts to comply have been frustrated (and frustrating). When I try to log in, it doesn’t like my credentials. It says it will send me a code but never does.Why is this happening and what can I do to get rid of it?

On Every Boot UAC Wants Approval for Webroot, 2020/May

"Do you want to allow the following program to make changes on your computer? I am getting the UAC prompt each time I start/boot up my desktop PC. This occurs after the 5/13/2020 Windows 10 automatic update, which was KB4556799. Before that Win 10 update, there was no UAC prompt upon PC start up. Something has changed. Please advise how to make it authorized at PC boot up, and are other people encountering this issue since that Win 10 patch?

Webroot services persist after uninstall

After uninstalling WSA, the core and sky services persist, causing problems with other software. Because they are placed as system files, they resist normal and reasonable means to remove them. They also resist removal by people with some technical skill. And other AV programs. And Webroot’s own cleanup executables. I would think that software that cannot be uninstalled by the computer owner with reasonable effort would qualify as malicious. Of course, sending in a support ticket has gotten zero response. I approach an hour waiting for someone to pick up the phone.

Distribution to users without company email

Hi,I have many part-time employees that do not have a company AD account and email address as their job functions do not require it. What is the best way to get them into a Campaign since public emails are not supported? I’m not going to create 100+ email accounts (and train those employees on how to use/access company email) simply for training modules.Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Why is Webroot punishing casual crypto mining?

Support refuses to deal with the issue.Webroot ignores the whitelist for NiceHash QuickMiner and it constantly kills the process and prevents installation even though it’s thoroughly whitelisted.What’s the point of a whitelist that gets ignored because they want to punish casual crypto mining?
