Webroot no longer blocking text and MMS messages from numbers on block list since last update

I have an unrooted Motorola Droid phone with Android 2.2.3 on it. I have had Webroot Security & Antivirus installed on it for approx 6 months. I was using the call & SMS blocking feature and had multiple numbers entered to be blocked. The app had been blocking text and MMS messages from these numbers until the last update. After the last update the app no longer blocked text and MMS messages from the selected numbers. I am not sure if it was blocking phone calls or not since then since I have not received any phone calls from the numbers. I have tried reentering the numbers and reinstalling the app without any success. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to get this feature working again as this was one of the main reason I installed this product to start with?

(Bug) "Scan with webroot" on right click menu stops working at random times!

Hello, I think I have come across another "bug" concerning the "Scan with webroot" on right click menu. I don't know what causes it but at random times on all my computers running Webroot Secure Anywhere Essentials 2012 Version 8.0.1.184 the "Scan with webroot" on right menu stops working. What happens is I right click on a file or folder and and click on "Scan with webroot" and then nothing happens. I get no pop up box from Secure Anywhere showing its scanning. And when this bug happens the only way I seem to be able to get "Scan with webroot" working again I have to shut down Secure Anywhere Essentials and restart it. Once I do that "Scan with webroot" works like normal again until the random bug happens again. But like I said I have no idea what makeit happen in the first place. But there must be a bug somewhere in the software that neess to be fixed. Anyone else here every have this happen? Thanks

Chrome being monitored

Last night I noticed that Chrome had moved from its usual 'Allow' under System Tools > System Control > Control Active Processes to 'Monitor'. With this has come a spike in system resources, I'm guessing because of the journaling in the background. Is it common for a program to move from 'Allow' to 'Monitor'? If so, what could cause this?

How to use the SecureAnywher Complete 2012 in three different PCS ?

Hello, I am new here. Currently trying on an old pc the trial version of SecureAnywhere Complete 2012 and I am loving it ! Just had a question, so when my new laptop arrives in a few days and I purchase the SecureAnywhere Complete 2012, which shows a license for 3 PCS, how will I get it on the other 2 different pcs ? The way I think it is suppose to be done and please correct me if I am wrong. I purchase and install from Webroot official page, the product I want. Then I get the keycode and enter it on my laptop, where I will buy the product.Later, keep the keycode for the other 2 PCS. Finally, from each of the other 2 pcs, I go to Webroot official web site ([url=http://www.webroot.com/En_US/index.html]http://www.webroot.com/En_US/index.html[/url]), then click on the top, Support/SecureAnywhere Support/upper right side hit on Reinstall my product, do the Request Software and Keycode, select my product, fill in last name and my e-mail (the one I used to buy it on original pc) and then

unable to log in to webroot complete android app on Droid X

Using a Droid X on Android 2.3.3, running no other AVs I'm getting the error that "Login failed. the email or password is incorrect" I have the right email address in (not the default[b]@gmail[/b]) and i've typed the password with the swype keyboard, the default keyboard, and copy/paste from a notepad app. I have submitted a ticket for this, but I thought I'd check with the forums to see if there was a quicker way to get this up and running.

Setting .exe to "Allow" - what is the difference in various WSA tab settings

When an .exe is "Allowed", what is the difference in the .exe file being in the various tabs in WSA which you can set to "Allow" in: 1. PC Security... Quarantine... Detection Configuration 2. Identity & Privacy... Protected Applications 3. System Tools... System Control... Control Active Processes If I have a program that I know is currently good, but the executable can be updated in the future with new versions, and the program can check daily for data updates, where should the "allow" setting be set? For example, I use security programs such as MS Security Essentials, SuperAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes... file editing programs Programs from PortableApps.com

Protected Applications - settings

As I am a new subscriber, I'd welcome some advice on the best settings to use for Protected Applications in the Identity and Privacy Area. I have 3 web browsers and all are set at "Protect" which I think is generally advised. The fourth application shown is Media Go which is rather like a Sony version of iTunes. You use it to download movies, music and games and it's also a library. Anyway, I found that this application had been set at "Deny". I don't think that that is correct. Should I change the setting to "Allow" or to "Protect." What are the relative risks? Incidentally I didn't put the Deny setting myself. It doesn't make sense to totally block a media store and library, does it? Thanks Martin

Webroot client connection error

hi guys, Has anyone ever come across webroot client issues where by webroot clients loaded onto individual pc's on the network drop off and have a connection error pop-up message? Where i work (some back ground info) we have scheduled WOL scripts that run through Visual Cron that control sweeps when the PC's wake up and Webroot is scheduled to run its sweeps. We have in the past always had this issue. i have tested and confirmed that all PC's actually run when running WOL tests however we still face connection error issues. Is there a default time as to why/when and how do the Webroot clients loaded onto PC's on the network suddenly drop off.

Webroot Login Errors

Everytime I try to login to the "My Webroot" account, I always get the same message when I login: Logout You are now logged off [url=https://my.webrootanywhere.com/default.asp]Return to Home[/url] This is really irritating. I can't login to my Webroot Backup & Sync either and I can't get my mobile apps to log me in either even though I have Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete 2012.

How to Cause the Device to ScreamKnowledge Base

[h2]Question[/h2]I read that when you need to use the Scream feature to find your phone in the house you need to send your phone an SMS.  How do you send your phone an SMS if it's lost and you cant make an SMS? [h2]Answer[/h2]There are a couple of ways to cause the phone to scream.   The first method is to log in to your [url=https://my.webrootanywhere.com/default.asp]online account[/url], select "Mobile Security," click on your phone, and select the "[url=https://mobile.webroot.com/brands/webroot/en/help/lost_device_protection.htm]Lost Device Protection[/url]" tab.  You will then see a button you can select to send the SCREAM command as well as the other options available to you.   Another way to do this is via your cellular provider's website or another smartphone.  Most cellular providers allow you to send SMS messages from your account page.  To do it via SMS, text your number with "scream password" (replacing password with your Webroot password).

How do I add an iOS device to the mobile security area of the online console?Knowledge Base

[h2]Question[/h2]I am unable to add my iPhone as a device. I have the apps on the phone and I can access them.  Why don't they show up in the console? [h2]Answer[/h2]Your iOS device will not show up under mobile security tab in your online account area. This is because that tab is reserved for the mobile anti-virus portion of the account, which currently only exists on Android devices.  The iOS apps are not anti-virus applications. For a breakdown of our backup utility, SecureSync, click [url=https://mobile.webroot.com/brands/webroot/en/help/ios/SecureSync/index.htm]here[/url].

Can't log in. Samsung Android phone. Mail/password error. Tried tips in forum.

I'm very happy with my webroot secureanywhere complete in my PC, which detected and removed threats that no other antivirus could. However, I can't log in in my Samsung Android smartphone. There's always a Mail/password error massage, though they are right. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app (WR complete version) with no results. Would you please help me? Thanks.

Old Webroot vs. WSA? A friendlier, brisker, safer take on internet security.

Here at Webroot, we see so many customers (and potential customers) ask “what’s the difference between Webroot SecureAnywhere and the older Webroot products?” The short answer is a winning combination of compatibility, unmatched speed, efficiency, and protection. The longer answer is this: [b]Internet Security Trendsetting[/b] Unlike sports, there is no such thing as the “seasoned veteran” when it comes technology, and terms like “classic” and “old school” typically mean your product is outdated and slow. In fact, the only way veterans survive in the tech world is if they have a quality product that is constantly being updated (if not reinvented) with the newest technology. One of the few exceptions has been the internet security industry as a whole. For far too long, internet security companies have been playing it safe, reluctantly avoiding to stay current with the ever-evolving technological trends. Needless to say, every internet security software company (including Webroot

PC Security console

I installed WSA on my wife's laptop but it is not visible on the PC Security console. I did have WSA installed on there a couple months ago, uninstalled it then asked the support team to have it removed from the console. Could this be why it's not showing up even though it's installed again? P.S. As a disclaimer, I have reported this to the support team via a ticket but I've not heard back since Saturday, so I thought I'd ask here too.
