Almost everyday when using the internet, the current page changes to flash player and webroot says malware w32.rogue.gen is identified and it removes it. How do I rid this malware from popping up once and for all?
 
Thanks

Hello ygoshy
 
Welcome to the Webroot Communiuty,
 
Your computer may be infected with virus by linking to malicious websites, downloading the freeware or opening spam email containing infected attachments. 
 
My best advise would be to Submit a Support Ticket and have them take a look. This is a free service with a Webroot subscription.
 
Hope this helps?

Sherry is right so Webroot SecureAnywhere is doing it's job and see here for more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_security_software
 
Thanks,
