I had inadvertently hijacked another thread in this forum with my issue, but decided to make my own. First I wanted to say I like this community and people really seem to care about issues around here, unlike what I've heard from other antivirus/security providers...
My issue is with Webroot's lag when I install programs or games. I have a pretty healthy Steam catalogue and I tend to install a lot of games. I've noticed when installing program or game for the first time there will sometimes be a lag after clicking on the installer .exe. In the bottom right corner of the screen a Webroot popup will flash with "activity monitor" and a path. It can happen several times during the install. The kicker is that sometimes I don't know if the installer finished or not. It just vanishes. I'm on WIN 8 x64 (legit, not pirate) and am running no other security products, just Webroot Secure Anywhere Complete. It tends to stop happening on subsequent openings of the game or program, until I get a patch or upgrade, then the Activity monitor pops up again.
As a gamer, I'm neurotic about actual or perceived slowdowns on my system. What should I do? Submit logs or open a ticket or is this just the price of doing business with the way Webroot protects your computer?
Thanks!
