Unless I instruct Webroot to scan my computer each night when retiring it persistently attacks my PC during the day with unwanted scans which completely freeze my old computer. Instructing it to stop the scan do not work. Unfortunately I often forget to request such a scan just before I sleep so my business is essentially wrecked the next day.
Support inform me that my PC security scans are 'centrally managed' and that they are beyond my control unless I re-programme the Webroot online management site. I have been unable to do this. Two requests to Webroot to restore sanity at their end have been ignored.
If Webroot cannot internally sort this problem what chance does a customer have?
If I had less than six months subscription unexpired I would remove Webroot but alas a year's sub. has only recently been paid for.
The purpose of this post? To hopefully ensure that Webrrot re-consider the way they have set up scans. Certainly I will not renew with them.

Not correct. I read both identical responses. I followed the instructions but Webroot failed to recognise the password which it had allocated to me. In any event such an insane system should be capable of being corrected by its inventor, particularly when you control everything at your end.

Absolutely correct. I did not see that third intelligence and cannot trace it anywhere within my e-m system.
I used the password supplied for the job, not my login password. It failed.
Thank goodness you did not supply my new chimbney. I would hate to have to get onto the roof to repair it.
For my part this conversation is over. Goodbye.

The password supplied to you was to access the support conversation. We would never send your password to you in a ticket such as that.
I would advise navigating to https://detail.webrootanywhere.com/servicewelcome.asp entering your email that you have used to contact support, and the password that was sent to you in the email (the same one you provided to our agent). This will allow you to see the latest response and then continue to work with them if you require further assistance.
