This information has been verified as accurate on March 23rd, 2020, by APruneau. There are many symptoms that may happen within your internet browser that could possibly point to an infection. The browser slows or freezes suddenly. You are redirected to sites you did not chose to go to. The home page changes. The browser reports an error. These do not always mean an infection. These could be caused by add-ons on your computer. To rule out add-ons as the cause, follow the instructions for your browser to disable ones you are not using. Internet Explorer Open Internet Explorer. Click Tools (or the gear icon), then Manage Add-ons. In the list of add-ons that appear, select the ones you do not use, and click Disable. Mozilla Firefox: Open Firefox. Click Tools, then Add-Ons. Turn off the extensions you do not use by clicking the toggle. When the toggle is grey the extension is disabled. Google Chrome: Open Chrome. Click the menu button in the upper right (the t
When you open Internet Explorer or another browser, you may get a page loading that says "About:blank" in the address bar. This is not a virus. This is a filler page for when there is no home page set in the browser. To set your home page in Internet Explorer, click on [b]Tools[/b] > [b]Internet Options[/b]. Under Home page, click [b]Use Default[/b] or enter your desired homepage, e.g. [url=http://www.google.com]www.google.com[/url]. Click [b]OK[/b] to save your changes. For Mozilla Firefox, navigate to [b]Tools[/b] > [b]Options[/b] > [b]General[/b]. Under Home page, click [b]Restore to Default[/b] or enter your desired homepage, e.g. [url=http://www.google.com]www.google.com[/url]. For Google Chrome, click the Menu button in the upper right and click on [b]Settings[/b]. Under "On Startup," choose the option you would prefer. If you want a specific page to open, click [b]Set pages[/b]. Cha
[b]PUA[/b]s (or [b]P[/b]otentially [b]U[/b]nwanted [b]A[/b]pplications) are programs that, while not especially malicious, generally diminish the user experience by consuming valuable computer resources, tracking users, displaying advertisements, or allowing the installation of additional third party software. The [i]PUA[/i] category provides users with increased insight and control over their computers by detecting applications that are not categorized as malware, but that users may not want installed on their computer or network. If you feel you have a PUA on your system that Webroot is not detecting, [url=https://detail.webrootanywhere.com/servicewelcome.asp]click here[/url] to open a support ticket.
A run.dll error occurs when a program tries to reference or call a .dll that is missing or corrupt. If you have had an infection removed from your computer recently, this could be the cause of the error message. If the message only shows up when you start your computer, which is common for these errors, you can simply close the message. It is not harmful to the computer. However, if you would like to stop this message from popping up, you can do so in [b]msconfig[/b] under the [i]Startup[/i] tab. We recommend only going into msconfig if you are an advanced user. If you are not an advanced user, you can contact a local technician or [url=http://support.microsoft.com/]Microsoft Support[/url] for assistance. If there are other symptoms on your computer besides the error popping up, [url=https://answers.webroot.com/Webroot/ukp.aspx?pid=12&kptester=1&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&solutionid=1580#supportticket]open a support ticke
Hey Webroot- I just moved to Webroot AV a few days ago. It's loaded on a Windows 7 desktop computer with a hard-wired modem (no router, no wi-fi), I'm the only one that has access to the computer, and everything was fine with the initial install. This morning I went to look at the Program files in C: drive (WRSA.exe), but could not open the files. I made sure any of the 'protect against process termination' or 'protect against process tampering' etc. options were unchecked in the Webroot dashboard. I went back to WRSA.exe and tried 'run as Administrator', went to Properties ---> Security ---> and made sure 'Full control' access was enabled, but nothing worked. At that point I uninstalled Webroot from the computer and reinstalled it. This time I unchecked the self-defense box (can't remember the exact wording) that's located under 'Installation Options' when loading the software. I cleared cookies and cache, then shut down the computer for a&n
Of the 5 Surface 1807's (Surface Pro Advanced with LTE or something like that) we have deployed in the field, the 3 that have been upgraded to Windows 10 1803 are crashing every few days with a BSOD indicating a storage problem or that a critical process crashed. In some cases the device is idle when it crashes, in other cases the users have reported a freeze for a few seconds before the crash. No memory dump file is written (crash never progresses past 0% writing dump file). We are seeing the same thing with the previous model Surface (1796 or something like that) The affected surfaces are using Samsung NVD SSD's and so are not affected by the (now patched anyway) issue that affected Toshiba and Intel SSD's. There is nothing to indicate that the crash is related to WebRoot, but it is the only non-MS software we have installed on these devices that runs at a low enough level to cause this sort of crash, and definitely the only thing that inserts itself into the

This article has been verified as accurate on April 28th, 2020, by Apruneau. Webroot SecureAnywhere is made to be compatible with most software on your computer, but there can be times when a conflict occurs. However, this is very rare. Other software may report that there could be an issue with your Antivirus or Firewall, when this may not be the case. If you believe that Webroot is impeding the function of a third-party application or your system itself, it is not functioning as designed. Please complete the following steps to confirm this is the case and, if so, let us know so that we can research the conflict. Part 1: Shut Down the Software To determine if SecureAnywhere is causing the issue you are experiencing, try shutting down the software, and then check whether the issue persists. Note: Webroot SecureAnywhere is designed to provide continuous protection. This step should be done with caution, as shutting down SecureAnywhere means the program is no longer providing activ
