Hey there :)
 
If after having run a scan with WSA, and you think there is a chance that an infection remains on the computer, the best way to make sure that everything is clean may be to submit a Trouble Ticket.  There are a couple of reasons for this.
 
  • While on the Community we try our best to help others with the use of WSA, that does not extend to virus testing
 
  • Webroot provides the support services at no cost, including removing any infections on the computer.  By having Support take a look at it, if there are infections or remnants remaining, that will provide them more information on that specific infections allowing them to improve the detection and removal capabilities for everyone :)

Webroot DOES sometimes fail the EICAR tests, and that is simply because of how WSA works differently than other AV solutions.  Here are a few previous discussions here regarding the EICAR tests that explain the results we see :)

@ may also have more information on this as well 🙂

Perhaps the best way to explain it is that the EICAR tests were designed to trigger AV solutions, but without actually being dangerous.  That is why it can be missed by WSA: WSA's detection is by behavior.  When it detects a file attempting to do something it should not be, it blocks it and shows you a threat has been detected.
 
Since the EICAR files do not actually do anything, there is nothing to block.

Oh fails too in pup test

The old file from a previous recycle bin could be a couple of different things.  
 
When a new virus is released, it will not be detected by the 'MD5' of the file, it will be caught by the behavior.  
 
Once a virus has been identified, however, that MD5 is then known to the Webroot cloud.  This could be something that never did do anything malicious on your system, so was missed by behavior, but is not a known threat and is being caught by the Cloud due to the known MD5.
 
Also... it could be a new False Positive which does sometimes happen.  In the event it is a FT, Support will likely correct that in the Cloud.

To me all tests pass except Phishing test and again these are only tests and I find tests like these are useless but if you come across a real Phishing Website it will be blocked!

I have run the tests on this site several timesbefore, and just ran them again and we detect all of the test files as you can clearly see in these excerpts from my log file:

Also, if you check the Phishing test page http://www.amtso.org/feature-settings-check-phishing-page.html on our BrightCloud URL lookup page here: http://www.brightcloud.com/tools/url-ip-lookup.php you will see that it is being detected as a phishing page.
