Hi MaXimus

C:Program FilesWebrootWRSA.exe
or C:Program Files (x86)WebrootWRSA.exe
- This loads both as a system service and as a user service. That's why you typically see two of them if you open task manager. This is also your user interface.

" However, the driver is 64bit.  So the 32bit processes communicate with the 64bit driver, and the level of protection is equivalent to running the 64bit process natively.  The word from development regarding not building a 64bit process is that there would be no benefit in doing it since the level of protection would be unchanged."
