Webroot said I was infected, but scan found nothing

On windows, my Webroot tray icon recently showed an exclamation point, indicating I was infected. When I ran a scan, however, it came up empty. Similarly, when I tried to follow these instructions to save a threat log, the application told me the threat log was empty. The icon also no longer indicates there is any threat or infection.Is this something I need to worry about? Should I assume that my system is fine, or are there steps I should take?Thank you in advance.

What is going on with Webroot?

Every day it asks me to sign up for an account. I already have an account, but I can’t access it because the “forgot password” link does not work.. Also every day Windows asks me how I want to open this file, but it does not tell me what file, so I told it to use a text editor. It opened a file named program, which appeared to be an exe file. Windows complains about a file named program, which it says may keep some applications from working correctly. Clearly Webroot is AFU. Should I cancel my subscription and try a different product? I emailed support but got no response.

two accounts?

HI, this MAY be a redundant question, though it is not exactly what I have yet read here.A month ago webroot sent me reminders that my account was to expire.I renewed it alnd paid.A week later I got a reminder from BestBuy it was to renew with my TotalTech membership.I called, and though I resolved it, but got a notice it renewed through BB. May I assume I will only pay the one time? Or must I wait to see if it shows up on an imy credit card statement (which I will likely not do because I have a crappy memory)) Thanks, Jenni

Audit Failure

I was looking in the Event Viewer and I saw a twistee labeled Audit Failure. I didn’t remember seeing that one before, so I opened it up and it appears to be referencing a Webroot file.Code integrity determined that the image hash of a file is not valid. The file could be corrupt due to unauthorized modification or the invalid hash could indicate a potential disk device error.File Name: \Device\HarddiskVolume5\ProgramData\WRData\e30968e.dat So what does this mean? Is it a concern?I’m not sure what HardiskVolume5 is. I presume this the C drive. But the curious thing is I don’t find a file named e30968e.dat under the ProgramData\WRData folder.Thanks

Exclude Metasploit Framework

I have to use Metasploit for a class I am taking on Cybersecurity, is there a way to exclude Metasploit and its framework from webroot? I checked all the ALLOW options I could find, it still flags them as bad. It is SecureAnywhere CE 22.3. Appreciate suggestions to get these resolved.

Webroot Running?+Cannot Uninstall+Cannot Contact Tech Support

I am running Webroot Secure anywhere on several PCs several of which remain WIN7 machines. On one in particular I cannot access the Webroot interface or remove the program (or contact tech support) makes me think it’s time to look elsewhere for PC protection.First, I see no evidence the program is running at all except for a webr32 service (may have the name wrong as its from memory). Attempting to run the program conventionally from start menu yields nothing at all. I tried re-installing with the same result. Even more frustrating attempting to uninstall (as administrator) yields the message “ you must run as an administrator to uninstall” or words to that affect.Even MORE FRUSTRATING is trying to contact tech support, being required to login again, then getting the message that:We have already had contact with: ~ Snip Private information (email) ~ PTDPlease enter your password below if you wish to continue with your previous conversation.

scans disabled and last scan date changing

Hi! I'm having an issue with Webroot where it seems to be turning itself off and on automatically.And all scans seem to be frozen or disabled, where it'll just say "0 files scanned" and processes "not scanned". The time elapses fine and continues changing as expected (1 second, 49 seconds, etc.) but nothing else changes during scanning.Last scan time and duration, on the other hand, keeps changing. It alternates between "last scan 1 day, 22 hours ago" with 4m 34s and "last scan 2 hours ago" with 2m34s duration.It only changes when I try to start a new scan or every few minutes, but keeps alternating between those two specific timestamps. (There is a third variation that now says it was last scanned <5 minutes ago, but still has the 2m34s length and still reverts to the other two)The number of total scans also keeps changing, from 1 to 3. No longer shows the 200+ scans.Next scan part of the menu alters between "Not scheduled" to "20 hours". I've also seen the phishing shield turn its

Backup issue - lack of documentation explaining how it works.

What happens when i got a BACKUP folder of my whole d: drive and a file is being deleted on my local hard drive?I do not sync any files, only simple backup.If i delete file from original location, would online storage still contain it or not?Which way can i compare and delete files that are already deleted on local disk D: - is there any marker?If there is no marker i will just review local files and re-push 15GB every week, which is not nice for your transfer and my time. -Should i sync instead?If the backup is ‘incremental only with no markers or history’ it would be nice to know by the manual. Another thing i’ve noticed - .reg files are excluded due to ‘System and hidden file’ rule. Many people store registry exports in such files as documents… Maybe .reg is not that much ‘system file’?TIA

How to solve Handle-leak explorer.exe and other

Hi all,The system analyse from Webroot Secure Anywhere reports f.e. a handle-leak(explorer.exe) with a system analyse from tools.Sometimes it occurs only while running a program. Running Microsoft Edge and Facebook together and closing these a scan also results in this message. After restarting the computer this is solved. How to improve my system? In my opinion these messages must be taking serious. Kind regards, Jan Florijn

Back-up folders

Previous answer to the same question is 5 years old. It says to click on the “gear” icon to open and add a folder. I have no gear icon on my screen. Please provide new instructions so I can back-up entire folders, not just individual files. Thanks.

Adding a Keycode into a ConsoleKnowledge Base

This content has been reviewed and updated on February 18th, 2020. Question I purchased a new copy of Webroot instead of renewing my old one. When I installed it on my computers, the web console does not reflect the reinstallations. How do I get the online console to reflect that I am using a new keycode and that the computers are protected? Answer Log into your Account Console. Select the Keycodes tab. Click Add Product Keycode. Enter the new keycode in the Product Keycode field, and click Add. Once the new keycode exists in the console, the console will understand that it should start displaying that subscription data. Note: Currently, if you use the Password Management feature, support will need to assist you in this process to retain functionality beyond the expiration date of the original keycode. Please contact support for assistance in associating your account to the proper keycode.

The WSA "Clean Up Now" Function

This is one of my favorite functions of WSA. It is so fast (less than two minutes) that I run it multiple times every day, with no interference. One of its features is disk cleanup, which is similar to Microsoft Windows disk cleanup, but this works faster. I wish this function had a disk defrag feature as well (I know I keep harping on this, but I really think it would be worthwhile and really wouldn't constitute bloatware). ;)
