[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 823865, post: 851560"] That is the main problem, couple this with the disdain of testers submitting reports of vulnerabilities and you know why it never performed as good as it could be. Also there is one thing we should consider about Webroot, they don't have a signature engine as solid as the older big names, they rely a lot of their cloud and analysis of uploaded threats, which is the main reason of existence of the "rollback" feature. Webroot would be stronger if they complement their homemade engine with a 3rd party one like some smartly do (Emsisoft, etc...) Exactly, that the kind of argument I dislike the most, usually those not used to do deep testing or quality control often use it. Can't blame them too much tough, they can't do more to evaluate a product. [USER=71262]@oldschool[/USER] yeah i know [USER=51565]@Nevi[/USER] isn't a bad guy, but I kinda get really annoyed when people get emotional towards a product and keep defending it with biased opinions despite solid evidence of failure/issues. When you really want to support and help improve a product, the criticism received are more important than the praise. I was a tester and a security vendors community manager, so I can tell this with a reliable experience. Everybody here knows I really like some products, the difference with fanboys, im the first one to blame my favorites when they fail at something, i don't try to defend those product when people find proven issues i can corroborate but I also refute invalid issues if the user doesn't have enough experience or knowledge about the product. It is just about being fair. [/QUOTE]
