[QUOTE="kC77, post: 982993, member: 92796"] Webroot.... an AV ive never tried before, grabbed the trial, left settings at defaults... when clicking update it prompts that there are no signatures to download, seems its entirely cloud based. really failed in a big way, there was many samples missed, i added a glasswire instance so it was obvious to see any samples/infections communicating with the web. (also flagged by my ids) Process explorer was soon killed and i couldnt restart it, the command prompt was killed so i wasnt sure if the samples batch was still running..... im guessing it was though! It didnt even make it 1000 samples ran before i restarted the machine (it was obviously infected already) Many items items added to startup, and in the end, something had managed to add itself an admin account called ADMIN_1 and then removed my account from being an administrator..... game over webroot! nothing really positive to say about webroot!
