[QUOTE="Azure, post: 983048, member: 29489"] It has been quite some time. So it’s possible the following information is no longer relevant with Webroot. The way Webroot tries to work isn’t the standard “get signature, detect malware” like other products. Webroot relies heavily on its rollback feature. It monitors unknown/potentially dangerous processes for a period of time, and once it determines the process is bad it rollbacks the changes the process has done. Processes it already knows is bad, it will simply remove like a standard antivirus.
