[QUOTE="Cortex, post: 823295, member: 54432"] I used it for a while a few years ago now I suppose, I never got infected: But in 26 years of using Windows I never have anything approaching serious so may be that was pure chance. What got me in the end was the need to upload unknowns to Webroot so they could whitelist them & I thought that was their job? Using programs other than the most poplar such as Pale Moon for example caused hugely enormous monitored files to appear in Program Data much larger than even the Norton many, many years ago could achieve. In the end these issues meant I simply could not recommend the program to those who just want to use a PC. The support staff on forum were a touch aggressive at times also, mainly if some hapless individual even hinted that WR had issues, so many were to scared to ever to log in again, or maybe to use the WWW for all time? :p I have nothing against Webroot but I have reasons why I don’t use it & never will again. Some feel differently & I respect that. [/QUOTE]
