Webroot
-
I didn't really know much about Webroot before this discussion, but I have to say it sounds really cool. I especially like the cooperative nature of how it finds new threats. I definitely want to hear more from those of you that demo it.

@dominica what do you want to know? It's an antivirus when it's doing it's job and you're not surfing sites that have bad things on it it's no different than nearly any different.
I notice no additional load on my PC, but my phone - well that's another story. I put the mobile version on my Galaxy S4 and I'm noticing a considerable slowdown. I don't know if it's because the phone came with another AV on it already that I can't uninstall or disable.

@scottalanmiller I agree. Since Microsoft is still selling MSSE as the protection in their Intune product line they make sure it stays relevant or people might leave Intune.

Everyone don't panic.
I just installed Webroot on both my laptop and tablet.

@Dashrender Yeah, I'm not sure where that rumor got started in the other community but I got into a pretty heated battle with someone over that topic.

Welcome to the Webroot family Bill

@Nic Thanks, I will put it through it's paces. I find the CAPTCHA features interesting. One thing I noticed though are the complaints about the app on the Play store. Lots of 1 stars. Most of them seem very illegit but it did take a few minutes for me to get it to recognize my username and keycode.

Webroot comes with milk, cookies and snuggles.

On my laptop last night though, I installed Webroot, and got a BSOD.......(for real). A new laptop or at least an SSD can't come fast enough for me.
I did capture this screenshot though:

Hopefully the BSOD wasn't caused by us! Let me know if you want support to call you.

Whatever happened to that show? They should have been converted for YouTube. They were such a pain to watch via Flash.
-
They made a channel but they abandoned it...

There are a ton of new flash ones on the site since the last time I visited there (probably 3+ years ago).
