It used to work amazing, letting me know what website was safe to enter with a green checkmark, which ones to use caution with a yellow exclamation mark, and which ones not to visit at all with a red warning sign...now it seems to mark EVERY single page with a "caution" mark, no matter what page im trying to visit, so I no longer know which ones are actually safe to visit rendering this completely useless

Unusable. Replaces search results with some text like "trusted website, you're all safe bro". Also changes the icon for the website to the little green w logo for the extension. Makes it impossible to read your search results. I am glad its safe webroot but what is it? Pretty impossible to use as is.

Ever since I bought Webroot I have had nothing but trouble with it. I'm going to delete the program and go back to what I had before this. Too F+++ing complicated.

Every time I log on to Chrome, a pop=up tells me that :web threat shield has been added" and asks me if I want to allow it or remove it. I choose add it but it asks me every time! I don't know if I've added it or not!

Not sure what changed recently, but now all my link names in chrome are replaced with " Trustworthy, It's safe to go" in the title and it makes it difficult to tell what the site is. I've been a long-time Webroot customer and never had this much intrusiveness into my browsing habits. I've disabled the extension for now, as it's annoying as hell.

I had an expired version of webroot on my windows PC and thought I had updated my keycode by downloading the wsinstall file and double clicking, but I had NOT. The following link helped me update to my NEW keycode. https://answers.webroot.com/Webroot/ukp.aspx?pid=2&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&solutionid=1564 Then I checked the SECURITY summary for my webroot account and verified both my Desktop and Laptops were listed. Hope this helps others. I tried to post a s... Show more
