we are just now moving away from webroot at work, we used to use their service for email and web filtering as well as a few other things however, it became too unreliable so we are moving to Sophos for all of our services.

Hi Redbull,

This is Greg from Webroot Support and I wanted to find out about your past experience with Webroot to see if I can help you out. I apologize that you did not have a good experience in the past and I am sure that you are aware that Webroot SecureAnywhere is radically different than any legacy Webroot product, as well as other antivirus products on the market.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Greg

Yea but my experience with webroot wasn't good.

Greg,

Ok I installed Webroot on my phone. See spec in sig. It was alright at first but then it slowed down my phone to eventually it was a pain to use. I uninstalled it. I thought ok let me try a second time. Same thing. I've not used it since. Tried one other antivirus that seemed to do the same thing. Sorry not something I can recommend or bother with. If you've fixed the obvious memory leak, shrunk it's foot print I'd consider trying again. That's it in a nut shell.

See for me, I HATE the bloatware that comes installed on these Android phones. They already eat up resources as it is. Disabling the installed apps is a pain. It's not permanent. Rooting is the only choice in this regard. Then comes along an Antivirus that just flies in the face of performance and optimization. So unless you're going to assure me that Webroot has improved I'm not interested. My phone does alright. It's not the fastest on the market, but it's not the worst. It's become kinda dated, but does me just fine.

Balls in your court Greg.

RedBull,

Thanks for writing me back. First, what version did you have installed when these problems occurred ? SecureAnywhere Mobile for Android is now updated to version 3.1.0.4547 and we continue to make improvements to its functionality and effectiveness. I am not sure what you mean by it being a "pain to use," as once you set it up it works automatically and you can either leave it at the default setting to automatically scan once a day, or you can configure a schedule so that it runs only when you are not using your phone.

It is optimized to not drain batteries and to not interfere with the overall usage of your device. However there are a few factors that can contribute to battery drain, such as the amount of files on your SD card, possible SD corruption, a lack of available system memory on your device or a possible threat. The easiest way for our Technical Support team to help you troubleshoot the issues you are having is for you to join the Webroot Community and post the issues you are having in the Webroot Mobile for Android section. I am certain that they will be able to help you pinpoint the problem and get you back up and running.

Thanks,

Greg

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.

      It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
