I honestly like webroot it works fro me and has done a very good job fighting off viruses and malware. Im with Lavitiz its kinda unfair that I have to change my Security provider that I paid for to get a function to work on byond as simple as Copy and Paste

Im with Lavitiz its kinda unfair that I have to change my Security provider that I paid for to get a function to work on byond as simple as Copy and Paste It is unfair--because of Webroot. If they have a way to disable their copy/paste thing, then go for it. But we have absolutely no way of controlling what Webroot is doing, which is basically blocking normal system functions. Their program simply is taking things a step too far. | |

There's more info here.
Maybe you'll find something there that will help. If they're allowing/denying copy/paste on a case-by-case basis, a couple of things you should do: 1) Turn off this Identity Shield thing, which honestly sounds completely pointless. 2) In their list of applications, make sure that any BYOND programs are listed and that Webroot isn't using a hash to confirm their identity. (We've seen this with firewalls too.) If it is checking a hash, turn that off; it interferes with upgrades. | |
Option number 2 worked. The web security had byond blocked so I disabled the firewall for byond and it worked. Thanks so much.

Isn't webroot that shovelware antivirus that has a 60-80% virus detection rate and a way higher false alarm rate than any other free program?
Webroot had the worst results out of 20 products tested by AV-Comparatives in the September 2012 File Detection Test of Malicious Software, both in terms of malware detection rates and false alarms.[26] Webroot detected less than 80 percent of viral samples, much worse than the 94.4 percent rate of the second lowest detecting product. Among clean files, Webroot inappropriately flagged 210 of them, raising as many false-positives as the other 19 products tested combined. According to AV-comparatives, the "results and misses have been confirmed with several tests and also by the vendor. ...Yep. That's the one. If PCMag recommends it, I tend to steer clear. | |
Oh boy...

My problem with Webroot is that deeply misguided attempt to interfere with copy/paste. Simply put, no antivirus should be going to that kind of length, as that level of intrusion into the system is almost enough to make it malware itself.
Of course, I have similar feelings about AVG after AVG 8 started completely frelling up my Internet connection. They're dead to me. | |

Just spent the weekend purging AVG after I found more malware in my girlfriend's machine through manual inspection of the registry and appdata directory than AVG turned up false positives, much less actual malware. All free antivirus software these days is going to shovelware. | |
Avria is a bit pushy with their premium stuffs, but it can all be disabled, and the free protection has done pretty good by me. I've switched from plenty of free programs that decide to update into bloat/malware over the years.

I've always used Avast. Never done me wrong.
