H_D Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hi, folks I recommended that a friend use OA to complement the AV protection they have from Webroot. They contacted Webroot and asked about compatibility. Webroot replied and stated they may encounter problems using their software if OA is installed. Does anyone know if there is a compatibility issue here? I would have thought that intelligent configuration of each product would be sufficient. Thanks.

catprincess Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 There is no known issue that I'm aware of with OA and Webroot AV. That doesn't necessarily mean that someone may not have problems, but as far as I know they would be no more likely to with Webroot as with any other AV. Perhaps Webroot is just covering all possibilities by saying they may encounter problems; they may well give the same answer in relation to compatibility with other HIPS programs also.

sded Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Are you interested in the WebrootSecureAnywhere beta incorporating Prevx? There are some known and potential issues there with OA in the Webshields. Haven't heard of anything with Webroot AV and OA++. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
