Webroot - Is there such thing as....

too much security?....   

The answer is "YES" - I would rather be without any anti-virus than be scared witless by everything, all the time, and being told that everything else is a virus, regardless. Because, let's face it, they can be infected at some point in the future, so we might as well just delete them now and get it over with.


 
Every other anti-virus in the world seems to think that those files are OK, but not Webroot security - I write Software for a living and I like compressing my software with UPX - Everything I compile is OK until compressing with UPX, and all of a sudden, it becomes a virus, and it gets quarantined or deleted - So one second the file is OK, the next it's a virus.

  1. Too many false positives - and today, a day after I un-installed webroot, I have webroot starting with windows, so I had to remove that one more time..
