Octavio,
I used Webroot products for many years and at the time they were very
good applications. However, sad to say, Webroot has been going downhill for
several years now.
I have found that their products are not compatible with Windows Vista,
regardless of what Webroot states. They cause too many problems in too many
areas.
Webroot's support departments are terrible, almost non-existant. Plan
on taking a two or three week vacation after you email them with a problem.
It's possible they may answer your questions before you return from vacation,
but I doubt it.
My personal advice, based upon my own experience with their products,
is to stay far away from any of their products.
Have a nice day.
C.B.
