The Identity Shield secures your browsing sessions against Trojans, phishing attacks, and identity theft. It ensures that your personal information – such as usernames, passwords, security codes, account numbers, and credit card numbers – stays protected as you bank, shop, and interact online.
To access more options and settings, click the gear icon next to Identity Protection.
By default, the Identity Shield is always on and automatically protects HTTPS sites and social networks. When the Identity Shield is actively protecting your browsing session, you notice a lock on your Webroot system tray icon.
Click Application Protection, then click Add Application to customize.
The Phishing Shield identifies and blocks fake websites that trick you into entering your personal information. As you browse, URLs are evaluated in real time for phishing risk. Analysis includes looking at page content, domain reputation and numerous other factors.
The Phishing Shield is on by default. We recommend you leave it on for maximum protection.
The Realtime Shield blocks threats that are listed in the Webroot® Intelligence Network and in our community database. If the shield identifies a known threat, it immediately blocks and quarantines the item before it causes damage to your computer or steals your information. If it detects a suspicious file, SecureAnywhere opens an alert and prompts you to block or allow the item.
By default, the Realtime Shield will be on and pre-configured with the recommended settings.
To adjust settings, click Advanced Settings in the upper right corner of the home screen, then click Shields. Detailed shield definitions can be found in the User Guide.
As you browse, the Web Shield alerts you to websites that may pose a threat. Likewise, when you use a search engine, the Web Shield analyzes the search results and displays an image next to each link, letting you know whether it's a trusted site or a potential risk.
From the main screen, you can access the Web Shield under PC Security.
The Firewall monitors data traffic traveling out of your computer. It looks for untrusted processes that try to connect to the Internet and steal your personal information. By working along with the Windows firewall, which monitors data traffic coming into your computer, your network has both inbound and outbound protection.
By default, the Firewall will be on and pre-configured with the recommended settings.
To adjust settings, click Advanced Settings in the upper right corner of the home screen, then click Firewall.
Once items are moved to the Quarantine, they are disabled and cannot harm your computer. However, you may want to delete or restore quarantined items in some circumstances:
To view the quarantine, click the gear icon next to PC Security, then click Quarantine.
If you have files in the Quarantine, you can select a file and click either Delete Permanently or Restore.
