I have been running Vatspy for years but now WebRoot will not even let me use it, it shuts it down, runs a scan and finds multiple viruses.

 

Any help would be appriciated.

 

Thanks,

Dave

Is Webroot that bad? It has served me well for years.

Hey David,

Not that it's bad (or good).  Like any AV or malware program, it only knows what it's told. Your options are to either "tell" it that you trust VAT-Spy by adding to an allowed list, or else disable WebRoot in order to run VS.  I don't know WebRoot specifically so can't advise how to do that.
