And from: https://www.webroot.com/us/en/legal#sys-reqs I am concerned about this part: "and the risk of malware infection will increase." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to look at the system requirements first. Read my post! And we already talked about all that in the past.

I will send you a message with a link to the files I tested with Panda Dome in just a moment. @mina7601! I am not paid by Panda and not a member of their support team, either. I hope you are not serious about sending me links containing malware files. If you have a problem with Panda Dome, can't configure it properly or can't operate it, please contact the support of Panda! Anyway! Do not send me any links containing malware files! That's a no-go! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Astroskipper, just a friendly warning - be on your guard with that user ! I had to block him. Not only he (she?) likes to spam topics with meaningless and even offensive messages, his (her) behaviour is rather weird and suspicious. Some of such users also sent me dangerous links. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
