    If sys admin tools can't control it and it takes over the system you can't use it, what better Definition of a virus do you need? Please fix this

  • THREATrating from user Mike for file %PROGRAMFILES%\Webroot\Security\Current\plugins\antimalware\AEI.exe (Variant: 115339)

    Can't get rid of it, doesn't go away after uninstall, and doesn't do anything except take up loads of CPU Usage. Is it me, or does this sound a bit like a virus? Now, we all know it's not, but Webroot REALLY needs to check this ridiculously annoying process out.

  • THREATrating from user Commsys for file %PROGRAMFILES%\Webroot\Security\Current\plugins\antimalware\AEI.exe (Variant: 115339)

    This file may be from webroot but it is a pest and CPU hog. It runs everytime time machine is waked or started and causes everything else to lock up. Webroot's biggest boo-boo yet. Time to dump webroot until they get back to basics.
