            ROFL @Nic! I love that you had to clarify I don't work for you guys (yet?). When I find a company who is respectable, with good people, and a solid product, I'm behind them 110%!

              The Skyrim/My little pony question was disturbing.

                  Not necessarily... they did contribute to the discussion in a semi-legitimate way.

                    Yeah, that's why I was confused by the post. It was trollish, but did have a legit question in it...maybe just someone younger?

                      The skyrim question was from the brother of the guy who answered - he was posting for a joke. Johnny got him back in the reply though 🙂

                        Ok, I thought the comment about his mom seemed a bit odd for a Webroot employee to say...now it makes sense.

                          Oh man... I didn't read that far into the response... that was good on the dev's part.

                            Also @Nic does the gaming version of Webroot work that much differently then the consumer version?

                                  It doesn't seem to be over. Questions are still coming and and getting answered...

                                    We'll keep an eye on it for more questions. The gaming version is similar to the base AV consumer version, but with the addition of the System Optimizer function, plus the settings are tweaked for gaming a bit.

                                      The thread is finally almost dead.

                                        Yeah, seems like the questions have trickled off. We're pretty happy with the response though.

                                          Symantec had a higher volume of posts on theirs but a large number were very critical and negative. Didn't see that on Webroot's. Yours was fun and entertaining, but still very valuable!

                                            Yeah we enjoyed the response - certainly better than the previous one which was 7 months after a big layoff and got a lot of disgruntled ex-employees trolling it 🙂 Thanks for all your help AJ!
