If you are referring to Webroot Desktop Firewall, that software is no longer supported as it was discontinued years ago. The "No Longer Supported" factor means that it is not updated to keep up with new Windows systems and patches, so will slowly stop working and become worse and worse as it gets older. If this is the software you are referring to, unfortunately the best solution is to uninstall it and use a current, updated firewall instead.

If you want to stay with Webroot, their firewall is included in their Internet Security packages. Otherwise there are numerous free and paid firewalls, all with different features, problems, good sides and bad sides. Examples include Comodo, Zone Alarm, and Sunbelt.

Spysweeper and internet explorer

Webroot is an Internet security company based out of Colorado.
The company, founded in 1997, offers Internet security programs for businesses and home users.
The Webroot Internet Security Essentials and Webroot Internet Security Complete programs include a firewall that's designed to monitor incoming data and filter out potentially unsafe data.
Consequently, Webroot does not recommend that you disable the firewall.
Nevertheless, if you want to use a different firewall or if the firewall is blocking legitimate data, disable it with a few clicks.

Launch the Webroot program.
Click "Edit Settings" under "PC Security" in the "Home" panel.
The PC Security panel opens.
Click the "Firewall" tab.
Check the circle next to "Allow All Traffic." The Webroot Firewall is now disabled.

I am getting error messages for the past few weeks from webroot firewall saying it must close. I have agreed to send the problem but no fixes. I renewed my webroot in February. Today I got a message...

Never used webroot so I'll take a guess way out in left field and say that you are using two antivirus's and they are conflicting. If so I would use only one and you would have better functionality. If that isn't the problem, get us corrected and we'll get you on the right track.

I keep receiving the message that Webroot Desktop firewall 5.8 has stopped working. It happens everytime I am on the computer.

The Webroot Desktop Firewall was discontinued several years ago and has not been updated to work on current operating systems or OS patches. Unfortunately, the best way to resolve this issue is to uninstall the Webroot Destop Firewall and replace it with any currently-supported firewall. If you want to stay with Webroot, their Internet Security packages include firewalls. Other firewalls are available at various prices or free, and as always, no firewall is perfect in operation or convenience, so find the one that you trust best and works best for your needs.

How do i know if webroot firewall is keeping me from using skype

Open the WebRoot "control panel".
Enable the "firewall-logging" at its highest level.
View and then clear the old "firewall-log".
Then, try to use Skype.
Again, view the current "firewall-log".
Any entries in the log indicate that the firewall has blocked something, namely the Skype TCP/IP traffic.

Most of the time when i am asked to give permission to a program or app of some sort and i answer it crashes soon after it doesn't happen all the time and it is getting worse slowly

Take my advice and uninstall Webroot and if you want to use a firewall then use a free one (ZoneAlarm etc). Many people have problems with Webroot
