Title: WebRep on Facebook
Post by: XVSkulblaka7 on March 01, 2011, 04:30:36 PM
Webrep sometimes shows that 3 bar rating beside each of my friend's names on the news feed. Even the links that they posted contains it. Refreshing the page seems to work, but the problem is always coming back. Is this normal?

The problem being that these images/names are external links and that is what the web shield is trying to do show in the same it does in searches.

I don't know how they would get round that as facebook is a pretty big target for malware and excluding all facebook could well be a security issue, though it is rep only at present, but later it is likely to include virus detections from the avast community.

Yes I noticed that...Also A couple of my Zynga games wouldn't load at all...So I uninstalled the web rep...Now they're fine....I will go without the web rep for awhile until they fix some issues on it...than put it in later...It's new and could take awhile ....but it's easy to instal or uninstall...
