Having issues filtering with Inventory

Okay, first let me start by saying I am pretty new to PDQ Deploy and Inventory.

I am trying to create a Dynamic Filter off of all my computers for computers that DO NOT have our Anti Virus (WebRoot).

First, I found a computer which has WebRoot installed to get the exact name of the application.

Then I created a dynamic filter

When I run this, or when it updates, it still brings in computers which have it installed.

I have also attempted to change the Comparison from DOES NOT EQUAL to a few of the others that would say does not...and I still get the same results.

Thanks for any advice you might have.

That's because your search finds computers that have the many applications installed that aren't named webroot SecurAnywhere

You should try a filter of "Not Any" Application Name contains Webroot SecurAnywhere.

That will list the ones that don't have it.

GrantG, your explanation helped me fix a collection issue I've been struggling to solve for a few days.

Using "not any" with the comparison contains vs. "any" with the comparison does not contain makes so much more sense.

Thanks!
