I uninstalled the offending apps and all is well now.  

I just ran Webroot and from the PC Security screen it says it is infected

The offending malicious files are Hidemouse.exe and Password.exe 

How do I clean it?

Hello ​@George Troutman 

 

The best thing is to contact Webroot Support via the Ticket System and they will help you as they have tools to look at files so that’s best!

I figured it out.  So I didn’t need to contact support.  Thanks for the advice.
