Hello,
Thank you for contacting Webroot Support.
Webroot has received reports of symptoms similar to those that you have reported. We have updated our software version to address these reports and we ask that you follow the steps below to update Webroot.
1. Right-click the Webroot system tray icon. This is typically located next to the clock display.
2. In the context menu that appears, click "Shut down protection".
3. If asked to confirm whether you want to shut down Webroot, click "yes". If prompted, complete the CAPTCHA window and click Enter.
4. To install the update, click the link below to download the latest installer.

7. Try to reproduce the issue you are experiencing.
If you do not see the option to shut down Webroot in the system tray, open your Webroot program and navigate to Advanced Settings > Install Settings. Ensure that the box labeled "Allow Webroot to be shut down manually" is checked. If it is not checked, check it and click Save All. Then click Close. After enabling this option, repeat steps 1-2 above.
Please reboot and restart your computer in order for the installation to be completed.

Hey Anthony,
Welcome to the Webroot community! Since most of the Webroot team is on vacation today through Friday, you may see a delayed response. If you don’t hear anything by early next week, please let us know and I’ll reach out to our support team personally. Thanks!

+3OK now its been six days with a ticket in and nothing. Guess I will uninstall and put Nortons back on. No tech support here. Wow all I can see is wow.
Hey there
I’ll reach out to the support team now and make sure they get back to you soon.
*Edit* Hey Anthony,
Looks like our support team sent a reply to you on november 28th asking for your subscription information because they couldn’t locate you as a customer. If you log back in to that support ticket, they can send you diagnostic logs and start looking into the problem.
