does webroot catch key logging and is  adware the same/similar to malware
 

Hello Tommy369, and Welcome to the Webroot Community.

 

Yes Webroot protects you against a multitude of malware, including keyloggers. And you have the benefit of its detection capabilities leveraging the WIN (Webroot Intelligence Network) http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php

 

And your question about Adware is an interesting one, and some types of aggressive Adware would sure qualify as Malware. There is some debate at present concerning PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications) a type of Adware. Webroot has a setting for detecting many, in Advanced Settings>Scan Settings.

 

And you might like to read about PUAs here: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Ideas-Exchange/Block-All-Bundled-Software/idi-p/156643
