Is it possible to scan flash drives?  I have a flash drive with a bunch of old stuff on it and when I clicked on one of the files to see if I wanted to keep it I got a notice from Webroot that it had detected a threat.  There is a bunch of other things on the drive that I need to check but am leary about doing that now.  Thanks.

Hello sk6247, and Welcome!
 
You can scan the flash drive by R-clicking on it as described here: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/How-do-I-get-Webroot-to-scan-a-flash-drive/m-p/199723#M15951
