My computer takes 20+ minutes to start up. I had my son, who is a professional computer tech look at it. He says that WRSA.EXE is consuming 100% of CPU and Disk at startup for up to 20 minutes. He thinks I should just delete Webroot and get another antivirus. I'm willling to give it another chance ... any suggestions as to how to make this stop?
