Hi ?
 
Welcome to the Community. In answer to your question, it DOES indeed! You might want to check and keep Windows Firewall activated also. Please write back if you have any other questions.  Glad to help.

Hi ClayDouglas
 
Welcome to the Community Forms.
 
Just to add to what Theresa has posted, if I may...WSA protects one against all of the following and more:
 
  • Viruses and Spyware
  • Anti-Ransomware
  • Phishing Attacks
  • Identity Theft
  • Social Network Threats
  • Unsafe Websites
and does so as follows (please see the diagram below for a pictorial representation of the way WSA works and intereacts with the Webroot Intelligence Network (WIN)):
 


 
Please post back if you have any specific questions.
