I reloaded webroot near expiration. It found a trojan horse: worm-shiv and locked up

Hello streamsaver,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
Have you tried running Webroot in SafeMode with Networking to see if Webroot finds this trojan? You could try this and see if Webroot comes up with anything.
 
Can you run a deep scan in Safe Mode with Networking the instructions on how to do so are shown below. 
 
1. Start your computer in Safe Mode with Networking. For instructions on starting in Safe Mode with Networking

2. Open Webroot SecureAnywhere from the tray, start menu or desktop icon.
3. Click on the cog icon next to 'PC Security'. http://www.webroot.com/En_US/SecureAnywhere/PC/WSA_PC_Help.htm#C2_Scanning/CH2e_Defining_Custom_Scan...
4. Open the 'Scan & Shields' tab.
5. Click the 'Custom Scan' button.
6. The default scan option is 'Deep'. Click Scan.

This will start a Deep Scan of your system. Please allow this scan to complete and remove any threats found. Once the scan is complete, you may restart your system normally. And please let us know if your issue persist as you may need to Submit a Support Ticket for further Expert help free of charge with your Active Subscription.

Hi streamsaver,

I did find a Webroot Blog back in 2009 about this Worm-Shiv. It's an interesting read http://www.webroot.com/blog/2009/04/08/inane-shenanigans-with-worm-shiv/

Regards,

I went to your website prior to contacting you and saw the video. It was surreal.

It has found 14 threats after 2 hrs 5 min 500K files (41% finished)

Hi streamsaver.
 
That's alot of threats. It's a very slow process but Webroot is very thorough and Webroot will repeat the scan again when it's finished to make sure the threats are gone. Have patience and this will be rewarding. I always get excited when Webroot finds these threats like no other AV. Webroot has fixed alot of computers that I have worked on. Soo
 
 
Thanks for keeping us posted. I'll be here the rest of the day if you need anything.
