Nic how do you boot in to safe mode and reboot in to a normal mode? Appreciate your help.
Re: Scan function not working?
Hello apama,
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
I'm sorry but Nic is no longer with us at Webroot unfortunately. May I ask what issue you are having with Webroot? Maybe I can help? But if you want to know how to boot Windows in Safe Mode, (Networking), then please look here.
Also you can always Submit a Support Ticket and they can assist you. This is a free service with a Webroot Subscription.
Hope this helps?

Hi Sherry. My webroot does not scan and is grey instead of greeen. I never had this problem before and I have restarted my Mac pro a few times but Webroot is not functional
Hello apama,
So sorry for that you are having trouble with Webroot. Can I ask what Mac OS you are running?
@ do you have El Capitan or High Sierra?

But why do I have this problem all of a sudden?
apama,
Sometimes an Apple update may have caused some issues? I am not sure. But before I suggest anything keep in mind that you can always Submit a Supoport Ticket and they will respond usually in 24-48 hrs.
Would you want to try a uninstall/reinstall of Webroot? This usually fixes the issue most of the time.
if so please follow below:
To uninstall Webroot SecureAnywhere, follow the instructions below.

- When the system prompts you to allow SecureAnywhere to make changes, enter your Apple system password and click the OK button.

Hi again apama,
Did you say you were downloading High Sierra? That could of caused issues with Webroot if you did not have the latest Webroot version (v.9.07.50). Then the MAC OS High Sierra has Permissions that need to be addressed with Webroot.
Please let us know how things are going okay?
Thanks!

I changed the password but had to come up with a security code on my own. Now it looks like it has half installed because it says scanning but doesn’t show the progress!!
I would give it some more time to show the progress...My Mac sometimes has a delay when it said it's scanning.@ wrote:

Hi Sherry-
i finally was able to call the support and get someone live and they manually finished the installation.
This has been quite an experience.
But thank you for your help last night and the follow up.
