Free apps for phone and pad
I downloaded the free app for my new Galaxy III. Worked like a charm. I can check the app and see the message "you are protected". Perfect. I installed the free app for my iPad 2. No joy. I never got any requests to synch it with my account. It shows it is installed but I don't have any idea what else I should see to be sure. Should I see messages like I do on my phone to let me know it is "protected"? When I look at my account, the only device that shows is the phone. Somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong or not doing.

Based on your description of the app, it sounds like you're running Webroot SecureWeb. It's a web browser. It is not an antivirus app. Its purpose is to be used in place of Safari to provide a safer browsing experience. The application does nothing unless it is in use, so no, just having it on the phone and never using it doesn't help you. I would encourage you to take look at the user guide.
If you tap into the address bar and enter a web address, you will notice it takes you to web sites. The features Howard mentioned above are used during the process of browsing the internet via the app.
This thread is related to your question as well if you have further questions about why we do not have an "antivirus app" for iDevices.
