I just read in PC magazine the threat of a virus called StageFright.  This virus will call your number and gain access to your files
Just as a precaution I wanted to know if WebRoot is on top of it, and if so what to do.

Hello fred, welcome to the Community!
 
This bug is not actually malware, but instead it is a 'hole' in the Android OS itself in some versions.  Please read this reply from our member ? for more information on this issue.
