My computer is showing that Webroot is infected (Security Anywhere v8.0.7.28). I've owned this for less than 3 months. It will run the scan but has identified ONE threat that STILL SHOWS ACTIVE!! WHHHYYYY?? I want it GONE ASAP!! I can tell it's affecting my laptop but didn't realize that was what the problem was.
