Does Webroot remove malaware or do I need to purchase a specific program for removoing it?
Welcome to the Community slandry41,



Malware will be removed if its detected during a scan, during execution, or if Windows polls a directory if its contained in. They are a number of other criteria but these are the most common ones. In my opinion no you don't. Have a look here at our User Guide



Please let us know if you have more questions,



Best Regards,
Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!

 

Malware is short for Malicious Software and WSA covers all Malware!

 

Have a look at Webroot's Large WIN Cloud Database: http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php and if WSA misses any malware have a look at this short Video: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-Education/What-Happens-if-Webroot-quot-Misses-quot-a-Virus/ta-p/10202

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel ;)
