How do i know that WEBROOT is protecting my PC

Hi jrstormshelter and welcome to the community.
 
Click on the WSA icon on the desktop or in the icon tray 
 

 
Main Screen
 

 
You can see from the main screen that the status of the last scan and when the next scan is scheduled.
You can also see what shields are enabled in the PC Security section.
Clicking on the Identity tab will show the shields status in that section.
If any are turned off you can switch them on.
 
Hope this helps but if you have additional questions please feel free to ask.
 
Dave
