I just bought a new laptop and installed webroot antiviris. After a week my computer is starting to work slow. How do I speed up my computer performance and speed with Webroot? Is this possible?
Hello  and Welcome to the Webroot Community Forums!

 

This is possible using the WSA Complete version

Hi Marine200199

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

I am wondering if by any chance you may have a number of files/apps that are being monitored by WSA.  Monitoring is a condition that is usually switched on by WSA when it is unable to determine if an active app/file on your system is good or bad...if it is unable to do that it switches into 'moniotring' mode for that app/file and (i) restricts what that app/file can do & (ii) jornals anything that it can do so that if it does determine that the app/file is after all bad then it can block and ndo anythingthat it may have done to your system in the mean time.

 

Would you please have a read of this KB Article that explains what is the difference between the various tabs in WSA which you can set items to "Allow," "Protect/Monitor," or "Block/Deny"

 

1. PC Security > Quarantine > Detection Configuration

2. Identity & Privacy > Protected Applications

3. Utilities > System Control > Control Active Processes

 

And check to see if you have any apps/files set to 'Monitor'.  If you do then do not change them to another setting but just come back here and we can advise further.
