I was alerted by Web Root that there is a threat of virus present.  After scanning, it still shows it has not been removed.  I have tried several times.
Hello fliweagles,

 

Welcome to the Community Forum,

 

To show your computer's overall protection status, the system tray icon and the main interface change  colors when there is a threat. Is Webroot red?


  • Red. One or more critical items require your intervention.
If you have been alerted then try to remove this threat in safe mode with Networking.

 

Can you run a deep scan in Safe Mode the instructions on how to do so are shown below. 

 

1. Start your computer in Safe Mode with Networking. For instructions on starting in Safe Mode with Networking

2. Open Webroot SecureAnywhere from the tray, start menu or desktop icon.

3. Click on the cog icon next to 'PC Security'. http://www.webroot.com/En_US/SecureAnywhere/PC/WSA_PC_Help.htm#C2_Scanning/CH2e_Defining_Custom_Scan...

4. Open the 'Scan & Shields' tab.

5. Click the 'Custom Scan' button.

This will start a Deep Scan of your system. Please allow this scan to complete and remove any threats found. Once the scan is complete, you may restart your system normally. And please let us know if your issue persist as you may need to Submit a Support Ticket for further Expert help.
