Hi and welcome to the Community Stefan63
Cloud technology as far as Webroot and other AV vendors are concerned means that there are no definitions which have to be downloaded constantly to our computers. It is better because as we go to different sites things are checked immediately by the databases at Webroot and the same applies for the virus definitions, as soon as one is detected it stopped in its tracks from opening. In other words by using Webroot your AV is always up to date.
This following diagram explains a lot of it.
