+62Hello and Welcome to the Community Forum lc60074,
Webroot is light in resources and scan very fast because it's all done from the cloud. This is normal.
Please have a look here http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php and here https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Complete/The-difference-between-a-deep-scan-and-a-full-scan/ta-p/6476
Also please look at this Thread https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/Scanning-PC-suspiciously-fast/m-p/6632
If you have anymore question then feel free to ask! We are Volunteers here that like to help others in whatever way we can.
@ do you have the picture of the Cloud? I'm on a mini iPad and don't have that available.
Best Regards,

+56Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!
WSA is a smart AV/AM and does not need to look at every file it looks in places where malware could hide and running processes WSA does not care if you have dormant or unactive malware unless you scan the malware or execute it or them then WSA would jump on it or them with it's Realtime Shield and if not detected it will start monitoring what the malware is doing and if determined bad it will rollback to the pre-infections state only if WSA was installed before the infection. And all that from a 750kb program as all the work is done in the Cloud and if that infection when detected and rolled back at the same time automatically everyone using WSA would be protected from that piece of malware as there are no definition downloads as it's all in the Cloud done by the WIN Cloud Database. Smart stuff WSA is! http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php
HTH,
Daniel ;)

Is there something specific your looking for with all the scans? What sort of problems are you having?
If your having problems finding a virus with multiple AVs try a Malware scanner like Malwarebytes, or Hitman Pro.
Also make note not all these antiviruses work well together. If you install more then one it will bog down or lock up your system. Webroot has been the only antivirus that i know of that works well with other antivirus software with a little tweaking.
