Webroot wont connect to the internet.
Hello ddfaulk,

 

Welcome to the Webroot Community,

 

Can you tell me if you are running a Mac or a Windows PC?

 

 
Hi ddfaulk,

 

If you are running a Mac.

 

Did you want to uninstall/reinstall Webroot? This usually fixes this issue. If you do follow below:

 

To uninstall Webroot SecureAnywhere, follow the instructions below.


  1. Shut down SecureAnywhere by clicking the Webroot icon http://sw.nohold.net/Webroot/Images/wsa_icon.png in the menu bar and selecting Shut Down SecureAnywhere.

  2. Open the Finder by clicking the Finder icon http://sw.nohold.net/Webroot/Images/mac_finder_icon.png in the dock.
     
  3. Open the Applications directory.

    Webroot SecureAnywhere is now uninstalled.  There is no need to restart your computer.
     
Reinstall Webroot

 You can install SecureAnywhere on Mac OS X 10.7 and above. An Internet connection is required to install the software.



To install the software:

 


  1. Click here to download the SecureAnywhere  installer to your Mac. Or Click here if you have the Best Buy Geek Squad Subscription service.
  2. Double-click wsamac.dmg to open the installer.
  3. Drag the Webroot SecureAnywhere icon into the Applications folder.


     
  4. In the first activation window, enter your keycode and click Activate.

Now encase you are running Windows, follow below:

 

Please follow the steps closely!

 


  • Make sure you have a copy of your 20 Character Alphanumeric Keycode! Example: SA69-AAAA-A783-DE78-XXXX

Mac. I shut down the Webroot. I try to drag the icon to the trash, but it won't delete.
Hi  ddfaulk,

 

Sorry to hear you are having troubles. Thern it would be best to Contact Support and if you submit a Support ticket they are open 24 hours a day x 7 days a week. They will usually answer within 24-48 hours if not sooner. Or you can call tomorrow.

 

Also you can open activity monitor in the utilities folder, select the app and and click the red button that says "quit process".

 

But I would contact support.

 

 

 

 
I got it.  I uninstalled and reinstalled.  Thanks
Great! Did the reinstall help your issue?

@ A hint on Uninstall: Sometimes Webroot is stubborn to uninstall with the "drag and drop". I always use the "right click", "move to trash" method in the applications folder. Works like a charm all the time. ;)
