When I open Webroot to do a scan it say's "first scan not complete" In the past I have made sure all my scans were complete so, I don't know why I'm getting this message. I'm unable to move past this issue and complete or run a new scan.
Hello @Hobie358 and Welcome to the Webroot Community!



You didn't say for which device but if it's the PC version then please do a clean reinstall as that fixes most issues like this!



Please follow the steps closely!




  • Make sure you have a copy of your 20 Character Alphanumeric Keycode! Example: SA69-AAAA-A783-DE78-XXXX
  • Be sure you add your Keycode to your Online Console: Webroot SecureAnywhere Online Console
  • KEEP the computer online for Uninstall and Reinstall to make sure it works correctly
  • Download a Copy Here (Best Buy Geek Squad Subscription PC users click HERE) Let us know if it is the Mac version you need
  • Uninstall WSA and Reboot
  • Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode and DO NOT import any old settings as you can set it up as you like once it's done
  • Let it finish it's install scan
  • Reboot once again
Please let us know if that resolves your issue?
