Does webroot scan a file while it download to your PC?  If so, how can you tell if it’s scanning?  I did not see any SecureAnywhere pop up saying it’s being scan.  Much appreciate if any one can answer, thank you.

Webroot will scan the file once it completes and hits the disk. 

Hello @hearty 

 

Just to add WSA’s real time shield will scan your system always when it’s running: https://docs.webroot.com/us/en/home/wsa_pc_userguide/wsa_pc_userguide.htm#ShieldingYourPC/PCShieldsOverview.htm%3FTocPath%3DShielding%2520Your%2520PC%7C_____1
