Can Webroot detect and remove KOOBFACE Facebook malware?

Had a third party scan my laptop when my Kindle died and my computer showed multiple listings of web addresses that were "monitoring" it.  They told me I had KOOBFACE and it had taken control of my computer. Ran a scan immediately and Webroot did not show this virus or its quarantine . . .
 
Is it possible that WEBROOT did not detect it?

Sounds like the typical SCAM that is going around. Koobface cant run on your kindle, and this:

Doesnt make much sense either. If this was some 3rd party you contacted or contacted I would ignore it.

That is what I was hoping.  Thanks for the quick response!
