Hey Guys
I am new to Mac and I have just got Webroot Internet Security on it. I have been scanning it daily since I got it, force of habbit I guess, but today as I have attempted to Scan, it just runs the timer on the scanner window. I have already set permissions for webroot with the firewall, any ideas guys ?
Running Mac OSx: Capitan. Verison 10.11.4
Thanks
Brad.

+62Sure thing Bradforth,
Hopefully Webroot behaves..I have an older Mac 2007 and the scan takes my system an hour and a half. So it's hard to have to uninstall Webroot but that's what you do when you are running Beta and what not!
