I put some files from this PC (Webroot protected) onto a flash drive and put it into a USB port of an old laptop someone gave me. I do not have the old laptop connected to the interent and never will.
I modified some of my files on the laptop. I want ot scan the flashdrive now before moving the files back to my C drive. I did a full scan, but it didn't look as if webroot scanned the J drive. How do I get it to do this. I also have old flash drives I would like to scan. Thank you for your help.

How do I get Webroot to scan a flash drive?

Hi hessmlou
Welcome to the Community Forums.
The simplest way; just locate the flash drive that you want to scan, in Computer or via WIndows Explorer; it does not matter which, then right click on the drive icon and select 'Scan with Webroot' which should then initiate the scan and when completed present you with a panel displaying the results.
And, Yes, currently WSA only scan, by default, the drive on which you OS is located. I do believe that there are moves afoot to change that but at present scanning other drives has to be a manual affair.
