Hi melissaku33Welcome to the Community Forums.There is no WSA version for Windows Phone because there is no need for anti malware software due to the way that Microsoft have locked down the mobile OS kernel. There is really no way that malware can get onto the phone and run.There are feature requests for the provision of a Phone version but at present as far as I know Webroot have no plans to produce one.Regards, Baldrick

Hi Melissa
 
You are most welcome...I know all of this because I am a Windows Phone user myself (great phone/reat OS) and have been through trying to find out  a while back. ;)
 
But who knows...at some time in the future Webroot may decide there is a need and/or a market and decide to produce a version of WSA for the phone.  So keep an eye open.
