Hi Claypool and welcome the community,
 
You did not say what OS you are using but I know with Windows you have several options.
 
You can right click on the WSA icon in the icon tray and left click scan now
 
Right click a drive and from the file explorer context menu select scan with Webroot
 
You can Left click on the Webroot icon and from the main Webroot screen you can click Scan My Computer.
 
You can Left click on the Webroot icon and from the main Webroot screen you can click the gear button to the right of the PC Security and click Scan My Computer
 
You can Left click on the Webroot icon and from the main Webroot screen you can click the gear button to the right of the PC
 
Security and click Custom Scan and make the appropriate selections.
 
Hope this helps and feel free to ask additional questions anytime.  There are many friendly people here who would love to help you.

Never a problem.  As they say, "no such thing as a stupid question".  If there were I would be so guilty.
 
Take care and come back often.
