How do you set Webroot to update its patterns?

Most other antivirus software I've used updates its virus patterns on a regular basis, but I can't find a way to do this with Webroot.

Hi kperillo
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
That is because with WSA all the signatures or patterns as you refer to them are held in the Webroot Cloud rather than being downloaded and held on the local client application.  Scan data is uploaded into the Cloud and analysed there.
 
Please see below for an explanation of how WSA works/does not require local signatures.
