My backup files have never been scanned and I need to know how to instruct WEBROOT to scan only the external drive. My operating system is OSX Yosemity. It is not intuitive or either I am more dense than I thought. It will take a good while to scan that big a disk but it has to be done as I am sure there are threats lurking in the large number of backups residing on that disk.
Thanks for any guidance for this novice.

Hello ?,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
Have look here at the online Mac User Guide
Running a scan with 2 TB could take days...
 
Please take a look at this post and this post about Mac's external drive, where ? (The Mac Threat Researcher)...
explains Time Machine backups.
 
 
 
Hope this helps and if you have anymore questions then please ask.
 
 
 
Kind Regards
