I am new to Webroot Antivirus and sometimes I see a pad lock inside of the webroot Icon in the task bar. Can anyone tell me what that means?

Hello there, welcome to the Community!
 
The lock icon shows up any time the currently 'active window' is a program that is being protected by the Identity Shield.  This just means that the active program is being prevented from sharing personal information.   Here is a link to the User Guide regarding this, though it is a little old.  No longer does the Identity Shield protect only on 'https' web sites.. it protects a lot more now!
 
I hope this helps!
