I rebooted my computer and now have a taskbar message from Webroot saying 'scan required', but nothing opens or pops up when I click the taskbar message.
Also, I can't access Webroot via desktop icon or control panel.
I do not have the keycode saved because it was always visible when I did scans (so I didn;t write it down). What should I do?
problems after reboot

First of all, I need to say that I've never done anything like this without assistance from my tech-savvy kids (who are unavailable today), so I want to get it right.
noticed that there were a few mentions of 'uninstalling' and 'rebooting' in your reply, yet, the e-mail I received just referred to 'installing'. If it was deleted or uninstalled through the rebooting, do I really need to do the whole uninstall-reboot process?
I appreciate your help.

+62Hi drts,
Yes if you can follow those instructions that I gave you. It sounds like you still have Webroot installed. Please follow the process and give us a holler if you need any help. Just remember to have your keycode ready and do not import any settings if asked.
We will be here if you need anything.
