Welcome to the Webroot Community!
 
I could be wrong, but I think what the GS fellow was referring to was the System Optimizer built into your WSA software.  If you have a Best Buy Subscription version of WSA, you have this feature.  It will help to remove temp files and other un-needed items that could be slowing you down.
 
Before you use System Optimizer, I suggest you check the settings.
 
Open WSA
Click Advanced Settings at the upper right
Click System Optimizer on the left pane
Check all of the files types that can be removed on the right pane.
 
Check any file types you want removed, uncheck any that you want System Optimizer to ignore.
Click Save
 
To run the Optimizer, 
Open WSA
Click the gear tool next to Utilities
Click the System Optimizer tab
 
 
I hope this helps!
