    Hello Betsy and Welcome to the Webroot Community!
     
    Well the word Malware covers all Malicious Software so you are covered from a Massive Cloud Database with no need for Definition Downloads as it's always up to date! The only Updates you will see are program Updates from here: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Release-Notes/bd-p/ReleaseNotesWSA and WSA for short you are very well protected if you like you can look at the Online HelpFile: http://www.webroot.com/En_US/SecureAnywhere/PC/WSA_PC_Help.htm#OpeningPage.htm if you have more questions feel free to ask! Enjoy!
     
    Cheers,
