Why does a scan only take 30 seconds, doesn't this Webroot do "deep Scans"...
Why do scans only take about 30 seconds....doesn't Webroot do deep scans.. I ask cause my computer gets high jacks by "Big Daddy" ads offering webs sites . I scan several times, but come back "No Problem Found"... ( I've got 99% of the box's check to be scan, and set up as tight as Webroot seams to let you set it up.... "No Intruders"

Hi Slider2540,
Welcome to the Webroot Community.
If I may just add to what Dave has posted.
The default setting for Webroot is the "Deep" scan, as described in the link Dave provided. You are able to do a full scan by doing the following:
Open Webroot interface and click on the gear next to PC Security.
?
Then click the Custom scan button near the left of the window and choose the "Full" scan option and clcik Start scan.
?
?
These scans take considerably longer but will scan all files on your drive.
Hope this info helps,
BD

So the right-click scan option is a Full scan? I did not know this. Thanks Daniel. I just learned something new about Webroot! :D@ wrote:
Or just right click on a drive and select Scan with Webroot from the Context Menu!
