how do I manually shut Webroot off when downloading programs
programs tell me to turn off virus protection as I install the program
Hello there, welcome to the Community!
First of all, be VERY careful about programs that want you to disable virus protection during install. Often, these are actually malware of some sort, so make sure you fully trust the software and the source you are getting it from. Please do not leave protection off any long than you need to.
To turn off Webroot:
Right click the WSA icon in the System Tray
Select Shut Down Protection.
If this does not work, you may need to check the main WSA settings.
Open WSA
Click Advanced Settings at the upper right
Make sure that the options to "Show a system tray icon" and "Allow SecureAnywhere to be shut down manually" are both checked.
I hope this helps!
