Hello Catitude1957,
Welcome to the Community Forum,
Are you taklking about the lyellow lock in the system tray when webroot is connected to the internet?
Occasionally, you will notice that the SecureAnywhere icon in your system tray includes a small padlock symbol:
This lock symbol indicates that you are running an application that is protected by the Identity Shield in your Webroot software. Protected applications are secured against information-stealing malware, but also have full access to data on the system. By default, web browsers are given the "protected" status. If desired, you can also add other software applications to the "protected" list, such as financial management software.

Hope this help! And if not then please get back to us.
Kind Regards,
