I will notice that the Webroot logo, to the right of the URL address space is grayed out, apparently not running. When I click on it a logon box drops down, and I enter my user name and password. The logo then turns green, seeming to me to mean that the program now is running. But as soon as that logo turns green, a red bar appears across the screen directly under the top bar that tells me that my email address is unknown. To the far right of that red bar there's a small box that says "Try again." I do that and the entire process is repeated again and again. I am 100% confident that my address and password both are correct. I even have an email from Webroot that confirms that. I am running the Chrome browser on an iMac. So is Webroot actually running during all of this, or is it stopped? And how do I get it to stop telling me that my email address is unknown? I've been using Webroot for a couple of weeks, and this is the first problem I've faced. By the way, tech support is not espcecially impressive. I opened a ticket with them last night. They wrote to me this morning with no solutions at all, only the statement that if I continue to have problems, let them know.
Thanks,

Hi Sherry,
For the past few hours, I've been practically holding my breath and trying to make each click of my mouse as gently as possible. I don't know what to think or say, but for those past few hours, Webroot has been working normally. Since following your instructions, which seemed to do no good at the moment, I've done nothing else at all in an effort to resolve this situation. All that I now know is that Webroot seems to be working normally. If it keeps this up for a day or two or three, maybe I can breathe freely and stop worrying that Webroot may have stopped again and left my computer exposed.
I have no idea what could have caused this change for the better, but if your suggestions played a part in this success, I am grateful to you for taking the time to help me. I am thankful for your provision of help, but I honestly am hoping that I never have any further reason to be seeking help with Webroot.
Regards,
Jerry Walker
