How do I update the scan data base?

Hello johnwiley!

 

Welocme to the Community!

 

 

Can you explain abit more of what you are asking? But here's a useful Help Guide that has alot of information.  And if you want to change the schedule you can do it as explained here.

SecureAnywhere launches scans automatically every day, at about the same time you installed the software. You can change the scan schedule to run at different times, change the scanning behavior, or turn off automatic scanning.



To modify the scan schedule:

  1. Open Webroot SecureAnywhere.
     
  2. In the upper right corner, click Advanced Settings.

  3. In the Settings panel, click Scheduler and make sure the Scan Schedule tab is selected.

  4. In the Scan Schedule panel, you can:
     
    • Disable automatic scanning by clicking the checkbox next to Enable Scheduled Scans so that the checkmark is removed. Then click Save.  
    • Change the scanning schedule by selecting new values in the Scan Frequency and Time fields. If you choose one of the "when resources available" options, the scan will launch when computer resources are available, generally within an hour of the time you select. When you're done, click Save.
See the following table for a description of options.  Scan Schedule option Scan on bootup if the computer is off at the scheduled time  Launches a scheduled scan within an hour after you turn on your computer. If this option is disabled, SecureAnywhere ignores missed scans. Hide the scan progress window during scheduled scansRuns scans silently in the background. If this option is disabled, a window opens and shows the scan progress. Do not perform scheduled scans when on battery powerHelps conserve battery power. If you want SecureAnywhere to launch scheduled scans when you are on battery power, deselect this option. Do not perform scheduled scans when a full screen application or game is openIgnores scheduled scans when you are viewing a full-screen application (such as a movie) or a game. Deselect this option if you want scheduled scans to run anyway. Randomize the time of scheduled scans up to one hour for distributed scanningDetermines the best time for scanning (based on available system resources) and runs the scan within an hour of the scheduled time. If you want to force the scan to run at the exact time scheduled, deselect this option. Perform a scheduled Quick Scan instead of a Deep ScanRuns a quick scan of memory.  

Please get back to us if I have't answered your question.;)
