webroot froze at 10% while removing virus threat.  One active threat remains.  Need help ASAP.
Hi joshts

 

This does occassionally hapen and in those cases we usually recommend an uninstall/clean reinstall to resolve the issue. If you would like to try that then please follow the steps below closely!

 


  • Make sure you have a copy of your 20 Character Alphanumeric Keycode! Example:SA69-AAAA-A783-DE78-XXXX
  • KEEP the computer online for Uninstall and Reinstall to make sure it works correctly
  • Download a Copy Here (Best Buy Subscription PC users click HERE)
  • Uninstall WSA and Reboot
  • Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode and do NOT import any settings if offered by the installer; to as you can set it up as you like once it's done
  • Let it finish it's install scan
  • Reboot once again
Now try running a scan again and all being well this time it will not freeze on you. Post back to let us know how things have gone for you re. this.

I restarted the pc and was able to restart and rescan using webroot.  The rescan completed the scan and no problem exist now.  I also reacanned the pc again and it completed the process with no new threats found.  Thank you.
