WSA is acting very odd
I posted a few weeks ago about Webroot's scan jumping past "Scanning for Rootkits" and going from 14% complete to 72% complete. (Which is very odd and now how it has acted on any other computer I have it installed on.) Now when I open WSA and click "scan" the program window disappears, I get the list of features in the bottom right corner of the screen that comes with booting and I see two icons in my system tray. Should I re-install? Or if there is something wrong will reinstall not help me?
Hello there, welcome back.
Once in a while I have had the 'two icons in the system tray' happen, usually when a program update has rolled out. Roll your mouse over them both and see if one of them goes away. I do not know if an update has been released today, but when they do come out they are usually pretty much silent: you never see them as it does it automatically in the background and it only takes a few seconds.
If the double icon does NOT go away with a mouse over them both, go ahead and do a reinstall.
Please follow the steps closely!
