The First Scan

If Webroot Mobile Security is allowed, it will run a first-time scan of the device and report on the results. You may have to mitigate threats to ensure the device is safe.

After Webroot Mobile Security determines the device is safe, it will prompt to enable additional security for browsing with Chrome.

Webroot Mobile Security is continuously scanning downloaded files and visited websites for malicious behavior, and will provide warnings for known bad sites.
​

Step 3: Using Webroot Mobile Security Browser

• The home screen of Webroot Mobile Security is a secure browser with extra security most browsers lack.
• Like the Chrome browser, type the website, URL, or search into the search field and search. As you use the app, the most popular sites will begin to show underneath the search field.
• The secure browser proactively blocks high risk websites, which can contain links to viruses or other malicious software programs that can capture personal information or corrupt files on your device.
• View information on day-to-day usage.
