It is possible to shut down or temporarily disable the Webroot Business Endpoint Protection agent. This is helpful if you need to disable the agent for any reason and don't want to completely uninstall it.

The ability to shut down the agent is controlled by the Allow SecureAnywhere to be shut down manually setting in the Basic configuration section of the endpoint policy. With this setting enabled, right clicking the Webroot icon in the system tray will present the option to shut down Webroot.
