Guest You want to run a scan
WebrootThis solution addresses Webroot SecureAnywhere for mac OS

Scans run automatically every day, at about the same time you installed SecureAnywhere. For example, if you installed SecureAnywhere at 8 p.m., it always launches a scan around 8 p.m. It will not disrupt your work, nor will it launch while you play games or watch a movie. During scans, SecureAnywhere searches all areas where potential threats can hide, including drives, files, and system memory. It looks for items that match our threat definitions, match descriptions in our community database, or exhibit suspicious behavior.

See the instructions below for viewing the latest scan results and for running a scan immediately.

Viewing the latest scan results
  1. Open the SecureAnywhere interface (click the Webroot icon  in the menu bar, then select Open Webroot SecureAnywhere from the drop-down menu).
     
  2. From the main window, look under the Protected panel.



    The panel shows the statistics of the last scan for threats.
     
Running a scan immediately

Although scans run automatically, you can launch a scan at any time. An immediate scan might be necessary if you surfed a high-risk website (networking, music, or adult entertainment), downloaded high-risk items (screen savers, music, or games), or accidentally clicked on a suspicious pop-up advertisement. You can run a scan in one of two ways: from the menu bar or from the main window. Choose the appropriate instructions below:
 
To run a scan from the menu bar:
  1. From the menu bar, click on the Webroot icon .
     
  2. In the drop-down menu, click Scan for Threats.


To run a scan from the main window:
  1. Open the SecureAnywhere interface (click the Webroot icon  in the menu bar, then select Open Webroot SecureAnywhere from the drop-down menu).
     
  2. Click Scan for Threats.

If SecureAnywhere locates threats, it opens a window that guides you through the quarantine process. For more information, see Managing detected threats.
