Joining the WARN program
The Webroot Automated Research Network (WARN) is a global community of individuals and businesses who provide Webroot with sample items detected on their computers to help us identify and fight emerging threats. When you join WARN, the software gathers information during sweeps and shielding activities, including spyware, viruses, and potential threats that are not yet classified, then sends the data to Webroot.

|
The Webroot software does not gather personal information. Your participation is completely anonymous.
|
After you installed the software, the Webroot Setup wizard prompted you to join the WARN program. You can return to that Setup wizard and change your selection.
