Running the programThe Webroot software runs automatically when Windows starts (providing you did not turn off the Load the program at Windows startup option during a custom installation). Look for the Webroot icon in the Windows system tray in the lower-right corner of your screen. This icon indicates that the Webroot software is running and actively protecting your computer.
If you turned off the Load the program at Windows startup option during a custom installation or in the Options/Program tab, you must manually start the Webroot software by double-clicking the Webroot icon on your computer desktop or selecting it through the Windows Start Menu. This action also opens the Main window.For information about running or stopping the program, see the following topics:
