Alerts related to potential threats

When a potential threat is detected, such as spyware trying to download, Webroot’s shields block the activity and open an alert window. You can respond to the alert by blocking the item or allowing it. If you do not respond within the allotted time shown in the counter at the bottom, the Webroot software blocks the activity.

Some alerts allow you to select Always take the selected action..., so that if the Webroot software frequently detects this item, it will always handle it based on your selection here.
