•	Setting shield options. Change options that affect how shields block threats.

•	Managing detected items automatically. Determine how you want the sweeps and shields to manage items that are frequently detected (block or ignore).

•	Managing automatic updates. Change the interval at which the Webroot software checks for program updates and new security definitions.

•	Setting program options. Change some options that affect the Webroot software’s operation, such as whether it loads when you start your computer.

•	Viewing the session log. View activity for sweeps, shields, updates, and any errors that may have occurred.
