Changing the shield alert method

When the Webroot software detects activity related to any of the shield settings, it displays an alert. Alerts that require immediate attention always open in a separate window and cannot be changed. Alerts that do not require immediate attention open in a pop-up window from the system tray; if desired, you can change the alert method so that the program opens and shows alert details in the Alerts panel on the Home page.

To select the alert method:

1.	From the Icon panel, click Options.

2.	Click the Shields tab.

3.	From Shield Alerts Method, select either:

•	Show notification above system tray: Shows a small, pop-up window above the system tray (lower-right corner of your screen) whenever the Webroot software needs to alert you to an activity that does not require immediate action. If the pop-up has a link, you can click it for more details.

•	Open the program to show alert details: Opens the program’s Main window for most types of alerts that require additional information. (Some alerts are informational pop-ups, which still display only as a pop-up above the system tray.)
