• Good question. I guess it depends if you already have malware in your computer. Webroot will attempt to remove what it can, but it can have its limits when it comes to the dominance and control of a malware software infection. You can always install Webroot, do a system scan, remove what it suggests, and restart the machine. If the problem persists, you could also download and install Malwarebytes. That would be your second option. If all else fails, you may be looking at reinstalling your OS software.

• Sunnypal, Thank you for your inquiry, I'd be happy to answer that for you. Webroot detects and removes only malicious software. While many versions of adware are legitimately bad, there are quite a few that are not. Basically, anything trying to compromise your security we will detect and remove, while something that simply shows ads, we cannot interfere with. I hope this has answered your question. Please do not ever hesitate to contact us if you are requiring assistance. Warm Regards, James G. Webroot Community Support Team
