Hello to all webroot users
I am new to the webroot internet security apps. and the forumns and would like to secure my
WR internet security account, with a password protected account before any would be hacker
might see that it's not yet pass word protected. How do I assign a pass word settings account
for my Web Root Security?
I previously had a Norton Internet Security  account that I never assigned a PW for settings
changes, and was hacked, and a hacker took advantage by filing for himself a pass word
which locked me out.
Thanks for any help.

Hello Again,
 
I believe this is what you are looking for.
 
If you want to have Password Protection for Webroot Please open Webroot/Advanced Settings at the top right corner./Scroll to Access Control/ Enable Password.. Also do not loose this Password because you won't be able to access Webroot without contacting Support! This password will protect Webroot from unauthorized users other then yourself.
 


 
Best Regards,
