Right click "scan this file" is missing

I downloaded and ran: SNIP which wasn’t able to deleteWRData folder. I uninstall Webroot, rebooted and tried uninstalling WRData manually from the %programdata%folder but received a message that it couldn’t be removed because it was in use by another people.Now, neither "scan individual file" or "erase file with Webroot" is working.I've used Webroot for years and this has never before happened.

authentication code

I’m being asked for authentication code, but I never receive one. System won’t let me open a online ticket. Phone support says I could be on hold for an hour. Anyone know a solution or can recommend another company?

Download of the latest virus cleaners

After renewing the Webroot subscription, dashboard still shows “Subscription - Expired” . How do I know that I am getting the latest tool for malware scans and on? The Webroot still scans; it does not detect potential rootkits malware or others.

Trojan on on my phone and Desktop?

I originally posted over four months ago under the heading ‘Email service attack ?’ with my Android Samsung Galaxy A50 showing problems Since then I have continued having problems with both my mobile and desktop.ALL scans come back as clear and green, (phone and desktop) but I am not entirely convinced.I use LastPass, and this has been targeted , I have changed the master password and latterly downloaded a recent critical windows update to my desktop (Operating 8.1) which has improved matters somewhat.I feel as though I am being set up for a hit and run attack and feel extremely vulnerable Just read an article about Trojan Teabot which rings a few alarm bells with parallels to the behaviour I am experiencing, I am now wondering if I have been infected by Teabot or similar.Any advice would be hugely welcome thanks in advance Roadhog1

Message displays every time I log onto my computer

For the past week, every time I log onto my computer, a message is displayed from Webroot asking if I want to allow it to make changes to my computer. It doesn’t appear that anything is being changed--just the annoying message is displaying. How can I get this to stop?
