I just read in PC magazine the threat of a virus called StageFright.  This virus will call your number and gain access to your files
Just as a precaution I wanted to know if WebRoot is on top of it, and if so what to do.

This bug is not actually malware, but instead it is a 'hole' in the Android OS itself in some versions.  Please read this reply from our member ? for more information on this issue.
