Trojan viruses
Does Webroot detect Trojan viruses? When I logged on to the web using the Microsoft 10 I got a message that said my system had a Trojan virus and the only way I could get off the web was to shut down my computer. I ran a scan with Webroot and with the Defender and no virus was showing??? I went on the web not using the Microsoft 10 just the, what I call the old "e" and no message appeared. Any ideas?

Hello ?,
Yes, Webroot detects trojans.
What you have experienced is not a virus, it is referred to as a brwoser lock.
This usually happens when you visit a malicious website and you should be very careful where you browse.
You can either 1) kill the browser process or 2) restart the computer to get away from these.
I also would not advise calling the number if one is listed as those companies will try to scam you.
