So I installed webroot and I did a total/full scan of my computer.
After approx. 17 hours of scanning it found over a dozen items.
It says:
- Active threats:   14
- Threats removed:  0
 
How do i remove them?
It orginally showed me a list of the files as well, but i click on the screen and it all went away so now I don't even know how to find the list again either.
 
HELP!
 
thx
