Hello @,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
Please  have a look at the Mac User Guide. http://live.webrootanywhere.com/content/545/Using-the-SecureAnywhere-interface
 
Blue: means one or more potential risks require your attention.
 
Check to see if all that all shields are enabled http://live.webrootanywhere.com/content/560/Managing-Shields
 
Has Webroot scanned your Mac for any threats? Also reboot your Mac and see if its still showing the blue exclamation mark.
 
@ you may need to uninstall/reinstall and I can give you instructions for this if you want.

Every 6 weeks or so I also get the blue exclamation point. It does not mean that I am at risk, but that my license information is lost somehow.


Only way to resolve this is uninstall and reinstall. Very annoying....

Managed to resolve this issue by manual connecting to a different network, restart and reconnecting to my primary network. By doing so communication between Webroot and cloud has been restored. Webroot is working like a charm again 🙂

Awesome RPI,
 
Thank you so much for letting us know how you resolved this issue. That makes sense that Webroot had a communication problem.. ;)
 
Have a great day!
