Hey folks,

Are any of you seeing messaging in the Mobile Protection app that says "Scan out of date"? If so, would you mind posting screenshots here in the thread below?

Not sure this is the same issue but with the new 5.5.5.38 update my J7 still cannot schedule scans - when you choose security and then scan for viruses it does seem to run a scan but when finished it shows the page that lists all the services as "on" or "safe" but no ability to make changes/choose schedule. Unless I run it manually it seems it does not update. Prior version worked like a dream. really sorry I bought 2 years of this.

I noticed Tmoney 285 is using Webroot SecureAnywhere Mobile Premier.
I am using Webroot SecureAnywhere Mobile Complete on 2 devices a Pixel 3 and TAB S2 and not having a an issue.

If people posted which version they are using as the issue maybe product specific?

This is pure speculation on my part I am wondering if the out of date scan message maybe due to a console issue?

During the battery drain issue I uninstalled Webroot SecureAnywhere Mobile Complete from my Pixel 3 and TAB S2.

I signed up for the Beta test program, installed the Beta software and my Pixel 3 was listed in my console and the TAB S2 would not show up.

I tried lots of things, uninstalls, reinstalls and in the end I added a new email address to my console reinstalled with the new email address on both devices and moved the desktop pc to the new email address and everything has been fine.

In another thread Shserjj posted that the scanning log file had not changed date, so if Webroot has changed how the software is communicating it's status and if the software cannot retrieve the information from the console data due to an a console issue it may be reporting an out of date scan?

Wow SXR6! That certainly does makes sense. Maybe the Webroot Developers can see if the Account Console is having an effect on the Mobiles "Current Scan is out of date" message just like you have mentioned.

Maybe @LLiddell can check this information out for us? But I guess we'll have to wait till Monday. Or maybe Webroot will put out an update to the Mobile this weekend. Crossing fingers..
