It can take time for the My Webroot Account to update with the scan results from your Android. What exactly is the website telling you and what version of the SecureAnywhere app are you on? If it is not the latest version (at the time of this post we are on https:///t5/Webroot-Mobile-Discussions/Version-2-8-0-3070-has-been-released/td-p/5744) please turn Automatic Updates on within the Google Play Store and update the SecureAnywhere app.
 
Please make sure that your device is connected to either a WiFi or 3G/4G connection and run another scan.
 
Please let me know your results.
hi mike im on  https:///t5/Webroot-Mobile-Discussions/Version-2-8-0-3070-has-been-released/td-p/5744) automatic update is enabled on googleplay store on my andriod device and connected to wifi update over wifi only was enabled would that affect this.

Just to speed it up, could you log out and log in your portal, and see if that updates correctly?

Hello ADD33,
 
I was just going to follow-up with you to see if you had tried what djames had suggested? Is everything reflecting on your My Webroot Account properly?

Beautiful! I am glad your issue was resolved in quite a simple way.

It might be worth to make it sticky thread and put it to FAQ as a valid solution for such a kind of problem. What do you think Webroot folks?
