I discovered a small flaw installing SecureAnywhere on my Macs if you have more than one user account and your other accounts don't have admin privilages. The WSA security extention for Safari does not install on the non-admin accounts.
 
The work around: You must enable admin rights on all accounts before installing.  If you installed before enabling the admin rights, go into each account, enable admin rights, log into the account, open Webroot, disable and re-enable web security.
 
The installer will launch and you can then install the security extention on the account.
 
Don't forget to turn off admin rights when done!
 
Just a tip from your uncle Earle!
 
Webroot: Modify the software to prompt for the admin password!!!

I am no Mac user or expert but thank you very much for taking the time to share this tip.  Hopefully it will be of great use to the other Mac users of WSA who frequent this forum.
 
Stick around and share more of your expertise, why don't you...this is a great place to share AND learn.
