Hello bamdem67,
Would you please give me more information concerning this error. Is Windows Action Center? If so you might need to reinstall Webroot. I can give you exact information and guide you to uninstall/reinstall Webroot.
But first have you rebooted your PC after installing Webroot?

Welcome to the Community Forums.
I believe that Sherry is offline so I will look to help out in the interim.
I would suggest that you had best try an uninstall/clean reinstall to make sure that this is not down to a faulty install. If you would like to try this then please follow the steps below closely!
Hope that helps?

- Make sure you have a copy of your 20 Character Alphanumeric Keycode! Example:SA69-AAAA-A783-DE78-XXXX
- KEEP the computer online for Uninstall and Reinstall to make sure it works correctly
- Download a Copy Here (Best Buy Subscription PC users click HERE)
- Uninstall WSA and Reboot
- Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode and do NOT import any settings if offered by the installer; to as you can set it up as you like once it's done
- Let it finish it's install scan
- Reboot once again
Hope that helps?

Hi bamdem67
Sorry to hear that is the case. Would you please try a further uninstall/clean reinstall as per the guidance provided previously and then monitor the position re. WSA.
If you see this happen again then please Open a Support Ticket, providing a link to this thread so that the Support Team can see what has been tried, etc., and then hopefully they can get to the bottom of the issue for you.
