Getting Started
The Webroot SecureAnywhere website provides a central portal from which you can view and manage
your protected devices. To access this website, open a browser, go to my.webrootanywhere.com, and enter
your Webroot account credentials. After you log in, the SecureAnywhere website (shown below) displays your
account data and the security status of all your devices.
Depending on the SecureAnywhere edition you purchased (AntiVirus, Internet Security Plus, or Complete),
some panels will be inactive. The Mobile Security panel is inactive if you did not activate SecureAnywhere
protection on a smartphone or tablet. The Backup & Sync and Passwords panels are inactive if your
SecureAnywhere edition does not include those features. For upgrade information, see Webroot's product
offerings.

Creating an account
To use the SecureAnywhere website, you must create a Webroot account as described in this section.
Note: When you create an account, you automatically become the account administrator. The
administrator has full permissions on all account functions, which include adding other users and
specifying permissions for those users.
l Install SecureAnywhere on your computer. (We recommend that you install SecureAnywhere first, but
you can do it later if you want.)
l Have available the license keycode you used to install SecureAnywhere. (If you have additional
products and additional keycodes, you can add them later.)
l Make sure you are using one of the following browsers:
l Internet Explorer, versions 8 and 9
l Firefox, versions 3.6 and higher
l Chrome or Safari, all versions
To create an account:

Managing consoles
When you first registered an account, SecureAnywhere organized your managed devices into a single
"console." A console is a collection of one or more devices running a Webroot product. If desired, you can
create multiple consoles, which can be convenient if you are managing devices for different people and
different purposes. For example, a small business owner might want to create consoles for home and business.
The "home" console could include the laptops and mobiles devices of family members. The "business" console
could include laptops and mobile devices of employees. By creating these separate consoles, the administrator
has simplified views into the devices used by family or by employees.
After you first create an account, SecureAnywhere automatically organizes your devices into a default console
called "Unnamed Console." If desired, you can change it to a more meaningful name.
1. Open your browser and go to my.webrootanywhere.com. (See "Logging in to your account" on page 6.)
2. Click Rename to the right of the console name.
- 10 -
Managing your Account
If you manage multiple devices for friends or employees, you might want to organize them into separate
consoles.
1. Obtain a new keycode from Webroot for the devices that will be managed in the new console. Install
SecureAnywhere on those PCs with that new keycode.
2. Open your browser to the SecureAnywhere website at my.webrootanywhere.com.
3. Instead of logging in to your account, click Sign up now.
The system displays the same registration page you used to create your account.
4. In the first field, enter the new keycode.
5. In the remaining fields, specify your existing account information for the email address, password,
security code, and security question and answer.
6. Click Register Now.
Because you already created an account using your email address, SecureAnywhere recognizes your
information. The system prompts you to create a new console for the device.

l Advanced Heuristics. Analyzes new programs for suspicious actions that are typical of malware.
l Age Heuristics. Analyzes new programs based on the amount of time the program has been in the
community. Legitimate programs are generally used in a community for a long time, but malware often
has a short life span.
l Popularity Heuristics. Analyzes new programs based on statistics for how often the program is used in
the community and how often it changes. Legitimate programs do not change quickly, but malware often
mutates at a rapid pace. Malware may install as a unique copy on every computer, making it statistically
unpopular.
These heuristic settings are applied to separate areas of your computer, including the local drive, USB drives,
the Internet, the network, CD/DVDs, and when your computer is offline. For more details, see "Adjusting
Heuristics" in the Webroot SecureAnywhere User Guide for PCs.

Backup & Sync
To get started with Backup & Sync, see the following topics:
- 55 -
Management Website User Guide
l Storing files in the Anywhere folder or in your own sync folders. You can use Webroot's
preconfigured folder called the Anywhere folder or you can create your own sync folders. Any files you
place in these folders are automatically synchronized in your account, to any other computers with
shared folders, and to mobile devices with the Backup & Sync app installed.
SecureAnywhere constantly monitors the Anywhere folder and other sync folders. If it detects a change
(an edited file, a new file, or a deleted file), it immediately makes the same change to your online
account, to shared folders on other computers, and to mobile devices with the Backup & Sync app
installed. If you are working offline, SecureAnywhere automatically picks up changes the next time you
connect to the Internet.
If SecureAnywhere detects an edited file, it does not overwrite the original version stored in your
account. Instead, it uploads the latest version and makes a copy of the original file. If necessary, you can
revert back to previous versions (up to five). If you save changes a sixth time, your most recent version
is saved and the oldest version is removed.
To learn more about the preconfigured Anywhere folder, see SecureAnywhere User Guide for PCs.
l Backing up files. Instead of synchronizing files with multiple devices, you can simply back them up. For
example, you may want to back up tax returns, old photos, and a scanned copy of your passport. These
types of documents wont change and dont need to be kept in synchronization with other computers.
To learn more about backups, see SecureAnywhere User Guide for PCs.
Backup and Sync features are available from the SecureAnywhere interface installed on your computer, from a
mobile device with the Backup & Sync app installed, and from the SecureAnywhere website. These
instructions provide procedures for using Backup & Sync features available from the website. For detailed
information about using Backup and Sync features from the main interface or your mobile device, see Webroot
SecureAnywhere Help and Product Guides.

created from SecureAnywhere on your computer. You can click on a folder to view its content on the right.
The Anywhere folder is a synchronization folder automatically configured for you. You can use it to access the
latest version of files that you may want to access remotely, such as when you travel. Files you place in the
Anywhere folder are synchronized with all devices in your account that have the Backup & Sync component
configured. The Backup folder is an archive folder for each device associated with your account. All files you
upload to this folder are automatically backed up according to the schedule specified in the main interface. For
more details about the Anywhere and Backup folders, see SecureAnywhere User Guide for PCs.
The Actions drop-down menu provides tasks you can perform on the folder that is highlighted in the left panel.
This menu changes depending on what storage folder you have selected.

Management Website User Guide
l Capture user names and passwords and fill them in automatically when you access a website.
l Set up a profile you can use to fill in more extensive web forms automatically, such as credit card
payment forms.
l Generate secure passwords for all your commonly-used websites.
With the Password Manager, you will never need to remember multiple login names and passwords, write them
down on paper, or store them in an unencrypted file on your device. Plus, the Password Manager works across
all your devices, including laptops, mobile phones, and tablets.
Important note about the security of your Password Manager data: To keep your data safe from
hackers, the Password Manager encrypts all your personal data on your local computer.
SecureAnywhere uses the same encryption method employed by the US Government for Top Secret
data. The encrypted data is meaningless to Webroot and to anyone else without the decryption key. This
key is stored on your own computer and is created using your email address and master password. This
personal data is never sent over the Internet.
