If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, you must define the proxy connection data; otherwise, Webroot cannot send updates to your computer. A proxy server is a computer system or router that acts as a relay between your computer and another server.
For more information about your proxy environment, contact your proxy server’s administrator.
To define proxy server settings:
From the system tray, double-click the Webroot icon.
The main interface displays.
In the upper right corner, click Advanced Settings.
The Settings pane displays with the Install Settings sub-pane active.
Select Proxy.
The Proxy pane displays.
