There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS, because of the underling UNIX  Foundation and Permission Limitation. 


The Operating System resides in a Sealed and Read Only Volume that can not be opened by the User nor by Third Party Applications.


The only Entity that can open and modify or alter this Volume is Apple.


That would occur when a update or UpGrade is performed.


The Only thing this Antivirus software is protecting is the Bank Account of the Developers and for zero return to the User aside from the problems this software creates.


AntiVirus Developers purposefully Market their product to create a “ Fear Factor “. In so doing, creating a False Need for their Product.


Security. Built right in


Mac app security enhancements


The The Built in Security  is all that is required to protect the computer.

Webroot? I don't know. When I installed it for evaluation purposes not only did I determine its uninstallation instructions were ineffective, it proved so difficult to eradicate I completely erased the affected Mac.


Contact its developer, but when I did that even they were unable to help. Subsequent to that time, others reported a method that worked for them: WS daemon - Apple Community
