Webroot Antivirus Alert on M2 MacBook Air

Good evening all,


Hope you're all staying warm tonight. I run Webroot antivirus on my new M2 15 inch MacBook Air, and it says it has an issue. I run SilentKnight and it says that the XPR hasn't ran at all. I know Macs don't get viruses, however they get malware. Does anyone know what this means? -Thank you.

XProtect runs automatically but not on any particular time-based schedule. Read about it here: Protecting against malware in macOS - Apple Support


Uninstall "Webroot". Rule 1 of Macs is don't install junk.
