Question

What can I do about WSdaemon maxing out the cpu?

Activity monitor shows WSdaemon using unto 120% cpu usage, my fan is running almost constantly. This used to happen while watching films but now whenever I surf the net.

Anyone got a solution?

See here: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Complete/Is-Webroot-Secu re-Compatible-with-OSX-Mavericks/td-p/64245

But I'd just uninstall it as it is most likely completely useless.
