HONOLULU -  The millionaire founder of an Internet software security company
remained missing on Hawaii's main island of Oahu this week, police said.

Steven Thomas, 36, was last seen June 30 at the Princess Kaiulani Hotel in
Waikiki, where his mother and a cousin were staying.

His family said he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in April but has
refused medication.

"He thinks everyone on the island is out to get him," Candis Thomas said of
her husband's bipolar condition. "He thinks the military is involved, he
thinks that aliens are involved, and he's just been in a real delusion state
of being fearful."

Thomas was arrested April 27 and taken to Castle Medical Center after he ran
naked into the middle of a race/walk in front of his home in Lanikai. He
also owns a home in Boulder, Colo.

He is the founder of Boulder-based Webroot Software Inc. The software
company that created the Spy Sweeper and Window Washer programs was sold in
2004 to a group of investors for about $108 million.

Thomas was concerned about the poor performance of his investment portfolio
and discussions about moving back to Colorado full-time, his wife said.
