That was my understanding also.

slowpoke · Answer

That's the year that version was made, but it really shouldn't matter what year you bu because you get upgrades with it. Your computer should update automatically to the current year and version.

Researcher · Answer

The years mentioned are the versions that product was manufactured. Updates are valid, however the update would reflect the year update was installed.

I would try n uninstall those outdated ones, n clear space, if the new version wants or needs them to stay there they will indicate to leave them if you need them.

The dates simply mean the year the newest version was released. Webroot has discontinued adding the year to our products because they are now updated on a continual basis - your product will be up to date when you purchase it, and will continue to be updated as changes are made. A feature unique to Webroot is that all of these updates will happen silently behind the scenes so you will not notice any interruptions.
