      If I may start by mentioning our WIN Cloud http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php as all the work is done on there and not your PC also WSA only uses 3 to 6MB of RAM and up to 6 MB's on the Hard Drive for the Client and this is the future, it's here now! How can the other conventional AV's keep up with almost 500,000 new Malware everyday and over 142 million Malware in 2014 alone? Furthermore, Webroot has free Support as long as you have a subscription. Where as most other AV's don't have this! Webroot

      We apologize for the difficulty you've had, Neil.

      If you purchase a retail copy from the store, follow these steps to activate your new code in seconds.
      1. Open the Webroot program and click the gear icon next to "My Account" at the bottom right.
      2. Enter your keycode in the field provided under "Activate a new keycode” and click "Activate."
      3. If a scan starts automatically, allow the scan to complete.

    I only use it because it came with PC purchase. It is also ridiculous they make you put a credit card on file for auto renew, and you have to call and cancel auto renew. Absolutely ridiculous and a ploy to garner subscription costs from users that forget to call and cancel or that don't read the fine print.

    This security program is a big pain. I do not recommend this program for your computer when trying to access the security code on the package the tape peeled off a lot of the numbers and alphabet Numbers on the package. This program should have been installed by the geek squad before they gave me the computer. I do not recommend this product.

    If you want viruses, use this product, there is a reason they give it to you for free when you buy a computer. If you don't want viruses, stay away from social media websites, they are hot beds for virus infections. If you want something that works, use AVG. Been using the free version for 10 years now and never had a single virus.

      It is typically advisable to completely discard software you don't plan on using, as a product should be reviewed for its' efficacy with a well-rounded point of view.
