      Frank, 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.

      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

    After buying Webroot in store, I twice had to get Geek Squad to remotely install it on my desktop & laptop because on both occasions I was unable to get past the "purchase online" page I repeatedly was sent to, regardless of efforts to bypass it. Next time I get a security system, it will not be Webroot.

      Bobby, if you purchase a new subscription you have to activate the new keycode using these steps:
      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."

      Our Award-winning Support Team is also always glad to help completely free of charge.
