I just installed Webroot on my computer and I noticed that my subscription is like for 145 days.. Normally all Antivirus are for 1 year but seems that one is just for some days.. I would like to know it's really a some-days protection?

Hello roodyabmette, welcome to the Community!
 
Did you perhaps purchase your copy at Best Buy, or was it provided to you free with the purchase of a device?  If so, that would explain it.  
 
Most likely you have a Best Buy Subscription Software copy.  Those activate UPON PURCHASE.  If you look at the front of the box, there will be a graphic noting this, or it might say INSTALL NOW.
 
It is routine for Best Buy to provide a 6 month free subscription with the purchase of a device, or if some months ago you purchased Geek Squad Tech Support you may have recieved the Webroot subscription with that.  Either way, the license begins upon purchase, not upon install.
 
I hope this helps, and if you purchased from somewhere other than Best Buy please let us know!

I think it's just the reason. I had it from BestBuy for buying my new laptop...
 
 
It's all ok.
