I downloaded the software, but the error message says that I need a later version. Isnt there a version of the software available compatible with my system?

Daniel,
The file structure for 10.6 is different from that of 10.7, so our program would call for directories that doesn’t exist and this would cause errors.

It looks like we're only supporting 10.7 and up - sorry about that!  Are you able to upgrade your device to a newer version of OS X?

Also it Supports Windows XP why doesn't WSA support older Mac OS's? Is the main Code that different?

Hello,
 
When I had my Hard Drive replaced last November on my 2007 Mac. I was told I had to upgrade to Mountain Lion..to install Webroot. Which I later upgraded to Maverick and then Yosemite.
 
Eevrything running like a charm with Webroot so I'd advise the upgrades IMO.
 
 
Kind Regards,
