Ok so My webroot is expirecing in like 7 days , the popup keeps coming up onthe bottom right, so I purchased a new key from amazon and installed the new key and webroot works fine , it starts ike normal witht the green screen in the bottom right but the annoying messge also keeps poping up too saying “ Protection expiring soon! “ and I have to X it out every time. How do I stop this from occuring? its happening to all my devices even thought the program works fine with the new key entered.

Ok it looks like we have a fix , I did have to uninstall the program off each one that had the problem per instructions then reinstalled with the link to the download , make sure you download a new download just to make sure they didn’t add anything needed, I will attach the instructions support sent to me to follow that worked..
thank you all for your help, it is well appreciated !
