I already use McAfee on my desktop pc running Windows 7 so will there be any conflict with SecureAnywhere?

Hello
 
 Webroot SecureAnywhere can either replace or work alongside your
existing antivirus software.
Webroot SecureAnywhere is fully compatible with other mainstream antivirus products and
will work alongside any existing antivirus software to detect and remove any threats it
misses, and to protect your financial and personal information.
You will not be asked to uninstall your existing antivirus when installing Webroot
SecureAnywhere.

Hello raymck,
Welcome to the Community Forum,
 
WSA is built so that it is compatible with other AV solutions, and while I do not use a second there are quite a few here who do. One tip is to install the other AV first: while WSA is compatible the other installer doesn't know that and it WILL complain.
 
 
 
Hope this helps,
