I have the disk in my hand.  Legit and paid for Webroot CD.
 
My attempted installation is blocked due to an older expired Webroot program
 
A third party for help tried to frighten me with having 130 trojans infecting my computer.   After 24 agonizing minutes with not so bad [this time] pigeon English help, they offered a solution for      $149.00.   WTF ?    Bastards !

Hello sombodynew
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
To address your situation please follow these instructions below. Also I am sorry your post got lost in the mix of things which hardly ever happens, But try this below.
 
If you have a new keycode, you can activate it as follows:
  1. Open SecureAnywhere.  
  2. Click the gear icon next to My Account. Your account panel displays. [img]http://sw.nohold.net/Webroot/Images/myaccountdetails.png[/img]  
  3. Under Activate a new keycode, enter the keycode you want to add and click Activate. Note: your keycode is a string of 20 alphanumeric characters. It is unique and holds the information about your subscription. You may choose to copy and paste your keycode when prompted, to ensure that the characters are entered correctly.
If you would like to also add your keycode to your online management account, click here for instructions.
 
And btw: There are alot of these SCAMS going around all the time. Good thing you didn't pay for this because Webroot has free Tech support with an active Webroot subscription. Here is a video on What If Webroot Misses a Virus
 
Just added information if needed...

Hi sombodynew
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
If I may add...as Sherry has said you should not need to uninstall 'old' and then install 'new' versions as unless the 'old' version is a pre-2011 version then effectively there are no calendar versions of WSA anymore...the updates are incremental and ongoing.
 
If however you feel that you need to uninstall & then reinstall, and as such are having issues with uninstalling then pelase come back here as we can assist with that.
 
Regards, Baldrick
