I have a 3 device Internet Security Plus account prchased through Best Buy.I have my desktop PC protected,and I want to add my new Lenovo Thinkpad.I found this post
https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Internet/how-do-I-add-Webroot-to-another-computer/m-p/182953/highlight/true#M4819
I will use the Best Buy PC installer  according to the link above.
The Lenovo has Macafee 30 day free trial installed already.Can I just uninstall the Macafee after I install WebRoot or is there going to be a conflict?

Hi rothie
 
There should be no problem in relation to removing McAfee after you have installed WSA...apert from the fact that McAfee can sometimes be a stubborn item to completely install, whether another security app is installed or not. And for that reason McAfee offer a Removal Tool which can be downloaded from here.
 
You may want to grab yourself a copy of the tool before you start...just in case.

Baldrick-
Thank you for the quick response and the link to macafee.Since I am running Win10(the artcle on the link didn't mention Win10),I did a search and found this link.

I installed WebRoot and uninstalled Mcafee and everything seems to be running fine.
