Hello,

 

I bought WebRoot through download from the WebRoot website. I had purchased my first WebRoot from Best Buy along with Geeksquad. When I try to install Webroot, the old subscription from Best Buy comes up out of the Application's folder. Can anyone help me?
Hi kindconnie

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

The Best Buy version & the Webroot versions of WSA are actually different...so before trying to install the version purchased from Webroot please uninstall the Bets Buy version, reboot your system and then run the Webroot-sourced installer, makingsure that you are (i) connected to the Internet & (ii) you have a copy of your key code to hand.

 

Let us know how you get on.
