So far webroot secureanywhere is making me crazy with all of its glitches!!!!
Let's begin with the money issue first. My dad recently passed away and I am trying to get his laptop up to date so mom can use it. Apparently webroot had expired, though the green dialog box is contradicting: there was a red bar across the middle of it that read "protected" so I clicked "scan now" and it acted like it was scanning but the blue/gray box indicated that "Subscription Expired". So I looked everywhere to find an expiration date - there is none anywhere. Hmmmm, that is strange, so is it protected and expired simultaneously? I typed in the keycode on the website and still no information anywhere about the actual expiration date. Frustrated, I tried to commnicate with someone, but no way to do that unless I pay someone from the GeekSquad at least $50 to ask a simple customer service question. Frustrated again.
I did not have time for this, so I decided to go ahead and try to renew - impossible to figure that one out too - more frustrated. Ok, so this still has to be done and there is no one to help, so I will go ahead and jump through all the hoops and finally found a way to purchase a year + a cd (I have no idea if one will actually show up one day). Giving webroot money was easy as pie! finally getting somewhere - yay! I cut and pasted the new keycode in the box under "my account" great! A scan started instantly and found no threats (which I doubt is true), but at least the issue was resolved - BUT NOT!!!! Frustrated Again!!!
WHY? Because after I renewed - the green webrrot screen still reads "Subscription Expired" REALLY? Is this thing working our not? Where is my money? Where is the "protection"?
Tried again to find a way to talk to someone - no sign of help. I decide to write a question in the community forum, so I did, but even though the instructions state "write question here" it was apparently limited to a few characters. So I successfully expanded the text box, but that did not work - FRUSTRATED! So I clicked "continue' under the dysfunctional teaxt box and this page comes up - OK! I go through all of the process, type out my questions and click "Post." FRUSTRATED BEYOND WORDS - why? because I am taken to a screen that says I have to type in the user name, which I did from my earlier purchase process - but it would not take it. FRUSTRATED! So I click on "Register" which takes me to yet another long form, which I completed. Then I thought maybe, I would be redirected back to my completed question - SURPRISE! IT WAS ALL ERASED!!!! NOW I'M PISSED!
I just wanted to renew the security on this laptop, but now - 3 hours later - I'm thinking a virus would be better than this so now I JUST WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!! But it is probably gone. Why is this so complicated? Why so many ridiculous hoops and glitches? At the beginning I thought maybe I would use this protection on my computer to make it simpler - ha! I don't know what to do now. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Hey Daniel,
Thank you for your response. I did follow the renewal page you sent and it was part of my problem. I am too worn out to explain everything again to submit a support ticket. I checked out the other link you shared, but they closed at 6.30pm for non business folks. You are kind to take time out to offer assistance. Maybe after I rest tonight I can go in to work a few hours late tomorrow and be ready to spend another 3 hours trying fix the issue. I have never had this kind of problem with Spybot, Defender, Cleaner or Malware Protection. Well, there is one other company that was a huge pain, Norton. Hmmm...maybe Norton bought Webroot?
Thanks again for your help, I really do appreciate it. Don't underestimate how valuable your contributions are to others.
peace,
