I bought the CD for Webroot Internet Security Plus from BestBuy. I went through the install process, but it never shows up as installed in my program list. I have Windows-10 on a desktop.
I registered it as direted, but I can see no evidence that it actually installed.
Thanks for any ideas!

Thank you for your reply, but Webroot is not installed. Everytime I click on the downloaded file all that happens is a routine scan - no installation.
As far as I know I have followed every instruction given me both by the CD and by you, but no success yet. I have even registered the code. My PC does not show up as being protected.
Of course, there is no one at the tech chat desk. I tried.

Sherry,
I found the problem:
The Analyser program was "stuck" in my Dopwnload folder, and I couldn't delete it. That was making it run everytime. So it never got to the point of installing WR. Everytime I tried to delete it, it would say it was being used by the Anlyser. On a hunch, I rebooted, and that made it possible to delete it.
Then I ran the CD install again, and this time it worked.
I had to re-enter my ID code, but at least it seems to be working.
Question: My old Norton software is turned off, but should I uninstall it completely?
Thanks again!

Hello Deadeye
That's great to hear you have this issue resolved. Yeah!:D Thanks for letting us know!
Yes I would uninstall Norton because it's just using up resources and Webroot is all you need IMO.
Here is some information about uninstalling Norton.
