To install the program:

Start the installation routine either from a CD or from a downloaded file:

If you are installing from a CD, insert the CD into the CD drive. An installation dialog opens where you can click a link to begin. If the installation dialog does not open, use Windows Explorer to navigate to your CD drive and double-click the software's installation file.

If you don't have a CD, click here to download the installer file.  After downloading the file, double-click it to begin the installation process.

If you purchased from Best Buy, click here to download the installer file. After downloading the file, double-click it to begin the installation process.

When the Webroot installer dialog opens, enter your keycode in the field. (If your keycode came in an email, you can copy and paste the code into this field.) If you don't know where to find your keycode, click Help me find my keycode.


If desired, you can click Installation Options at the bottom of the dialog to modify the following settings:

Change the installation location. In this field, you can enter a different folder for the SecureAnywhere installation files.

Create a shortcut to Webroot on the desktop. This option places a shortcut icon on your Windows Desktop for Webroot SecureAnywhere.

Randomize the installed filename to bypass certain infections. This option changes the Webroot installation filename to a random name (for example, “QrXC251G.exe”), which prevents malware from detecting and blocking Webroot’s installation file.

Protect the Webroot files, processes, and memory from modification. The option enables self protection and the CAPTCHA prompts (CAPTCHA requires you to read distorted text on the screen and enter the text in a field before performing any critical actions). For more information, see Setting access control.

Change language. To change the language displayed in SecureAnywhere, click the Change Language button and select from the supported languages.  (You can only change the displayed language during installation, not after.)

Click Close when you are done editing these options.

 At the main Installation dialogue, click Agree and Install to being installation.

If you are prompted to enter an email address, enter your email address and click Continue.

SecureAnywhere begins scanning and configuring the application. If your system is clean, SecureAnywhere displays a status screen similar to the following example.
