inserted WebRoot CD into the computer, nothing happened!!
I purchased WebRoot for my daughter's new computer because the antivirus software seems to get good reviews. When we inserted the WebRoot CD into the computer, nothing happened. There was no response of any kind. The instructions Explainer videos don't include any customer support phone number. Just a support email address. Uh oh. So I googled the WebRoot customer service phone number. I got a woman with a British accent who did nothing to address the issue. She asked for my email address and said someone would get back to me by email. Uh oh again. No one got back to me by email after several hours, so I emailed customer service myself. The next day, I got a canned email response that was a repeat of the instruction manual. None of which applied to the problem of the CD not working at all. WebRoot customer service is non-existent. The product doesn't work at all. WebRoot and its customer service are completely useless

Gee Donyclark, something certainly seems to be amiss but to blatantly claim that Webroot Products and their Customer Service Staff is " completely useless " is out of line. Ive had GRRRRRRRRREAT service from their products and their staff for a number of years.
How about relaxing and let the Support Staff investigate this for you.
On a side note, where exactly did you purchase your disc ? Was it directly through the Webroot Website ( always a good idea ) or some other on line vendor ? Was it through Best Buy perhaps ? The reason I ask is because in this day and age some on line vendors are not as honest forthright and trustworthy as days gone by.
Anyway....give Webroot a chance to iron out the issue and once they have to your satisfaction how about chiming back in with the results.

You make a good point, ROBERT1725, but I can well understand Donyclark's frustration.
Whilst we could ask if Autoplay is enabled on the machine that the installation is trying to be run, and we could also suggest that the CD is browser and the relevant installer.exe is run manually, Petr's instruction (above) should be followed, especially the part about downloading the latest installler from the Webroot site.
I would go with that as a first approach and then contact Support as recommended by JP if the first approach does not work.
But have to agree with ROBERT1725; Webroot Support Team have never delivered anything but stellar service as and when I have had to use them (which is not that frequently).
Regards, Baldrick

Greetings Baldrick, I certainly agree with what you are saying, perhaps I was a bit on edge when I posted my response. The OP claimed he purchased Webroot because of all the great reviews and then went on to say Webroot products and its support staff are useless. That just chaps my hide to read something like that. Think of how others might view Webroot if their considering purchasing a subscription and are then turned off by a comment like the OP's.
Sorta/kinda/perhaps/maybe/apologetic if I offended anyone by my postings. Ive had nothing but stellar service from Webroot. Not to brag, but I'm a very educated individual with well over 6 years of high skool, and I know Ive made the right decision by remaining with Webroot as long as I have.
