76. No, I currently have 1.44, which is a popular early version.

No difficulties with expiry dates or prompts to sign up to the paid version, and it seems to be very efficient.

However, I'm no longer sure about Webroot Anti-Virus - I've used it for about ten years and always had confidence, but lately, Malwarebytes is finding Trojans, so I'm thinking perhaps Webroot has got left behind, because it should be catching those Trojans.

So I figure either I'll have to look at a new anti-virus program, or perhaps buy Malwarebytes after all. It's currently $AU29.95 for three computers, which really is pretty good value. So I'll either get a new anti-virus and run Malwarebytes free, or continue with Webroot but back it up with a subscription to Malwarebytes.
