For anyone whom I may have pointed in the proper direction for this and the subscription is about to run out, please do the following. Write down the password that's currently in use (SSDA-ONLN-AAAA-MZRJ-BCZR). Uninstall the program. Follow the below instructions, it should make the definitions not expire until 2015.

Install Instructions:

You MUST Uninstall ANY Previous version Of SpySweeper FIRST And Remove It's ENTIRE Folder. If you made install.dat "read-only" - then you
must first uncheck the "read-only" Setting before your Previous SpySweeper Can Be Removed.
i would recommend cleaning your registry of any spysweeper references as well.

DO NOT START SpySweeper after installation. Click "NO" When Asked To Start SpySweeperD

Go to The SpySweeper FOLDER which Will Probably Be located In:
C:\Program Files\Webroot\SpySweeper and locate the install.dat file.

Open it with a text editor like notepad By Right-Clicking it. Then change "dl=365" to "dl=3650" and save.

Right click the install.dat file and choose "Properties" And Check The 2 Boxes "Hidden" and "Read-Only".

Make sure spysweeper.exe is NOT running in Task Manager while you are doing this.

Won't this change when they bring out a new program version?
