Hello. I am wondering if you can help me. Here is the problem. I have been trying to uninstall the Webroot SecureAnywhere on my Windows 10 PC for days, but failed to uninstall it. I tried many ways, but nothing changed. All I got were errors. It told that the program couldn’t be uninstalled because there was something wrong with configuration. To uninstall it, I needed to reinstall the software. I tried, but was not able to install either. I am so frustrated. Why is it so difficult to uninstall this software? Is there any difference between it and other regular software? Can you please guide me about how I can uninstall Webroot SecureAnywhere?
Webroot SecureAnywhere is a useful antivirus solution. As a lightweight and cloud-based antivirus, it is popular and protects users from different kinds of cyber threats. It comes with rich features that users expect from antivirus program. After users first install it, it makes a full scan of the system and displays the PC health. It will run a scheduled scan every day as users set it. It blocks dangerous URLs, stop malicious files downloading and remove malware for users, keeping the PC clean and safe.
When users install Webroot SecureAnywhere, a list of software will be installed alongside. Many users think they are useful. They can use password manager which helps them manage passwords effectively and keep all of their accounts safe. Their PC and data will be protected when they use unsecured network. Their browsing activities will be private with the VPN features. However, some users found all the tools and features caused them problems. The PC slowed down and froze for no reason. Some users purchased independent password manager and VPN products, so they don’t need the extra features. We can’t say the software is bad or good. Different users have different needs, so they have different reviews of the products. Keep it if you like it. Simply uninstall the software if you don’t like it.
No matter which product you use, you may run into problems. What problems do you have with your software? According to a recent research, some users complained the software took lots of space and memory on the PC. That causes a long-time startup and frequent system crashes. When they turned on the PC, they only see black screen. Sometimes, they only saw the Start button while the button does not work at all. They clicked the button, but couldn’t open the start menu. They force restarted the PC many times, but no luck, and still could not access the system. The PC did not work at all. Sometimes, they were luck to access the system. At that time, they considered to uninstall the software to fix the problems.
Some users got Webroot SecureAnywhere free trial and used it for a test drive. However, they found out that the software is not compatible with their old security software. With the conflictions between different security software, they barely can use the PC for work. It is common that one antivirus is not compatible with other ones. You can try the service thoroughly and decide to keep one only. At the end of the free trial, users see message like “your Webroot subscription has expired, please buy it now”. To continue to enjoy the protection, you can upgrade to their premium version. If it is not the service you want, you may look for a way to uninstall Webroot SecureAnywhere. However, you may find out that it is not that easy to uninstall the software via the Windows remover.
Some users reported that nothing happened after they clicked Uninstall button on Windows. Some uses even can’t find Webroot SecureAnywhere on their app list, let alone click Uninstall. Some users have been stopped by errors. When they try to uninstall, they are required to go through many steps and redirected to websites to fill forms. They also need to log in “MyWebroot Account Console” to deactivate the computer so as to uninstall the software successfully. Some users are told that they do not have permission to uninstall the software. Sometimes, users were able to uninstall the software while they were told that there were files could not be removed. It is common that there are leftovers after you uninstall the software manually. As time goes by, the junk files take a large amount of your hard drive space and the useless registry entries clog up the registry. That is not good for your PC performance. The leftovers can bring many problems that stop you from using the PC normally. Therefore, ensure all files are removed when you uninstall Webroot SecureAnywhere.
