Hello Andy and Welcome to the Webroot Community Forums.
Is it possible you installed it this way? From the Online Helpfile: https://detail.webrootanywhere.com/agenthelp.asp?n=Installing_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."

Hello Andy and welcome to the Community where everyday is a new learning experience. No need to worry about the folder. @ is right. It's a randomized WSA file name. Kindly do a scan with WSA and if the system is clean install a fresh WSA. That should install WSA normally.:)

I would do as Amit suggested do a clean reinstall! Make sure you have a copy of your keycode and download fresh copy here then uninstall and Reboot then install and let it finish it's install scan and go back to see if that folder is still there and if it is and there is a file in it and then go look for C:Program FilesWebrootWRSA.exe to see if it's there if it is then go back and delete the other folder if it's there?
