I want to uninstall Webroot Secure Anywhere trial version, Mac OS X, (so that I can install one of three WR applications that I purchased on another computer). When I try to drag it to trash, it won't, because it's open. I can't figure out how to close it. How do I close, and uninstall, an expired trial version of Webroot?

Hello @chadgb and Welcome to the Webroot Community!

Try this to see if it works!

1. Shut down SecureAnywhere by clicking the Webroot icon in the menu bar and selecting Shut Down SecureAnywhere.

2. If prompted, confirm that you want to shut down SecureAnywhere.

3. Open the Applications directory.

4. Click and drag the Webroot SecureAnywhere program icon into the Trash in the dock.

5. A confirming window appears. Click Uninstall.

Webroot SecureAnywhere is now uninstalled. Reboot the computer.

Thanks,

Go here and look at Number 4 within settings to see if Allow SecureAnywhere to be Shut down Manually is checked!

Hello @chadgb if I may add. Please look at the Top Right Mac Menu bar. The little Green "W" click on that. In the dropdown click "Shut Down Webroot" then follow the instructions @TripleHelix posted.

You're getting there @TripleHelix we'll make you a Mac expert yet. LOL
