Hello smokegray,
 
Welcome to the Community Forum,
 
For Windows 8:
  1. Move your cursor to the bottom right of the screen to open the Charm Bar menu.  
  2. Click Search, then type the following into the Start Search bar, exactly as it appears below. Note: This path is for the default location. If you installed the program elsewhere, be sure to modify the path accordingly. "C:Program FilesWebrootWRSA.exe" –uninstall  
  3. Press the Enter key on your keyboard.  
  4. When prompted to uninstall, click Yes.
 
Please let us know if you need more assistance,

Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!
 
Can you try this but type into the Command prompt instead of Copy and Paste? For some reason it works if you don't copy and paste.
 
"C:Program FilesWebrootWRSA.exe" –uninstall
 
Thanks,
 
Daniel ;)
