I can not delete it, I removed it from my computer, but the remains remain
I am hoping that someone can help me. I purchased a piece of software named LapLink PC Mover. When I started the software, it was recommended that I run Webroot Secure Anywhere on my machine. I let it do that. Since then I have uninstalled the original software and now I can't get rid of the Webroot software. Does anyone know how I can uninstall it? I have tried the "C:Program FilesWebrootWRSA.exe" –uninstall command in the Cortana Search window and in the Run window. Nothing seems to help. When I start my machine I get a User Control pop up asking for permission for Webroot to change the computer and it is in the system tray. Can anyone help me. 
 
I am running Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit OS.

Hi chembel
 
You should run the commandline option from a command prompt with elevated rights, i.e., right click on the Start button and from the context menu displayed select the Command Prompt (Admin) option, type the commandline in that window and press 'Enter'.
 
That should do the trick but if it does not then Open a Support Ticket and the Support Team will look into the issue for  you.

Thank you so much Baldrick!
