Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!
 
It sounds like what we call on the Community  PUA's please have a look here to see if you can remove them yourself: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Techie-KB/How-to-Remove-Potentially-Unwanted-Applications/ta-p/40744 and if in the end some are still there please Submit a Support Ticket and they will help you remove the rest free of charge. Also look for a good free Adblocker for your Browsers that will help out allot as well, I'm using this one for Firefox and Google Chrome and it works well: https://www.eff.org/privacybadger but other members might have some other suggestions.
