Im just wondering if there's a complete Sudo or Terminal Commands that will remove all files from Webroot for MAC. I've been struggling for years that we always have to connect to support to remove the AV from our computers. No uninstallers or removal tool available. Why is that?

The support agents seem to run all commands, why is it not available on support websites for a guide to completely remove it and just always redirect for filing a ticket.

Hello heartlessheart69, Welcome to the Webroot Community Forum. ☺
Yes, Webroot does have Sudo Commands to completely remove Webroot from the Mac Computer. I don't know though if the sudo commands change for every Mac version. I don't want to give you the wrong information. It's best to submit a Support Ticket and they will send you the right sudo commands for your Mac. Make sure to tell them what version macOS you're running.

HTH,
Dave.

Just after I posted I also sent in a Support Ticket on sudo commands this is their response:

It looks like Webroot is not giving out Sudo commands on the Support Ticket anymore. You need to call them. Contact Webroot Support

@heartlessheart69 As far as I know it's always been the same:
code:
sudo /usr/local/bin/WSDaemon -u

Can't guarantee it removes every last file, but it should run the basic uninstall.

The basic uninstall leaves all these files behind. I believe to OP want all these files off of his computer.



I have the old list of Sudo Commands, but it's a few years old. Webroot may have changed the list. It is a long list and after they are applied there is no trace of Webroot on the computer.
