I uninstalled Webroot from Windows 8 64 bit, using the recommended deactivate/reboot method.  After uninstall and another reboot, going into IE10/Manage Add Ons, all three instances of Webroot, Webroot Vault, Webroot toolbar still remain.  How do I get a clean uninstall of Weboot and it's toolbars?

@ - Roy, if CCleaner will work in cases that for some reason the toolbars are being stubborn, in your opinion is that worth adding to the Software Removal Tools thread I have going?

Your welcome, I'll await a further reply upon implementation.
Has this been corrected for Windows 8.1, IE 11?

Hello Reldel, 
 
I do not think it has been corrected.  The Webroot Toolbar is technically a separate install/download from the WSA software, as it is a browser add-on (Extension in the case of Chrome...)  The last time I uninstalled WSA the browser add-ons remained, and needed to be manually removed from within the browser manage add-ons area.
