Windows 10: Trying to uninstall an app that's already been uninstalled

I deleted/uninstalled Webroot SecureAnywhere months ago, once my free trial ended. I downloaded a new app for checking for viruses on my laptop around the same time. But the Webroot is still "installed" on my laptop and every time I try to uninstall it, it takes me to the programs and features area to uninstall it but it's not there. I'm so frustrated on trying to get rid of this app. It's still popping up. And telling me, my computer is unprotected. Help me, please.

:)

 

reinstall apps

If a user clicks on a Start Menu tile Uninstall, believing that it just removes the app from the Start Menu, it actually removes the app partly from the computer. If you try to re-install it, it says it cannot do that since it is already installed, and
if you try to uninstall it again, it says it has already been uninstalled. So they are stuck in this condition. The only way to totally remove it is to format the hard disk and then reinstall windows. The bug is that it should completely remove the app,
or else prevent people from accidently uninstalling it.

 

Windows Update. We couldn't uninstall these apps

I am trying to update my Windows 10 to version 1703 and I needed to uninstall an app but the problem is that I already uninstalled that app a long time ago but it's still saying I have to uninstall it. I can't update my windows because I can't uninstall
an app I already uninstalled.

 

Hi, I've found you a manual uninstall/cleanup tool here (2nd para):
Webroot 2015 Download Coupons (Save upto 63%)

I found this older article with a link to contact Webroot staff:
Installation Support

You could submit a ticket on Webroot's site if further problems.

Most AVs have a cleanup or removal tool.

 

Thank you so much! The first one worked!

 

Another trick is to install the offending program again then uninstall it. This may reset the registry settings needed to uninstall the program.

 

Glad it was useful. Many programs don't fully clean up. Options include monitoring installations (e.g. Revo uninstaller pro); uninstalling using a program that then scans for leftovers (Revo free, Geek uninstaller (free)- which I often use)
