Re: Uninstall problem - Webroot

I don't need Webroot anymore, now that I have Norton for both
antivirus and spyware; besides, my Webroot contract has expired.

But webroot gets in the way, particularly on startup, and when I
attempt to uninstall it by any means, a warning box comes up
stating that C\Program Files\Webroot\Webroot Security\unins001.msg
is missint, and I can't find that file by searching my entire hard
drive nor by searching backup files.

Webroot website previously has been singularly uncooperative. What
do I do now?

Not a Microsoft Windows XP Security Admin issue, really.
(BTW - welcome to the "microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin"
newsgroup...)

Tried searching for help?

Now is a great time to point you to one of the easiest ways to find
information on problems you may be having and solutions others have found:

Search using Google!

(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

Example, given your problem description...
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+remove+webroot+manually

Seems maybe the WebRoot SpySweeper Removal Tool might be the way to go...
