Hey aodie,

 

Welcome to the Webroot Community forums. Sorry to hear you're having a bit of an issue uninstalling the free app from your mobile device-I'll gladly help you out!

 

There are two ways to go about this. The first (and easier way) is to uninstall directly from the app itself. To do this, open the Webroot app, tap your Android menu button (varies device to device), and then tap the "Uninstall" icon. The app will then prompt you to enter your "My Webroot" account password. Enter it and tap "OK".  If the aforementioned method isn't working for whatever reason, the second way to do this is to deactivate the Device Administrator. To do this, go to your device's "Settings", tap "Security" (varies device-to-device), tap "Device Administrators", uncheck the box, tap "Deactivate", tap "OK" when it asks if you're sure you want to disable it. Afterwards, you can open Google Play, go to the SecureAnywhere app and tap "Uninstall" as you would with an app not using Device Administrator.  Hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions!
