I just booted up my computer and, upon typing my Windows password and loading to my desktop, was greeted by a couple of pop-ups from Webroot requesting authorization for startup programs that I had already authorized a couple of months ago.
I got suspicious and checked my Control Panel, and noticed that Webroot now shows itself as having just been installed yesterday.
Is this... normal? Should I be concerned?
Solved
Why did my Webroot re-install itself?

I'm assuming you had WSA already installed and there was a new program update rolled out on August18th and it takes a few days for everyone to get it and was requesting re-authorization please see https:///t5/Release-Notes/PC-Release-Notes-Version-8-0-1-229/m-p/9458#M39.
