2. On the Local Disk (C: then Program Files then Webroot then WRSA.
When I try to Delete the Program Folder: Webroot - The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program. Close the folder and try again. Try Again | Cancel
When I try to Delete the WRSA Application (.exe) "file inside" the Webroot folder - File In Use - The action can't be completed because the file is open in Webroot SecureAnywhere - Close the file and try again. - WRSA - File description,,,Size: 716KB Try Again | Cancel
