I forgot to exit from Webroot for the installation of a program and nothing bad happened.  Fact, not even a burp happened. Is it necessary to exit from Webroot to install a program?  Only enough for an hypothesis, so next install I will not exit Webroot see what happens.  Leaving Webroot on would protect from malicious riders from installing along with the program I'm installing.
 
Is it dangerous to leave Webroot on during the installation of another program?

Welcome saintsatinstain!  I personally have never had to exit Webroot while installing apps/programs in the past.  Hopefully that answers your question.

I agree I never shut down WSA for any install even Window Updates!
