webroot hang - scan fails - no uninstall prompt

The uninstall prompt does not come up after dumping the Webroot icon into trash.

Hello wspenceris,
 
Please go to the Launchpad and open up Other/Disk Utility and Verify Permissions. This will take some time so be patient and when it's done verifying  Permissions. Click Repair. Sometimes this will fix Webroot.
 

 
Let me know  if this fixes Webroot.
