Hello. I am not familiar with Webroot products, one way to eliminate what you need is:
1. Create a system restore point.
2. As an administrator, run services.msc.
3. Search for services related to Webroot. Stop it and disabled.
4. Inside volume C: search within the following routes:
C: \ Program Files C: \ Program Files \ Common Files
C: \ Program Files (x86) C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Common Files
C: \ ProgramData <--- this is a hidden folder.

Restart your system.

Due to Webroot Tester In MH , I suggest you to restore your system before you uninstall Webroot, Remove it normally :)
there is no tools or any software for remove it, just need it by SAFE Mode ...
