After dealing with a number of issues, including a full network installation that was attacked by a virus, I can conclude that Webroot is overhyped, infective and as aggressive as the spyware it is supposed to protect us from.
It is impossible to uninstall, even with its own cleanup tool. It will continue to resurrect itself just like the typical spyware or trojan and prevents the proper installation of real AV software, such as Symantec, McAfee, etc.
I fully recommend to anyone to never install their product. Perhaps they have something special in store for all of the unsuspecting users in the near future.

As of 2013, Spy Sweeper has been discontinued and replaced with Webroot SecureAnywhere. No protection definitions are provided for SpySweeper anymore and it should not be used.
If you do not have sufficient anti virus / spyware software then you most likely have a virus.
Clarify with what antivirus you have installed if any...
If you don't have any then I would suggest buying one of the following
Bit Defender Internet Security or Antivirus Pro

Webroot Internet Security or Antivirus with spysweeper
http://www.webroot.com/En_US/consumer.html
or
Kaspersky Internet Security
http://usa.kaspersky.com/store/all-products?c_id=GOO1673628
Once installed make sure to update the software and run a full scan
If you are unable to update the software
Reboot the computer and press F8 until you get a menu
Select "Safemode with networking"
You should now be able to update the software and run a full scan
due to some virus/spyware attack some of the system files might have got corrupted which are needed for the successful operation ...
even though some people will say that the virus will not infect to vista .. but infact the common small viruses will not infect normally but the spyware/malwares will attack and some other virus which are not little they will attack to vista ..
so i suggest to install some good update antivirus and scan your system and fix all of them ...
after fixing if you still persist the same problem then you must reintall the vista this will solve your problem ..
if your computer is totally unresponsive then go to the "safe mode"(by press F8 key at the system startup) then scan your system and if needed reinstall it ...
thank you any queries you can contact me rate my solution
