When you get the Active x message there should be a drop-down bar that asks you if you want to install the component. You should allow it.
If you disconnect from the Internet by removing the cable, you can safely disable Webroot to see if the pc starts ok.
To see if there is anything else lurking, you can do an on-line scan.
