Why does webroot detect WFilter as malware?

I have WFilter installed to control network activity but Webroot sees it as malware and quarantined it.  I marked it as good and had webroot bring the files back but I had to reinstall to get it to work again.  As far as I know, this is not malware.

This is getting old quickly.  I have marked the files as good and saved them, but webroot keeps finding them and killing them.

Sounds like it may be marked as System Monitor software? Either way run our log gathering utility on a machine that has seen the software then please PM me and let me know the email you used when running the utility and I'll see what the problem is:
