Hello @caabear131,

 

What you’re describing sounds like a Screen Locker/Fake Alert. These are usually completely browser based and not due to any sort of infection. You can get rid of it by launching Task Manager (Alt+Ctrl+Del - Task Manager) and then right clicking on the browser process to end it. If that is out of your comfort zone or you still have concerns, Submit a Support Ticket and we can check things over and get the site added to our blacklist.

Hello @caabear131 

I believe the best thing to do is send in a Support Ticket. When you send in a Support Ticket a Webroot Log automatically goes to Webroot. They will be able to look over the log and figure out what is happening on your computer.

Please submit a  Support Ticket  or  Contact Webroot Support  to sort this problem. This service is FREE with a Paid Subscription.

Support Ticket System is Open 24/7

 

Note: When submitting a Support Ticket, Please wait for a response from Support. Putting in another Support Ticket on this problem before Support responses will put your first Support Ticket at the end of the queue.

 

HTH,

Dave.

I also agree with that !
Trust it or not, that introduction was on the NATO interior system for over 10 years.
