Bad site, no warning from WSA!

That first item is a link to a site where your computer stars beeping claiming to be from MS warning of an intrusion on your PC with a number to call.  You can’t close, all you can do is a Crl/Alt Del and kill it. WebRoot, why doesn’t this site have a red warning on it???

It popped up again with a search so I copied it, tried it verify it again and submitted it.  It was given a score of 81 with a green check mark!  Seriously?
 
If anyone cares to try it themselves, here it is: ~snip Removed bad link and I have reported it to Webroot snip~

Well, just tried the link that you just posted and...absolutely no problem accessing the site/no sign of any warning or impediment to access.
 
Not really sure what is the matter other than I suspect that it is related to something with your specific system and/or configuration.
 
I would advise Opening a Support Ticket, as the best way to get to the bottoim of what is causing this.
 
Regards, Baldrick

Good, I submitted a support ticket on it.
 
Did one of guys remove my link posted above to keep others from trying it?  Which is good, just asking.

Not for me!  Is there a way to force WRSA to update?
 
I found it, shows me current v9.0.15.40
 
Ah!  Now it blocked it.

and AdBlocker blocks user from seeing Ad in search results. 
Why not filter out dangerous anyway you can?
Just me.

I added the AdBlocker extension but it still showed up.  I wouldn't think it needs a reboot.  It's gone now but that's normal as it doesn't show up on every search for some reason.

FWIW ~ Adguard AdBlocker browser extension with four Adguard filters.   Firefox 52.0.1
