I don't seem to be able to download anything or should I say it get deleted as soon as it is downloaded
Are you talking about downloading Webroot, or just downloading anything in general?
Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!

 

Can you post the link to whatever your trying to download?

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel 😉
my down loads are being deleted or moved... how can I tell if the virus protection is causing this
anything in general
What happens when you try to download?  
it seems to be any thing I try to down load... one was incredimail and another one was Libre-Office
I hit the down load button, the box at the bottom of the screen ask me if I want to run or save it... it does no matter which one I choose, the next message is that the file has been moved or deleted.  this time i got a threat warning from Webroot... Pua.Gen and then it looked lilke it was showing the address for the down load... i recognized that Libre-office was in it.
Give us a couple of the links you are using, so we can make sure they are legit.
could it be a setting in webroot?  Getting a hold of their tech support is not easy task

Try to download these for a test! I will check the other 2 as it seams they have PUA's in them: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Techie-KB/How-to-Remove-Potentially-Unwanted-Applications/ta-p/40744

I think the download-assist.com site is what is causing the problem.  They look like one of those shady sites that takes free downloads and bundles in adware or malware.  Try this link instead for LibreOffice:
