I have a major annoying problem with webroot.

 

Netflix doesn't use Silverlight in internet explorer 11

 

Instead it uses HTML5

 

Problem is that whenever I try to watch netflix I get sound but no video. I just get a black screen.

 

I have done testing and realised it is webroot causing this.

 

If I disable webroot netflix works fine.

 

If I re-enable webroot then netflix stops working.

 

I don't want to be having to disable my anti-virus just to watch netflix so anyone know how to fix this without disabling webroot?

 

 
Hello ExpertNovice, you state here:



Hopefully, I'm not out-of-line here.



Win 7 pro 64 bit (not win 8.1)

IE 11

WSA 8.0.4.115

I have bee unable to run Neflix under Sandboxie.

Netflix settings set as Jasper_the_Rasper demonstrated.



My security settings are set fairly high for "internet" and higher than normal in "Trusted Sites." However, by adding "http://www.netflix.com" to "Trusted Sites" netflix works fine for me. Without this, it netflix wants to install Silverlight.





On rare occassions I must follow these instructions, per Support.

To clear some issues on a PC enter the following URL

netflix.com/clearcookies







Godspeed,

Jim
