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
