Hello,
 
I am developing Microsoft SharePoint solutions using SharePoint Client-side APIs.. After updating the Webroot,  I am unable to use some api calls with POST methods on Google Chrome since the requests are not sent to the server. It took me several hours to identify the source of the problem, the Webroot Antivirus. I played with some settings and I disabled "Web Filtering Driver Enabled" option. Then, luckily everything works again. This issue occured with the latest Webroot update (9.0.8.80). 
 
I hope Webroot fixes it and I can keep the Web Filtering Driver enabled...

Good Morning ismet, and welcome to the Community. Do you have SharePoint listed as a protected application in Webroot under (Identity Protection/Protected Applications)???
