I have had notices in the past couple of weeks of blocked navigation to many sites that I know are safe. Most of these blocks are due to the reason:

 

We recommend that you don't continue to this website because it is reported to contain the following threats:

Phishing threat:This site might try to trick you into disclosing your login, password or other sensitive information by disguising itself as another website you may trust.

 

I have been going to the sites that I know and trust.

 

Today, when doing a Google search on this error, I found blocked navigation on two Webroot sites:

 

http://www.webroot.com/us/en/business/products/endpoint/operational-risk/independent-control

http://www.webroot.com/us/en/business/products/endpoint/management-complexity/self-remediation

 



Many of the sites I see the message for are for Wordpress sites.

 

Is there something going on that Webroot is being too cautious on? If you cry wolf too many times, the real threats can get through. This concerns me.

Please Submit A Support Ticket so that we can gather the necessary logs to see exactly what was being blocked. Obviously we should not be blocking our own URLs, and I just accessed the URLs provided with no issues.

 

When you see a block page there is a "Change Classification" button that you can use to submit a change request if you think a blocked site is safe.

I have done so, and I my system was overblocking. I have reinstalled Webroot Secureanywhere and we shall see if it works better for me.
