While browsing in the website “The Conservative Treehouse” I repeatedly keep getting pop-up warnings, supposedly from Webroot, that it has blocked the following website as a suspected phishing site: “safebytetech.live”. Can anyone advise about this?

      Hi ​@joeg 

       

      I Google’d that site and can visit it just fine with multiple protections in place from OpenText. The site itself is fine. There might be a component or a link on that site that, if you clicked, could be malicious.

      safebytetech.live domain IS indeed a phishing domain and is listed on multiple Threat Intelligence sources. 

      I would ensure that you also have a good pop up blocker like ublock origin lite installed on your browsers as an extension alongside your Webroot/OpenText products.


      You can also reach out to support if you have other questions. 


      Cheers

        Hello  jhartnerd123

        Thank you very much for your reply and your suggestions. Can I get unblock origin lite from the Windows store?

        Thanks again

            ​@joeg 

             

            You can search for ublock origin lite (NOT unblock origin) from the extensions stores in Chrome/Edge etc…
