Hi there,
I have a little bit of an unusual problem - I think!
I was given a link to a customers website (I'm a freelance copywriter) to get some information I needed for a project.
When I tried to follow the link I got the Webroot Block Page - with a malicious content warning. Unfortunately I had to unblock the site because the customer is not responding to my requests for alternative sources of information. Anyways - long story short I can now access this site without any problems or warnings popping up.
But now that I'm done with the site I want to block access to it again. My previous antivirus allowed me to 'undo' an unblock but I can't find anywhere to do that in Webroot. I could also easily add a site to my 'blocked' list using a radio button and view a list of blocked sites I had tried to access.
Where do I do this with WebRoot? (Complete - version 9.0.6.14)
And please note that I got a WebRoot warning - not a Google or Windows warning, so logically I should be able to turn the blocking for that site back on through WebRoot. At least, that's my understanding of what I need to do.
I have searched the forums but it seems that my circumstances are unique, although it may be that I think their solution doesn't apply to my problem.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help - if they can help!

Hello ?
Welcome to the Webroot Community.
You will need to remove the site from your whitelist.
First navigate to C:ProgramDataWRDatawrUrl
(You may need to "Enable" show hidden files/folders/drives to see this folder)
There you will find the WSA whitelist. Remove the site in question and save list.
Reboot your computer (or restart WSA) and website will now be blocked again.
Hope this info helps, please let us know. :)

Hi Silvering
Welcome to the Community Forums.
If I may just add to what BD has posted...you may also require Admin rights to be able to make the change to the contents of the file in which case you should open the Notepad with 'Run as Administrator' and then navigate, from within Notepad, to the file that BD has highlighted.
