Hello there, welcome to the Community!
webrootanywhere.com IS a legit domain, and it is the correct one for the Console. Just a note about the listed owner, Prevx. That is a company that was purchased by Webroot, and the scanning technology at the core of WSA. It is quite OK.
I am really not sure about service-webroot.com however. I do not recognize the owner, so I would be much more hestitant to trust emails from this domain unless someone can provide more information.
@ Are you familiar with the service-webroot domain?

+56Well after a little digging it's not a legit Webroot Domain and not Trustworthy so I would stay away!
