Phishing alert for a website accessed on Windows 8 but not for the same website on an iMac! Why?

The website http://www.earwaxclinic.co.uk/ triggers a phishing warning on my wife's Windows 8 laptop. Strangely, however, there is no such warning when visiting the same site on my iMac (OSX 10.10.3). Both machines use Webroot Secure Anywhere under the same keycode.
Is there a simple explanation for this?

Hello @,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community!
 
It appears that Website is a trusted site in our system so it is likely that this is a miscommunication on behalf of Webroot.
 
I would advise uninstalling and reinstalling the application and then checking to see if the issue happens again afterwards.
 
You can also contact our support team at https://detail.webrootanywhere.com/servicewelcome.asp  and they would be happy to do this for you and test to make sure everything is working properly.
 
Best Regards,
