Webroot gave me a message that a site I was on was a potnetial problem.  I pressed "allow" instead of leve.  Where do I find the list of sites that are allowed so I can delete it?  I do not see this anywhere.  Thank you .

I think
C:ProgramDataWRDatawrURL
whitelist.txt
 
You may not see this folder, you'll have to paste it into the folder path along the top of a file browser window.

Hello trescere and welcome to the Webroot Community.
 
Whitelisted sites are stored in file WhiteList.txt in directory c:ProgramDataWRDatawrUrl 
 
If you want a site remove from the list, just move this file from this folder to elsewhere on your HD and delete an entry, then save the file and copy it back or shut down WSA and make changes in the file directly. However don't forget to start WSA up then.

Don't make illusions, I am lazy too but thought that it needs to be elaborated to give him a full picture about removing whitelisted websites.
 
I should also add that Webroot conceded to remake it to be more convenient, probably within WSA GUI.

For c:ProgramDataWRDatawrUrl   I can not find "wrUrl"  This program should have a way within it to simply review sites I have included and excluded with an edit option.

It does simply mean that you didn't receive the new web shield yet.

This is certainly something which deserves a GUI support!
Controlling the whitelist is important, manually editing WhiteList.txt, which is locked by WSA, it's quite cumbersome.
Isn't it?
