I have the exact issue described in this post: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Complete/Block-Allow-Files/m-p/279102
However in that thread, though marked "Solved", the OP never came back to confirm a solution.
In short, when I add a file to the Allow/Block list, I browse to the file, select it, hit Okay, and when it's listed in the Block/Allow list, it's shown with a different location, a temp folder under AppData, not the location where I chose the file. I have not been able to get the file listed with the correct location.
And the file is not allowed to run even when it's listed in the Block/Allow list with the incorrect location. If WebRoot Protection is turned off, however, the program runs successfully.
Any Suggestions?
Solved

Only this afternoon did I get an opportunity to remove and re-install WebRoot. After uninstalling, I was careful to remove remaining WebRoot folders from Common Files under Program Files and Program Files (x86), and then reboot the computer before re-installing. And this did resolve the problem. The location of the application is now correctly shown when added to the Whitelist. Thanks.

I don't know if I agree or not, the OP never responded in the other thread. In the absence of any other suggestions I'll be removing and re-installing to see if it works.
