    Are there any alternative ideas?  Anyone find a solution for getting Webroot to allow downloading Adobe Reader?

    Thank you for the alert. Is it safe to download the Adobe Reader?  If so, how do I get passed the "virus scanned fail"?

    If you download from the links I posted there should be no issues.
