Hello,
 
Webroot is showing our site (cqcenterquest.org) as a phishing risk. I'm trying to ascertain why this is happening and what we can do to resolve it (as it is scaring away visitors). I know at one point our site had a link to another site that was seen as a risk (it was an innocent link, but the site we linked to was hacked and then we became guilty by association). We have since removed that link, but I'm not sure if that is why Webroot is seeing the site as a problem or if something else might be causing it.
 
Any guidance on resolving this would be extremely appreciated!

Hello there, welcome to the Webroot Community!
 
I think chances are you hit the problem exactly: that link you used to have that is a problem site most likely resulted in your site having a less than stellar rating.
 
Please submit a Trouble Ticket, make sure to notate it a "For the Brightcloud Team", and then provide the same details you have here.  Webroot will re-evaluate your site.
 
I hope this helps!
