Hello pdxorhankster
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
When a site is being blocked you should see the options "Unblock page and continue", "Change classification" and "Get me out of here" as described here: http://live.webrootanywhere.com/content/1367/Managing-Web-Threats
You may also like to look up the site at: http://www.brightcloud.com/tools/url-ip-lookup.php
Or request a change here: http://www.brightcloud.com/tools/change-request-url-reputation.php
Hope this helps?

Hi pdxohankster
Welcome to the Community Forums.
If I may just precise/add at this point...if you 'Unblock & continue' the site is whitelisted locally so that the next time you visit it you should not be blocked again, AND notification of the override is sent to the Threat Researchers sot hat they can investigate the override/adjust the determination in the Cloud, etc.
Hope that helps?
