Safari users might see this image when booting up Safari:


This is a legitimate Webroot extension installation message, and you should go ahead and click Install to allow the extension to complete.

Hi @,
 
Are you installing Webroot on a Mac?
 
The Webroot Webfiltering is part of Webroot SecureAnywhere to protect you from malicious sites. Please look here,

I have a Mac and the Webshields are installed in Safari, Chrome and FF.
