Hello WEBROOT COMMUNITY,
Webroot Toolbar module is given a very bad evaluation by Avast antivirus.
Avast gives the possibility of either suppress or de-activate this module, my questions are:
1) Why has Webroot Toolbar module been given a very bad evaluation ?
2) Should I suppress it  ?
Thank you for your help.

Hello @,
 
Unfortunately I cannot tell you why the Toolbar is being evaluated like that, only Avast would have that answer.
 
With that being said, the toolbar is not malicious in any way and it is advisable to use it to better secure your browsing.

I would inquire with Avast to ensure that their system is up to date and not providing you with a false positive.

Best Regards,
