A website I'm assured is OK has returned the "unsafe" message from Webroot with the following threat:
 
"Suspicious threat:"
 
Under what conditions is this threat message returned?  
 
How reliable is this message?
 
What could I expect by going there? 
 
What should the site do to get a passing grade from Webroot?
 
I would appreciatee some insights into this.  Is there a Webroot site that explains how site security evaluations works?
 
Thanks.

Daniel ;)
Just for clarification, how exactly is the BrightCloud reputation synched with WRSA?  I've had the same thing happen on occassion.  Get a "green light" from the filtering extension and one click later, WSA is right there blocking:
This website has been reported as unsafe.

Hi Jeff
 
That is a very good question that I cannot answer but perhaps @ would be able to shed some light on this specific case for us?
