Recently, it seems almost every new page I go to, Webroot pops up the "Webroot Blocked Navigation" screen with the following text:

"Phishing threat:

This site might try to trick you into disclosing your login, password or other sensitive information by disguising itself as another website you may trust."
 
 
What gives?  The pages I am accessing are normal every day shopping sites like Patagonia, Jansport, The-House.com and even Jeep.com.
 
Do I need to find another AV program now?  I'm not liking all the BS I have to go through.

Hello Gold89, and Welcome to the Webroot Community.
 
Sorry to hear about the problems you're seeing. Is it happening with different browsers, or just one?
When the block occurs, if you are sure the site is safe, you can click to "Unblock and continue", and you may proceed, albeit with that inconvenience.
Has this just started happening, and was ok before, or have you newly installed (or updated) Webroot.
 
You may like to submit a request for Support or URL rep change also, who'll be happy to help.
 
Please let us know if you have questions, or further info. Thanks.
