Hello hockeynut, welcome to the Community!
 
Links in emails are sometimes blocked for a variety of reasons.  Most of the time, such links are what are called 're-directs': what this means is that your browser is often not directed STRAIGHT to your destination, there are a few hops along the way for tracking and/or adding ads.  It may be these hops along the way or the added ads that are causing the problem.
 
Please submit a Trouble Ticket to have Webroot Support take a look.  This is a free service with your valid WSA license, and they may be able to help you fix this.
