Hello samual914. 
 
Businessinsider.com is showing green for me, but I notce you've written buis not busi therefore, are you entering it correctly? Beware of typosquatting for wrongly spelt sites.
 
Ah sorry I see the rating for the .in site now. It's showing that it's pretty newly established?
 
What other sites are questionable in ratings for you?
 
You can check sites here http://www.brightcloud.com/tools/url-ip-lookup.php
 
And there also is the option to submit a  Webroot - URL Reputation Change Request

This doesn't look too bad however?

Yes, I gave you the Webroot - URL Reputation Change Request
 
That is the option available regarding the reputation rating. 
 
Also, FYI I'm not seeing your images yet, as you don't have the permissions yet, and they require approval from a moderator to show.

Thank you, please see my edit re the .in site.
 
Indeed, if you are having many FPs for the Indian sites that you are sure are risk-free, then you can contact Webroot about the matter. They'll most likely pick this up anyway.

You could try disabling the Web Filtering Extension in the browser if you are seeing long recurring slow downs, and see if it resolves the slowdown, but if it's just for a short time "after webroot is being installed" depends how bad it is etc.
 
Any particular browser you're referring to?
 
Glad to hear you enjoy running SecureAnywhere, it's usually very light for vast majority with no slowdowns, but no software is perfect in absolutely all installations, and sometimes a little investigation etc is needed.

On this one, samual914. I would Open a Support Ticket to advise the Support Team of this as it is not nromal and I am most certainly NOT seeing any YouTube-related slowdown or degredation of the videos being run.
