Starting today this forum is blocked by Web Root antivirus at my place of work owing to 'malicious content', no other details given :(
Posting this from my phone.

After I retired, I consulted at a bank and it didn't take much to block a site. It blocked most everything from youtube to news sites if the titles contained certain string values. IT also had a verification process on certificates.
The worst part was that your manager had a list of sites you tried to go to and got blocked. I had programmers reporting to me that needed access so it was easy to release a site as I had high clearance. I would not want and try and surf as a clerk.
Check with IT as to why. It might be easy to fix.

Ironically I am actually the Head of IT and do have control over "content filters" but I'd never tamper with the approval settings of antivirus software when I can't guarantee that a third-party website ISN'T malicious. I wish this software (WebRoot) would give me a report on this website so I can test it further and possibly report it as a false-positive to the vendors but until then I'll stick to using it on my phone or at home.
