Until Webroot resolves the problem, WebLink is unable to bypass the situation and make WebLink Connect open as normal. If you are a Webroot customer and must open WebLink Connect, your only course of action would be to use the www.weblinklogin.com browser access, or to disable Webroot and replace it with another, well-known and reputable anti-virus software, such as Windows Defender. WebLink International DOES NOT RECOMMEND operating your computer without an active anti-virus software installed and running.
