Android screen lock keeps disabling itself

I have a droid turbo that I got 3 months ago. I've been using the pattern screen lock all this time but suddenly in the past few days the screen lock just disables itself. I go to unlock the phone and I swipe the screen up and when the pattern should appear it doesn't it just goes to my home screen. I am running Webroot for antivirus security and it warns me that I don't have a secure lock on my phone. I reset the the pattern lock and then the next day it undoes itself again. Anyone else experiencing this?

Dbaxfan,
I like to keep my phone locked fo rmy own piece of mind, so not having a screen lock that is working properly would throw me off as well. Let’s find out what might be going on here. When did you download your anti-virus software? Did you notice anything change on your phone when this issue began (any new apps, new software, etc)? Keep us posted.

I downloaded the anti-virus program more than a month ago and this issue just started 3 days ago. I haven't added any other apps recently.

My phone has been doing the same thing. I used the pin lock and a few days ago it started switching off on its own. I switched to password lock and it did the same thing. It would switch over to swipe on its own. I using the pattern lock and it hasn't yet switched to swipe. It's been stable for about two days. A poster on an Android forum thought it might be a ROM issue since there were other people being affected as well.
