Before excluding a website

Excluding a website poses a security risk. An experienced system administrator can configure this or, if instructed by ESET Technical Support.

Best practices:

  • Exclude a website for a specific period only.
  • Do not exclude websites where you provide sensitive information (such as banking websites).
  • Do not disable real-time file system protection while downloading and running files from excluded websites.
  • Report miscategorization if you think ESET should not block a specific website.
