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.
