  1. Thanks for the guide, cyberhash, it worked and I can access the page now - it stills gives me the "threat found" notification, but I can access the page :-)
  2. No problem :-) Thanks for the guide, will try when I am back home. Thanks to everyone!
  3. Hi all, thanks for all the answers so far. I doubt that they will change the r-project.org site for something that looks like an "ESET Smart Security" issue. So based on what cyberhash wrote the only reasonable option for me seems to be to set the firewall to interactive mode. Or did I miss any further options? Do you also think it can be considered a false positive and how should ESET be notified about it?
  4. Ah. No :-( I see a blank page with only a red rectangle in the middle of the screen, which is generated by ESET, saying what I wrote in my inital post., i.e., connection terminated, access denied, etc., and which threat was detected (" JS/Redirector.NAV Trojan"). See attached screenshot. Furthermore, it is blocked not only for the browser but also for other programs. There is a repository for R, CRAN, accessible via cran.r-project.org, from which e.g. the R console and the R IDE "RStudio" can install new packages. These programs cannot access the repository as well. Concluding, I can not visit the site and I cannot access the package repository. I wonder why it doesn't work on my PCs (2 systems, both having Smart Security 9 installed) but works on other systems (e.g. your system). Greetings and thanks.
  5. Hello, when trying to open r-project.org (the site of a large open source project on statistical computing), ESET Smart Security 9 denies access and terminates the connection (Reason: JS Redirector NAV Trojan). This happens in Firefox and IE (I do not use Chrome). Since this is a very well known domain accessed by probably millions everyday I suspect that this is a false positive. A web search did not gain any helpful insight either, neither on the problem as such nor on this specific domain being infected. However, I have not found a possibility to unblock this domain on my own risk. How is this possible, and do you maybe have additional information on this specific domain? Thanks in advance!
