Strange Banking and Payment Protection Behavior

[itman 1,924]

For the life of me, I have no clue why this web site would auto open in Eset Banking and Payment Protection mode: https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/index.htm ?

Not only is it not banking or financial related, it also has an EV certificate.

Hello @itman,

it does not open in the secured browser for me now to my colleague, does the issue persist right now?

Hi @itman,

You can add the website to the list of normal browsers, that would stop it from opening in a secured browser.

I can't recreate this issue either so might be a setting that you have enabled or disabled?

You probably know more than me, just trying to help!

I-Clk'd your Link - & -  I DID get the ESET Redirect page asking me to define HOW I wanted to Open the site now and later.

I wonder if one day while multi-tasking you absent-mindedly chk'd "Protected" when the Define popup appeared and just don't remember it.

In Home/ Setup/ Security/ Bank-Pmt Protect - Settings module --  I presume you'll mark Normal Browser IF chk'd "Protected" now.

FYI - below is a screen shot of Eset's default setting for displaying of web sites under B&BP browser. As such, I still consider opening of this web site under B&BP a bug.

Also, the site is not defined in my custom list of web sites to be processes under B&BP.

Yes, it still occurs using IE11 on Win10 1803 with Eset IS 11.2.63.

Note that it does not occur on select other sub-domains of consumerreports.org such as:  https://www.consumerreports.org/member-services/ . Very strange behavior indeed.

Yes it is happening for me also, running Firefox 62.0, Win 7 SP1, and Eset IS 11.2.49.0

What I've noticed is every Consumer Reports address that has a "/cro" in it, does it,  and all of these do it for me:

https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/about-us/what-we-do/index.htm

https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/modal-login/index.htm

https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/index.htm

https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2014/06/date-of-report/index.htm

https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/a-to-z-index/cars/index.htm

But this other login address does not do it:

https://secure.consumerreports.org/ec/login

Yes. I came to the same conclusion. It appears to me Eset has added the site as, https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/* to Eset's internal web site list.
