tangoeset 0 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Starting from tonight Eset has started to show a popup each time I open Reddit.com, be it the homepage, a sub topic, anywhere on the website. I've been using Eset for years and this is the first time such a high profile website is being flagged. I closed the web browser (Firefox) and reopened Reddit, the same notification appears, and does so after each time the page is refreshed. I didn't want to whitelist Reddit as it is a website that holds user content. The notification can be seen in the screenshot below. I'm using Eset smart security 12.1.31.0, up to date. Browser - Firefox 66.0.2 Its annoying more than anything seeing a popup and hearing the notification sound each time I navigate a new page at Reddit. Thanks in advance for your help.

tangoeset 0 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 An update. It appears to have stopped showing a notification. If your team works that fast then kudos to you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,716 Posted April 8, 2019 Administrators Share Posted April 8, 2019 It appears that it was an ad provider's address that was blocked. We didn't do anything in the mean time. tangoeset 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hieigodsend 0 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 This has been happening to me since last year (i think). I thought it will be gone after weeks, but alas, at least 5 months now and my antivirus still gives me a pop-up like that every load of Reddit. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
