SeriousHoax 87 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) The upcoming Eset version 12.2.23.0 changed the alert page in browser while detecting phishing and malicious page. But this new window lacks details and options compared to the current one. No way to ignore, go back and report as false positive from the window. Having those options like the current one would be better (I use a dark theme extension that's why the theme is dark).

itman 1,752 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Someone in another forum posting using 12.2.23 posted a screen shot showing all the previous Eset ver. options still exist: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,281 Posted July 13, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 13, 2019 Yes, I still have it there too: The page with the alert "Website blocked" was not a phishing page but most likely a malicious one which was added by ESET on the blacklist. For such websites we didn't offer the option to report them in older versions either. SeriousHoax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeriousHoax 87 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Weird. What could be the reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also refer to this Eset knowledge base article: http://support.eset.com/kb117/ under the "Unwanted Software" section. Display of user action options are dependent upon the type of threat discovered and will not be given for known malicious web site activity. Additionally, user "Cleaning Level" setting for Web Access realtime protection ThreatSense engine is a factor. If the "Strict" cleaning mode is employed, the Eset detection will be automatically handled without any user interaction.

Administrators Marcos 5,281 Posted July 13, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 13, 2019 As I wrote, the blocked page was not a phishing page, hence it was blocked without the option to report it. The behavior was same with older versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the two sceenshots I posted above were taken from the same page but the older one had that option. Anyway, now you may close the topic.

Purpleroses 21 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Got a question. Instead of typing in youtube I typed yotube instead. So I get Potentially unwanted content found. Before I would get a pop notification on my desktop saying site was blocked. But now with version 12.2.23.0 I don't get the pop up notification I just get the alert in the browser? Do I need to turn something on to get the pop notification on desktop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,752 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Below is a screenshot of what I get on attempted access to that web site. Note that this is a blacklist detection. Also this alert type does appear to be new and does give the user the option to ignore it. I believe the desktop popup alert you are referring to is when a web site is hosting known malicious content. In this instance, the connection would be unconditionally blocked. So the answer to your question is no, there is nothing wrong with your Eset settings. Edited July 22, 2019 by itman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,752 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Looks like Eset has changed the alert format across the board; most likely for display consistency purposes. When a threat is detected, a popup will also briefly appear. In this case showing the threat was removed by Web Access protection Edited July 22, 2019 by itman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,281 Posted July 23, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 23, 2019 Nothing has changed in this regard. Here's how it's blocked with older versions: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
