novice 20 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Just tested ESET against Eicar. The Pop-Up warning says , on reputation, "Discovered 5 days ago" And as options: Block access? But the possible buttons are : Disconnect and Ignore So, how come is "Discovered 5 days ago" and if I am asked "Block" why the option is "Disconnect" and not "Block" or "Ignore" Edited August 19, 2019 by novice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,406 Posted August 19, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 19, 2019 Since you're downloading a file via http, disconnect means to terminate the connection to prevent the file from being downloaded and saved to a disk.

novice 20 Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 I understand that " disconnect means to terminate the connection " but my questions were: 1.Why Eicar has a reputation of only 5 days when should be 10 years or more? 2.If the question is "Block access?" why the option offered are "Disconnect" and "Ignore Threat"?? Shouldn't rather be "Block" and "Allow"???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,406 Posted August 20, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 20, 2019 It's just wording. Historically we've used "Disconnect" there since v2. If a connection to a malicious website has been established, technically "disconnect" or "terminate connection" better describes what happens when the user clicks the button. Of course, the wording can be subject to discussion, however, nobody has had any objections in the last 17 years. As for the age, it refers to the process, ie iexplore.exe which has been recently updated on your machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
