ultrarunner2018 0 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hello; I have ESET Internet Security 15.0.21.0 installed on my Windows 10 (latest build) machine. I have turned on all features in the Internet Protection tab. This morning I received an e-mail in my Gmail inbox that was obviously a phishing attempt. I am using Firefox 96.0.1 x64 to access my Gmail account. Is there something I need to do in Firefox to enable phishing protection? Thanks for your help Ultrarunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,659 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Eset Anti-phishing protection is URL based as noted in this knowledge base article: https://support.eset.com/en/how-anti-phishing-works-in-your-eset-product . In regards to web based e-mail opened in a browser, it appears that only a known phishing web site which was physically accessed via opening an e-mail link would be blocked. mallard65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted January 17, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 17, 2022 As itman pointed out, you'd need to check if the url in the email is blocked when opened in a browser which we don't recommend to test on a production system for security reasons. In order to filter phishing and spam email, you'd need to use a supported email client, such as MS Outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
