- "Access denied" message when attempting to view a website
Solution
Your ESET product may, for security reasons, automatically prevent your browser from accessing specific websites or even domains. This is due to the risks related to traffic originating from these websites/domains. The risk assessment is based on several criteria. The most important parameter in evaluating the potential risk is the amount of malicious traffic originating from a specific website/domain.
If a website has been blocked by your ESET product, one of the following warnings will be displayed in your browser window (depending on what version you have installed):
