[KB2771] Disable the Antispam feature in ESET Windows home products

Solution

Disabling anti-phishing will reduce your computer's protection

We do not recommend that you disable anti-phishing. Doing so will reduce your computer's protection level.

If you disable anti-phishing, your ESET product will display an orange status indicating a limited protection level. Re-enable anti-phishing as soon as possible.

  1. Open the main program window of your ESET Windows product.

  2. Click Setup → Internet protection.
