    ESET will scan all pages that you try to access and will block the page if it finds any code that may be malicious or dangerous to you. If you feel that there's a false positive, you can always submit it to ESET's labs for analysis:

    kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN141&ref=wsf

    In the meantime, if you truly trust the content of the website and are either sure that the website is safe or are willing to take the risk, check out this KB Article to whitelist the site:

    kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2844&ref=wsf

    Skip step 4 or you will ONLY be able to access those websites you add to the whitelist and none others.

    If this still won't help, you may want to simply uninstall/reinstall the program:

    kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2788&ref=wsf

    subject:False Positive: Blocked webpage

    message:
    Hello,

    I am currently facing a problem with ESET when it blocks a probably clean website.
    It shows me this message :
    Access to the web page was blocked by ESET Smart Security. The web page is on the list of websites with potentially dangerous contents.
    I scanned it with other AVs and do detection was found.
    The website url is : university.arabsbook.com


    Looking forward to fix this problem
    Thank you.

    To my best knowledge, there's actually malware on that site so it's not clean.
