ESET Smart security - Web page - Access denied

[dreams]

Hi all..

I use ESET smart security and from yesterday I get the above error message when accessing a specific website. I googled and followed the steps to exclude the web address and also create a specific rule. But nothin worked.

Did anybody experience the same???

When I disable AntiVirus and AntiSpyware the website works.

Any ideas??

A few known harmful websites are blocked by ESET. It might be one of those. Check the advanced settings in ESET.

Eset has gone beyond its duty, it has block some harmless forum also .Anybody has the right to surf any websites.I am using Site Advisor and i rarely dared to go a red mark web but if i wanted i can go there.But in this case Eset simply blocked access to even some harmless forum.This is bad.

Dont use Eset or you can try this, in the exclude website list type *the name of the website*.Post whether it works or not.

I hv mentioned tht i hv already tried it..if i add the site address i.e., for ex. www.thinkdigit.com. the home page loads..If I click on forum in that page then www.thinkdigit.com/forum gets blocked.

Something is not workin properly.
