Malicious Website Protection Annoying Popups

[legaldeejay]

OK, so  new version 2.0.1.1004 does not have the option to disable the popups advising of malicious websites.  You can only either enable or disable the protection.   Please add this feature soon as the popups are getting unbearable.

Are you referring to when you are browsing, or using other apps?

[legaldeejay]

Yes, when browsing.   Under the old version, you could disable showing notifications while keeping the protection enabled.

If you are getting a lot of popup notifications while browsing, perhaps it may be a good idea to have your computer checked out. Its ok to get a popup once in a while but if you are constantly getting them, that's a sign that perhaps your infected.

Being that you are probably infected, feel free to follow the instructions below to receive free, one-on-one expert assistance in checking your system and clearing out any infections and correcting any damage done by the malware.

Please see the following pinned topic which has information on how to get help with this: Available Assistance for Possibly Infected Computers

Thank you

No this all started after installing the new version.

And regardless of the issue of infection, there should still be the option to disable the notifications like the last version. But I am confident I am not infected as it only happens when going to certain sites.

Yes, you are correct in that currently you cannot disable the warning.  Hopefully this will make it into a future update not too far in the upcoming months.  As for seeing them often well that is not a good sign and yes the 2.0 engine is much better at detection.  It's certainly up to you but having someone that's actually trained in this and knows what they're doing help you for free is a pretty good offer and I would recommend you let someone help you.

 

Thanks

[legaldeejay]

Yes, I appreciate the offer of help, but I've gone through all the steps for eliminating infections in the past and have eliminated them. 

[AdvancedSetup]

Okay then.  I'll go ahead and close your topic and let's hope the Dev Team adds that feature back soon.

 

Take care
