Kaspersky Internet Security Blocking Websites

[Nikky Schreier]

Clientscan use 'blacklists' in Kaspersky's anti-virus and Internet security products to block undesired sites, such as those that house malware or deliver intrusive adverts. In any event, generous sites are occasionally wrongly blacklisted. Then we just worried about how to stop Kaspersky from blocking website.

tips. If you don't want Kaspersky blocking websites at all, toggle the Anti-Banner switch to the "Off" position from the Protection Center. You can also uncheck the "Block" and "Allow" list check boxes from the Anti-Banner menu.

Been using Bitdefender for quite some time. Within the last week it is either blocking websites so you cant access them or it is blocking functionality of the websites. For example when we try and login in it doesnt do anything. If i disable bitdefender I can log in just fine.

Having EXACT same issue! I get the error when trying to log into any of my Wordpress Admin panels... I get the error after successfully logging in. Even if I add URL to exclusion list, getting same problem. Only goes away after turning Shield off.

Same problem making any administration fixes in wordpress (.../wp-admin) a real nightmare. There actually are several threads on wordpress talking about this issue with BitDefender but it seems to be primarily a problem with the free version of the program.

Bitdefender Free constantly blocking genuine URLS, most recently Microsoft Azure Directory logins. The URL exclusion option doesn't work and I have observed that Bitdefender appears to be completely blocking the parameters being passed via the URL.

I have also observed this becoming a recurring problem with both consumer (Antivirus Plus) and business editions (Gravity Zone) and suspect this is due to the relentless new features being added, most of which are not really required. Endless notifications anyone?

We've been busy with a serious visual overhaul and content improvement for this Community, so please excuse the delay :) We would be happy to keep using BD Free, but, if you chose another product, we're happy to hear your thoughts anyways.

The Free version has it's qualities, but also it's limitations. We're constantly try to improve our whole portfolio of products, albeit free or paid. I understand your point (truly) and I will try to make it visible to the teams. No promises, tho :)

I am on Bitdefender gravity zone and am having problems with known good sites. I have created my exceptions and applied them to the correct computers but it still will not allow access to these sites. Turning off bitdefender to access these sites is not a viable option for me. Hopefully, I am missing something simple. HELP!!!

I've run into the same issue with Netgear-Bitdefender version (which I understand is comparable to Total Security except integrated with my Nighthawk R800P router). So far have only seen with a single site using Chrome or Edge on Windows 10 laptop. The site is any link for a large local healthcare company using Epic's EMR system with a MyChart patient portal to access medical records for their account. Accessing the main website (// ) works just fine. But using ANY link on that page going to a more secure location in their system ( ) results in an ERR_CONNECTION_RESET exception that says "This site cannot be reached the connection has been reset", with NO opportunity to proceed anyhow.

I have sent this to the review team as a possible False Positive hit for domain "account.allinahealth.org" as a possible route to resolve. However, with Notification above, I am unsure anything will be done since it appears to be a different sort of block occurring.

I have just started experiencing the same problem. Many of the websites that I use regularly are being blocked by Bitdefender no matter what browser I am using. It is very frustrating. It even blocked the log in page to this account!

I just went through a very similar problem sounding very similar to this with Malware Bytes's web blocker, where they blacklisted entire TLDs by default and then specifically whitelisted each site that complained about it. This, if similar, is a very unacceptable practice.

I'm seeing too, one of my own websites randomly being blocked for no valid reasoning and so, I'm concerned this may be following under the same pattern of abusive "security" measures that aren't based on security at all.

It's used for my Bulletin Board System since I'm a FidoNet Network Coordinator for Net135. I've been a BitDefender Antivirus subscriber for several years for my MacBook Pro, and if this is any way related to the same blacklist tactics that Malware Bytes did, then I will be hard pressed to press hard against BitDefender's methods just like I was with MalwareBytes.

Yeah, my paid ten devices licensed product is blocking HP.com and printer drivers' installations. I get "This page is having a problem" warnings all the time, and my W11 is crashing on a blue screen for all different reasons. I uninstalled BD using Revo Pro and installed Emsisoft. Now everything is working as it should, no more blue screens and no more interrupted videos. I reinstalled BD and the problems appeared again, so I will ask for a refund and remove BD from all the devices. I will use Emsisoft

Unfortunately, we won't be able to resolve this on the forum, as the engineers need to take a closer look at the device and find out what module is blocking the site and printer drivers' installations. Surely, a fix can be found. Should you reconsider Bitdefender and wish to contact our Support Teams for a more in-depth investigation, you may get in touch with them by accessing the following link:

I didn't realize it until later and problems with the state of Indiana but Bitdefender blocked me from filing my quarterly return. Also it blocks me from using auction sites, specifically certain auctioneers I have been using for years. Yes, i am paying for this annoyance, not to mention popups trying to induce me to pay for more of their services.

Are you using a VPN connection by any chance? I would recommend to disable the security modules one by one, to find out which is the culprit, if the situation is indeed related to the antivirus. Simply try to access the page after each deactivation to check if the page behaves differently than before. You can find the steps on how to do this here:

I cannot access certain sites to pay my bills (sites that I could access prior to installing Bitdefender). I also can't access previously available embedded training videos. I received no notification from Bitdefender that these sites were blocked. I was able to access the sites again as soon as uninstalled Bitdefender. This should not be happening - I'm paying for a product that I can't fully use without significant modification?

Let us know if you have followed the above instructions to disable the security modules one by one, to find out which defense is blocking the connection. Once we find the root cause, we can proceed with the next troubleshooting steps accordingly.

Guess what? I'm having the same damn issue. What's worse is that Bitdefender blocks EVERYDAY USE APPLICATIONS! It is FAR too strict! I can barely get my projects done. It's blocking applications for mods of vrchat, it's blocking some roblox applications, and unity applications causing them to crash. it even prevents my microphone being used, and the firewall blocks even the simplest online fetches that I cant seem to figure out how to add it to the exceptions. in fact, the exceptions doesn't work at all because anytime I add something there or to the "rule" it STILL gets blocked and deleted, especially the .exe files I use that it makes constant false positives on.

It is important to know exactly how the exceptions were added. For example, are the respective .exe files added as exceptions for the Advanced Threat Defense module as well? Check the following article for detailed steps on how to do this:

Usually, applications can be blocked by ATD if they are performing threat-like actions, or "shapeshifting" as I like to call it. If you are regularly using apps or programs that are subject to constant changes, since ATD looks for behavior anomalies, this may pose an inconvenience. Try to add the .exe for all programs that are being blocked and see if you can access them afterwards.

and I have another problem, why does bitdefender's firewall ALWAYS automatically turn on? its completely useless because it blocks very unnecessary essential files and instead doesnt work when i exclude them

Do you have Alert Mode enabled? If yes, kindly disable it and check if the firewall still enables itself automatically afterwards. If it does, please reach out to our Technical Support Teams, as this behaviour is a known issue that has already been acknowledged by the developers. Our engineers will advise on the next steps to follow. You can use the link below to get in touch with them:

Wrong, wrong, wrong, at least on the free version. I have the complete works paid version. This damn thing is going off of my computer tonight. I have a two-year subscription and can't access my electrical utility site, Comed, even though I've added it to my exceptions. Plus I don't see a way to temporarily disable this thing so I can log in. I had to shut down all of the devious ways that BD tried to get me to sign onto. And, this is Tom's Guide second best choice? This will be my one and only post. Bitdefender is a POS.

But not all products are recommended, and one of those is Kaspersky. This formerly popular antivirus has garnered attention since 2017 when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) named it a threat to national security because of its ties to Russia. (Kaspersky disagrees.[1])
