Well, that's a piece of good news to start with.

The next step is probably a bit daunting and potentially destructive if you get it wrong.

Grab the website name that keeps getting blocked by ESET and make a note of it.

From the Windows 'Search' box, enter 'regedit' and then select 'Run as Administrator'. You might need to right-click on the search results to bring up the context menu that gives this option.

Once in regedit, hit F3 (from memory - it's been a long time since I used regedit) and enter the website name into the search box.

If/when you get a result, delete the registry key and continue searching until you hit the bottom of the registry.

Save your work (there should be a menu item to do this) and then reboot your machine.

If it's still there when your machine comes back, then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas and the next thing on my list would be a complete reformat and re-install of Windows. A bit of a 'nuclear bomb' approach, I'm afraid.

Regards,
V.
