What is ESET?
ESET is one of the world's largest cybersecurity companies, founded in Slovakia, with NOD32 antivirus and Internet Security products protecting over 110 million users in more than 200 countries. Their LiveGrid cloud-based reputation system and URL filtering are deeply integrated into every ESET product. ESET's threat intelligence is among the broadest in the industry, covering endpoints, mobile devices, and enterprise deployments globally.
Why ESET flags legitimate domains
- ESET's LiveGrid threat intelligence flagged your domain based on user telemetry data
- A URL on your domain was identified as part of a phishing or malware campaign
- Your domain appeared in malware sample metadata analysed by ESET's research lab
- Automated scanning detected suspicious JavaScript, redirects, or exploit code on your pages
- Your domain shared infrastructure with entities already flagged by ESET
What a listing means for your business
An ESET flag reaches over 110 million users worldwide immediately. Because ESET products are particularly prevalent in Central and Eastern Europe, including Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Romania, a flag can significantly impact accessibility for users across the entire region. ESET enterprise products also power corporate network protection for thousands of companies.
How BrandsDefender gets you delisted
We verify that your domain is clean, prepare the evidence ESET needs, file the false positive dispute through the right channel and follow up until the flag is removed. No cure, no pay.
