Don't Use Web Protection

Thread needs solution

I've been using the full anti-malware protection afforded by TI 2021, for about 3 weeks now.  I have it installed on one desktop and two laptops and I've had plenty of time to see Web protection in action.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with protecting your system.  

Now, I'm no political extremist, but I find it very offensive when it blocks many of the websites I visit as "Fake News".  That is the actual label it uses.  The pop-up labels the site as "malicious" when nothing of the sort is true.  I've had to explicitly "Trust" about 20 sites that were classified as Malicious Fake News.

There's an agenda here that has absolutely nothing to do with blocking bad sites.  I find it disappointing and offensive that Acronis is part of bit tech's censorship.  Facebook, Twitter, Acronis.

My opinion of Acronis has dipped about 20 notches.

Thanks for sharing your experience of the web protection feature!

I was wondering about this. The What's New about ATI 2021 mentioned that and I was not pleased. I have not tried the web protection, so it is interesting to hear. I wish they would publish a list of who's news they consider fake.

Looks like the forum issues have been resolved, so can now see this post and others again!

An untimely forum outage it was! I was doing some testing related to web protection in Avast and feared I'd messed up my system bad. I found some things at Acronis worked and some not.

Thanks to Steve who offline confirmed to me that the problems existed in England as well as USA, so I was not in as much trouble as I thought.
