Stonehouse Posted November 25, 2025 Posted November 25, 2025 Getting this from ESET for the main website. Seems very general rather than specific to ESET so perhaps someone official should contact ESET and other providers of such software to get the website register mentioned fixed up Quote Intel Ultra9 285K, ROG Strix Z890-A, 32 GB RAM, RTX 5070 Ti 16GBVRAM and driver 591.86, Win11 Pro, Saitek Pro Flight Combat pedals, Warthog HOTAS, TM Cougar MFDs
JollyJack Posted November 25, 2025 Posted November 25, 2025 Understandable, Avast Ultimate AntiTrack continuously catches Tracking cookies, marked high class level. In my 3 sessions so far 30 unwanted ones. With this new forum site i'd suggest you always need at least to use a VPN permanently, and scan for malware after visits. It seems the old forum site was safe; i don't trust this one. Quote

Stonehouse Posted November 29, 2025 Author Posted November 29, 2025 Well, I've filled out an eset form to say that il2-series.com is wrongly listed as a dangerous website. Hope it does something. @LukeFF Guessing you may well have seen this thread but wanted to be sure. Based on the warning message I'm assuming eset is checking against some sort of general register of websites rather than a wholely internal eset one and if correct this may mean other security software is blocking access as well. Probably useful if someone from the dev team or management followed up on getting the site unblocked/marked as safe.

I really think the dev team needs to do it as website owner for it to get traction. @LukeFF Any chance someone can follow up on this? ESET users and possibly others are blocked from the new main website and store page. Forum is fine but anything hanging under https://il2-series.com/ is getting blocked. It is even possible that there is an issue the dev team is unaware of and that is why it has not been unblocked. No idea really but it's stopping me and likely others from pre-ordering.

Aapje Posted December 20, 2025 Posted December 20, 2025 The site doesn't seem to be in any of the malware listings: https://www.urlvoid.com/scan/il2-series.com/ And the ESET users can try reporting this false positive to ESET themselves: https://support.eset.com/en/kb141-submit-a-virus-website-or-potential-false-positive-sample-to-the-eset-lab#SubmitWebsite Quote

I think it would probably need the website owner to chase it for something to happen.

Stonehouse Posted December 22, 2025 Author Posted December 22, 2025 I discovered the ESET forum while looking around for a way to facilitate getting the issue sorted out and tried the more direct approach - not sure how long it takes for the unblocking to actually take place, but they said it has been done.
