At the same time, cybercriminals sometimes disguise malicious pages as legitimate Web resources. Safe browsing means staying alert and not thoughtlessly dismissing the occasional security warning. When your antivirus utility signals a threat, we recommend playing it safe and not visiting the site. If you really need to follow a link that may be unsafe, however, then minimize the risk \u2014 not by disabling protection, but by adding the site as an exclusion.<\/p>\n<input type=\"hidden\" class=\"category_for_banner\" value=\"ksec\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your antivirus stops you from going to a website, don\u2019t disable it, create exclusions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2706,"featured_media":41889,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[1251,180,2920,522,131],"class_list":{"0":"post-41888","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-products","8":"tag-antivirus","9":"tag-kaspersky-internet-security","10":"tag-kaspersky-security-cloud","11":"tag-products-2","12":"tag-tips"},"hreflang":[{"hreflang":"x-default","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/41888\/"},{"hreflang":"en-in","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.in\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/23277\/"},{"hreflang":"en-ae","url":"https:\/\/me-en.kaspersky.com\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/18763\/"},{"hreflang":"ar","url":"https:\/\/me.kaspersky.com\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/9419\/"},{"hreflang":"en-us","url":"https:\/\/usa.kaspersky.com\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/25343\/"},{"hreflang":"en-gb","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/23414\/"},{"hreflang":"es-mx","url":"https:\/\/latam.kaspersky.com\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/22837\/"},{"hreflang":"es","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.es\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/25994\/"},{"hreflang":"it","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.it\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/25545\/"},{"hreflang":"ru","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.ru\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/31448\/"},{"hreflang":"tr","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com.tr\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/10023\/"},{"hreflang":"fr","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.fr\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/17619\/"},{"hreflang":"pt-br","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com.br\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/18108\/"},{"hreflang":"pl","url":"https:\/\/plblog.kaspersky.com\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/15246\/"},{"hreflang":"de","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.de\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/27361\/"},{"hreflang":"nl","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.nl\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/27568\/"},{"hreflang":"ru-kz","url":"https:\/\/blog.kaspersky.kz\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/24316\/"},{"hreflang":"en-au","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com.au\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/29663\/"},{"hreflang":"en-za","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.za\/blog\/how-to-add-website-to-exclusions\/29457\/"}],"acf":[],"banners":"","maintag":{"url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/tag\/products-2\/","name":"products"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41888"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41888\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41991,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41888\/revisions\/41991"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
