How to turn off annoying Website Blocked pop up message

The mute mode is ridiculous.  You can only mute up to 24 hours. I want to stop the continual pop-ups while I am browsing.  I don't need to know every two seconds that Trend is doing its job!  Stop the pop-ups! Also, for it to take over when I am typing is ridiculous!  I have had it.  

Also, stop asking about screenshots!  YOU know exactly what these threads have been complaining about for over 3 years. We don't want to see the constant pop-ups for every website we visit. We don't need to know that Trend is working every 2 seconds. I know it is working.  FIX IT!

Hi tthomasbeenyrn,

Welcome to Trend Micro Home Users Community!

Mute Mode is used to stop less important pop-ups from interrupting you while working or playing games on Windows PC.

To better assist you with this, may we know the message of Trend Micro from the pop-ups you received?

Awaiting your response.

Well, here we go again. Is this the go to message for all of you?  I said, you KNOW the pop-up messages. It is stopping me every two seconds. The pop-up will not go away until I click "ok" and on top of that, it takes over so whatever I am typing, it doesn't type.  This is a nuisance.  

I shouldn't have to click on MUTE MODE every hour or every day! 

I am attaching the message only because if I don't you or Trend won't do anything about the pop-ups. 

As you can see below, it IS JUST A NOTIFICATION THAT TREND IS BLOCKING THE TRANSFER OF INFORMATION.  Is this really necessary?  Isn't Trend supposed to be doing this? Isn't this why I pay for it?  Why do you have to let me know what you are doing every step I take?  I DON'T! 

Get rid of the pop-ups and insert the feature to turn off these stupid notifications.  I should only be seeing notifications where ACTION is required. 

GET RID OF THESE! Notifying us that TREND is doing the job is not necessary! 

Pls do not alert for blocked web categories .. We knowingly blocked them .. so we don't want get alerted .. 

You are going to lose many customers with these constant pop-ups. I am fed up. 

no one is like this .. feature .. we knowingly blocked the category why we should be alerted .. i think this will make to loose customers 

Thank you for sharing your idea, manipicao. We will have to take a look on this on our part as well. We always aim to provide quality service to our customers, rest assured we'll take your experience into account to improve our support.  

In case you need more help, please feel free to reach out to us again.

I am having the same problem. If it's the same website that is being blocked why can't it just block that website after 3 times and not have the popup?

Hi, markkosman! 

You can also try to add the website in the exception list or you may try to delete your web browser history and cache then restart your computer and check if the pop-up will still appear on your computer. 

For now, we'll take into consideration all the above-mentioned feedback in order to provide quality service. 

Thank you,

None of those solutions work.  I clear my browsing history every time I leave the internet.  Why would I want to continue to clear a browser for visiting my work websites or when I am shopping or browsing the news.  How about TREND gives us the feature to turn off NON-actionable notifications? 

I don't need to see that Trend is doing its job.  

go to settings on your web browser, cookies and site permissions, and look for the one that is triggering trend to go crazy. That was happening to me and it was blocking something that I accidently allowed site permission on. 

Hope this helps

Crikey, does anyone in TM support read through the threads? This solution DOES NOT WORK. I have TM sending me a pop up message constantly throughout my work day for a site that it has blocked - www.agafurretor.com - I want it blocked but I do not want a constant reminde popping up that is has been blocked. I do not belive you have clients who want to this warning message to appear dozens of a times a day! It does appear to a be a new issue - please fix it.

There seems to be a lack of communication here. The first issue is, agafurettor.com is caused by adware so why doesn't Trend Micro remove the offending adware from my computer? The second issue is, users want Trend Micro to block access to agafurettor.com but they don't want interruptive popups saying that Trend Micro has done this. You are just antagonising customers. Please block the access and record this so that I can search the records at a time that is convenient to me, otherwise Trend Micro itself is behaving like a virus. 

My points exactly!

Hi, joel.norton1! 

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Agafurretor.com is not related to Trend Micro in any way. In order to remove the website blocked notification, kindly delete all your web browser history and cache. Kindly try to remove all the unfamiliar or unwanted extensions on your web browsers.

I have done clear everything and no luck.  This is so annoying that I can see people changing.  21 clicks an hour for knowing you blocked a site is not right for loyal customers.  This started after an update and never did it before.  Fix it before I leave in one month if still tired of reading this clicking it and having it block what I am reading or trying to click on things. Thank you for your time.

You see, only standard replies. Same nonsense. They don't get it or just ignore you as a customer. Unbelievable crap.
