Hello @mikehanley! Thank you for taking the time to reach out and being part of the Xfinity family. That is pretty odd what have you tried already to get that option turned on?

@Comcast_Antoine I have tried rebooting the modem and I checked to see if there are any settings on the modem itself but I didn't see anything.

Hummm okay. You should be able to turn that off. I'd like to take a look at your account and see what I can find. Afterword I'll post the results in the thread so it'll help others with the same issue. In order to get started can you please send me a private message to Xfinity Support with your full name and full address by clicking the chat icon in the top right?

@mhanley There is no new information, as we did not receive a PM in order to look into this further. Please send us a PM with your first and last name, business name, phone number, and service address. To send us a Private Chat Message, select the message icon in the top right corner and then search for Xfinity support. With our new Xfinity support chat, you do not need to input the name of a person. Just select Xfinity support and you will be able to speak with the next available specialist.

Thank @Comcast_Heather. I did send a message to @Comcast_Antoine originally. I posted a new PM to @Comcast Business (I did not find Xfinity support in the To: list). Is that the right thing to do?

No, it is NOT helpful because it does not contain even a non-working (let alone: a working) answer on how to solve the problem.

For those of us who are experiencing business impacts due to incorrect classification of our business websites as "malware" or "phishing", can you recommend another Internet service provider that would be able to unlock this type of configuration option and thus enable us to remedy this business impact?

It looks like there was a link provided in an earlier post, did that not help you with anything? I am happy to help with your services however I can, but I want to make sure we cover some of the basics first.

This is ridiculous, Comcast Business is causing completely legitimate sites and businesses to show up as "Malware and Phishing" if they do not have an SSL, even if it is just a forwarding URL going to a site with an SSL, in this case the very well known and totally safe site teachable.com!!!

It is totally unprofessional and is hurting small businesses.

I am using these URL's as forwarding addresses for my client's business and I cannot even check to make sure it is working with my Comcast Business internet! It is the worst!!

Want to cancel and go to ATT Fiber ASAP!!!!!

I can understand that you would be frustrated. I do see that someone posted a link earlier, was that able to help you at all?

You can get it disabled by calling CB support. Just start there and don't waste any time in the defective UI. It's regrettable that the domain list is such an absolute dumpster of false positives, but ultimately Security Edge is just a junk bullet point for sales pitches, not something you're supposed to actually use on a production network.

The best solution I could find was to completely disable the SecurityEdge™ feature, which is uses-less IMO if you have a proper enterprise setup.
You DO NOT want to remove this feature from your service as it will break your "combo" package and they'll charge you more. Typical Comcast 🎩

Disable SecurityEdge™

Step-By-Step on How to Disable SecurityEdge

Login to https://business.comcast.com/
Click the blue "Manage Internet" button
Look for a box under Services & Equipment labeled SecurityEdge™
Click on the > icon within the title area of the box.
- DO NOT Click "Visit SecurityEdge".
A side panel should open on the right-side giving you the option to disable the service.
Untick the box to set the status of SecurityEdge™ to Disabled.
Within 5-10 minutes your blocked URL should be accessible.
Profit! 💰

When opening the SecureEdge flyout, I do not have a box that can be checked or unchecked to enable/disable SecureEdge.

Here are the contents of my flyout:
