I am unable to disable SecurityEdge's Malware and Phishing Protection at https://securityedge.comcast.com/.

The option is grayed out:

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?

I have the same problem- like to turn off the Malware and Phishing Protection but the option is On and gray out, can't turn if off. Any solution for this?

Hi everyone. Please take a look at this look for us. Let us know if any of the included info is helpful at all: https://comca.st/3IIKVNn.

I no longer work for Comcast

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?

I just don’t understand why we cannot turn this setting off. So frustrating.

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.
