Question ESET blocke a website while I checked my email

[SigmaTheFox]

I was looking through my email with the Windows 10 email app (I didn't open any), and suddenly ESET decided to block this URL moiawsorigin.clo.footprintdns.com.
This is the full log of the detection

Time	URL	Status	Application	User	IP address	SHA1
10/24/2019 4:45:57 PM	https://moiawsorigin.clo.footprintdns.com	Blocked by PUA blacklist	C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\SearchUI.exe	SIGMA-PC\valer	185.53.178.9	729DAFC684B5131B0C6CA59DE4ABDABC0D4CB822

I read that "footprintdns.com" is a domain owned by Microsoft, but I would like to know if it really is a threat or not.
I scan my pc around twice a week for viruses (once with malwarebytes and once with ESET) and last time I scanned (2 days ago with mablwarebytes) there weren't any.
The biggest question I have is, why did Cortana's SearchUI.exe try to access that website?

cortana calls home, plain and simple. ESET is garbage too BTW. absolute. you are better off using built in windows defender and add malwarebytes to your mix.

I mean, I've been using ESET with malwarebytes as a second opinion scanner for over 3 years now, mostly because of the low performance impact it has, and in those 3 years I only had 1-2 undetected viruses because ESET always blocked the new ones (malwarebytes never finds anything because of this). I also tend to only go to websites I know and never download anything from unknown sources

that's fine, but Defender is every bit as good and does not suck life out of the pc. I've had too many issues like you have where they block something they shouldn't. I had to abandon ESET as a result. have never been infected using defender and malwarbytes either.
