If NOD32 ever warns of a “Probable NewHeur_PE virus found”, please do the following:

1. Place a tick in the Quarantine check-box
2. Select Delete
3. Send the quarantined file to Eset: samples@nod32.com

This file can be found here:

C> Program files> Eset> Infected

Note: this folder will only be displayed/made when you first receive an infected file and it is sent to Quarantine.


Quarantine ONLY makes a secure copy of the Virus or Trojan found so it can be sent to Eset for further analysis, it does NOT isolate the Virus or Trojan.
