Strange logged events

[jayt]

I found this entry in my event log. I have no idea what it is about. If it is from th e ThreatSense Net Early Warning System, I have that set but it is supposed to ask before sending. A mystery?

[snowbound]

I see 4 of these in my Event Logs today,

Time Module Event User
5/14/2005 13:58:29 PM Kernel Statistical information has been sent to Eset.

Running NOD32 2.5

Never seen any such entries in last version of NOD32.

Anyone know what or why this info is being sent to Eset?

Did you look here?

[snowbound]

Yes i did but i'm not convinced that's what's happening here.

I have that option set to ask first and this info(whatever it is) is being sent without alerting me first. Seems this info is not about threats so i'm curious why or what is being sent.

I just checked my logs, and I have the same thing, though being in your future we were naturally ahead of you guys

I did notice Secunia is involved. This from clicking on a link in the help file.

I do not have the early warning system turned on yet anyway. But I was wondering if you needed the Mircosoft.Net framework installed to use it, or is it just called ThreatSense.Net for another reason?

In advanced settings in the Threatsense.net tab, the Statistics tab has an option to tick "enable submission of anonymous statistical information". also the option how you want to send it. This seems to be independent of the threat of sending information about suspicious files.
The beta version was sending this info also.....my log

Ok thanks, i'll untick that paticular option as i, myself , am not too fond of this type of info(whatever it is) being sent to Eset, Secunia or anywhere else for that matter, without my permission....

There's an example of the statistical information submitted in the help files, if you are not sure what information is submitted. The more people turn off submision of statistical information, the slower Eset will react to new threats.

Hello Marcos!

Why ESET doesn't implement this statistical information like in NOD32 Scanner log. Everbody will see what information is sent to ESET.

Some of this information may include personal information about the user of the computer, for instance usernames in the path etc. An example of the file information submitted is available here.

Na, don't like that.

NOD32 2.5 Control Centre --> NOD32 System Tools --> NOD32 System Setup --> Setup --> ThreatSense.Net --> Advanced settings --> Suspicious Files
is what you have set to ask first, but
NOD32 2.5 Control Centre --> NOD32 System Tools --> NOD32 System Setup --> Setup --> ThreatSense.Net --> Advanced settings --> Statistics
is what is causing the entry in your log here.

Yes, thanks.

I unchecked that option a few days ago.
