    Hello ESET,

    This is freeapp from Cheng Du VTools Information Technology.

    Your program ESET Smart Security 4 and NOD32 have mistakenly detected our green program freeapp.exe as a probably unknown NewHeur_PE. Here is the analyzing report from VirusTotal.

    ~ Virus Total Results Removed per Policy - ESET Will See Report ~

    This is absolutely a false positive. Freeapp.exe is high-test, absolutely without any virus or spyware. This is the latest beta 3 version which will be released recently.

    Detailed information can be found at:

    http://www.freenew.net/beta03/

    We have contacted your ESET always since we detect this issue in last week but fail to get any information from these emails (support@eset.com,samples@eset.com, samples@eset.com). So please ask the related staff to address this issue and help us solve it ASAP. This false positive has put off the release schedule more than one week, which bring a lot of lost to our company and our customers. A quick assistance on this issue is highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    To my best knowledge, the detection was temporarily removed but the file will need to be analyzed deeply due to its suspicious characteristics.
