Files sent to ESET

After the latest definition update to 6324, NOD32 A/V automatically sent two .htm files in a temporary internet files folder to ESET for analysis. I have never seen this happen before, log entries are as follows:

7/25/2011 2:13:11 PM Kernel File 'C:\Documents and Settings\<NT Userid>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\JVUSBUKY\contact[2].htm' was sent to ESET for analysis.

7/25/2011 2:12:47 PM Kernel File 'C:\Documents and Settings\<NT userid>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\O4TNUWC2\contact[1].htm' was sent to ESET for analysis.

Also in the log are two events indicating:
7/25/2011 2:13:14 PM Kernel Statistical information was sent to ESET.

No virus alerts popped up around the same time. I did have some issues earlier today which were caught by ESET.

The .htm files cannot be found on my C: drive (have show hidden and system files set on). Is this anything to worry about?

 

I wouldn't worry. From what you said, whatever it was, Eset took care of it.

 

Hello djackino
Here is a link about ThreatSense.Net : http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?pag...earch&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1311618925267 which should clarify it further.
