Need Help Submiting a possible False Positive

ok i have a game that like. But Nod32 finds it as a threat, and deletes and quarantines critical file in the game. There are many other players in this game and i have talked with them, and it seems as though only Nod32 detects the file as a threat, whereas All other AntiVirus promgrams that the other players use
This "false posotive" has only just started happening recently and well... i am gamer who likes to play his games.

But my main problem is that i cant send the file using Outlook express any my Mail provider only allows files to be sent up to 20mb, and the file i am trying to send is approximately 50mb

Any tips on?

Do you have an ftp client/know what ftp is and how to use it?

Couldn't it be that it's an unofficial patch or crack detected?

 

Re: Need Help Submiting a possible False Posotive

its not an unoficial patch because that particular file has been in the game for a verry long time, it is basicly what makes the game run, without that file you cannot start up, play or even run the game.
and i am verry confident that only Nod32 finds it as a threat

and i dont know what an ftp client is and how to use it

 

Hello,

Is the file small enough to send by email? If so, mail it to samples@eset.sk in a .ZIP or .RAR file protected with a password of "infected" (even though it isn't--that is just a standard password to use) and a Subject: of "False Positive".

In the body of the message, explain how you determined the file is a false positive, the version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus you are running--including the virus signature database version--and include a link to this message thread.

Such large files should be uploaded to an ftp or a file sharing service, such as RapidShare. When done, PM me the link to it.

 

Hello,

I did not see the part of the message mentioning the file size. Please use ftp, instead, to send the file to ESET.

Indeed a large file like that should be handled by FTP.

if you don't know what FTP is and how to use it then do you know how to split files via RAR?

When you use WinRar www.rarsoft.com you have a choice to split the files into Floppy, CD, DVD or CUSTOM. Choose custom and type in 19 MB, then just RAR it.

This will split the one large file into 3 files.
Then just send them to eset with titles.

FALSE POSITIVE 1/3
False Positive 2/3 and then finally 3/3.
Provide them instructions to save all the files in one folder and UNRAR them.

I know it's painful, but that is the only other alternative that I can see besides rapidshare or ftp.

The only problem with RapidShare is if this is a copyrighted file then you really don't want to open it to everyone, I know that chances of you getting into trouble for sharing one file out of file set is 1.0e-10 but still why risk it.
