ThreatSense cache?

I have noticed that NOD32 displays the window, attached below as a screenshot, in its options screen.

My question is: what is this cache, can I limit its size, and how do I clear it?

Thanks.

 

The cache contains files that have been detected by advanced heuristics and as such are suitable for submission for analysis. Try clicking the "Submit now" button to see if the files are sent and the cache is flushed.

 

Very first thing I tried. No go, unfortunately.

Incidentally, is there an upper limit to this cache, or will it balloon indefinitely? Also, there seems to be a percentage indicated - percentage of what?

Thanks in advance.

 

Well Threat _Sense is the technology used in proactive detection by Eset, so It could be the submission of statistical information to them or the upload of suspicious files..
I don't think you should worry, still it could be a little more detailed

 

I'm not worried; I'm just asking some questions.

 

Hi, samples are sent step-by-step. Only wait.

 

It's zero files to be submitted now, but the cache is still stuck at 11%.

Looks like I'm finally getting a taste of ESET's famous reputation for tech support...

 

If Eset's lab has got these samples, so they won't be sent.

 

Which then begets the obvious question of how on earth do I get rid of them.

 

The percentage refers to a file with information about files the program has submitted or tried to submit, but the files was eventuially refused by the server. This file is not large and we do not recommend deleting it so that the program doesn't have to contact ThreatSense servers the next time the same suspicious files are detected.

 

Marcos,

Does that mean the files will just keep accumulating with no way to get rid of them?

 

The file with information about suspicious files is reasonably small and doesn't grow forever - when the limit is reached the older records are rewritten.

 

One question: does v3 also have the possibility to turn the sending of statistical information off?

 

Thanks for the explanation. I've also found out, via trial and error, how to kill the cache.

ESET seems to have a very sophisticated reporting mechanism in place with ThreatSense. Here's to hoping your company will be able to make better use of it.

 

That means the size of the cache is managed by NOD32 and can not be changed by user.

Am I correct?

 

Seput => Enter entire advanced setup tree => Tools => ThreatSense.Net => Advanced setup => Statistics

Yes
