    I´ve submited this file to Eset about 1 month, and NOD32 still isn´t able to detect this trojan. No, its not a false positive, neither a non functional malware. It has created 2 others trojans on my c:/Windows folder, and Ewido has removed them for me.

    Anyway, I´ll send it to Happy Bites again..

    Well, I think it will be added shortly! Perhaps it's not so dangerous!

    This from virus list(kaspersky)
    Trojan-PSW.Win32.Delf.ip
    Detection added Dec 22 2005
    Behavior PSW Trojan


    Currently there is no description available for this program

    PSW Trojans
    This family of Trojans steals passwords, normally system passwrods from victim machines. They search for system files which contain confidential information such as passwords and Internet access telephone numbers and then send this information to an email address coded into the body of the Trojan. It will then be retrieved by the 'master' or user of the illegal program.

    Some PSW Trojans steal other types of information such as:

    System details (memory, disk space, operating system details)
    Local email client
    IP-address
    Registration details
    Passwords for on-line games
    Trojan-AOL are PSW Trojans that steal passwords for aol (American Online) They are contained in a sub-groups because they are so numerous
    So potentially it could be quite dangerous!

    This is one of the reservations I have with NOD:-it(and eset) seems to rely too much on heuristics which, although are very good,are fallible and are not a panacaea for all ills.
    If more users acknowleged this and "pestered" eset a little then perhaps we would get signature updates faster,then we would have the best of both worlds:-Excellent heuristics combined with fast updates:-this update is more than two weeks behind Kaspersky and there is really no excuse for that!

    true there is no excuise for that, because that file was sent to them for 2 weeks ago!
    That's what's bad with nod :(

    Well, let's not criticise them that much! I'm sure starting with the new version 3.0 the things will be totally different! ;)

    Shouldn't really have to wait for a new release for updates to be faster!

    I agree... I´ve sent a version of Ghost Keylogger (v. 3.80) that isn't detected by NOD32 nearly a month ago. I sent it through NOD's submit function AND as a an attachment to samples at eset.com. It has never been added.

    All antiivirus and antispywares I tested correctly detected and removed this version of ghostkeylogger. Keyloggers are a big security problem and I´d expect a submited new version to be added quickly.

    well i agree... but i hope we dont have to wait for the next product upgrade just to recognize some trojans and some keylogg's :)
    nod32 was the best antivirus before, but now i've seen so many complain about it with diffrient answeres about nod...

    When we send a sample to KAV labs, they aways give us some answer. Why can´t Eset answer us too, like KAV Labs?

    an automated response would be nice, but I seriously don't want a trained virus analyst taking time to hand respond to my submission - it is time better spent ADDING DEFINITIONS... at least in my opinion....

    Please be more specific about these false positives. I'm not aware of any that would still be reported !!!

    Where does this post by Mattias appear in this thread?Its seems a little like "having a go at someone who dare criticise Nod" what did you do pull up every post by him to find one that hadn't or couldn't be proven just to try and sidetrack what is really a valid thread criticising the speed that some(not all)signatures are added to the database,I think even you would agree it could be improved

    The problem was that the guy was critising Eset without giving any relevant arguments. There aren't actually any false positives produced by ThreatSense (AH) that we know about and the guy didn't provide any example either.

    As for how quickly samples are added - it's been mentioned several times here that Eset adds signatures on a per-need basis which also means that more prevalent and dangerous samples not detected by heuristics have higher priority than the rest. Of course, there's still room for improvements and I can assure you Eset is aware of this and some improvements are to be seen shortly.

    About threatsense false positeves: I think nod does not give us a lot of false positives. NOD32 is one of the antivirus that has less false positives, IMHO.

    About the speed of adding signatures: It should be improved.. KAV can, why Eset can´t?

    POS, Marcos stated: "some improvements are to be seen shortly." So don't panic. I'm sure it will happen soon. :)
