This file is from the latest AOL 9, notice NOD32 is the only scanner that detects this as a trojan. Additionally, this file has been on my computer for a month now, since upgrading to AOL 9, this definition was added on 5/5/04 according to the updates page on Eset's website but this is the 1st time it is detected. What gives? This didnt even show up on last nights 4AM scan.

 

Please submit this particular file to Eset for analysis (support@nod32.com).

 

I already submitted it to samples@nod32.com but i will send it to support also, thanks

 

Coming up on 24 hours and still no response from Eset. Frequent False Positves and another fine demonstration of their outstanding customer support that everyone in this forum always mentions. Fortunately I have licenses from multiple AV companies. Panda answered in about 30 mins to say the file wasn't infected and it must be a false positive with NOD. Trend Micro about 10 mins after that and said the same thing. Way to go ESET!

 

That's ok, if they want to loose their customer base then that's their problem. I have no problem with that since I will not renew my contract with them. I just fear the hours of frustration of other users who will accidently delete their files especially if they used RAR to compress their files. I.E my monthly project took a lot of space so I had to rar it, but in order to open the file at any other PC I used SFX and now with NOD32 my whole project was deleted due to the false positive...now my original is at work so the work I took for the weekend is gone. !!! YAYA!!!!
Thanks!

That's ok lots of customers will be causing away at the tech support and the fact that most of their data will be deleted (rar) and without any word from ESET so far (no update no patch).

 

To all those who helped with or endured this fp, the latest def update has solved this fp, at least on my system. Thanks for all the help and support. If it doesn't help on your system email support@nod32.com. Thanks everyone!

 

Good to see Flyrfan111

Cheers

 

Thanks Blackspear. BTW I had a question for you, how do you exclude a file during a command line scan?

 

Sorry Flyrfan111, I'm not sure about that one, can you please start another thread on this, so we can all learn

Cheers

 

Ok, No Prob., Thanks again.
