I think the way Eset appears not to have a central email address for missed malware/virus for submission is silly (each country seems to have its own route and the option within eset never gets a response). Yesterday I submitted a file doing the rounds (first seen in the wild about 1.9.10) which is malware. They have not responded or even acknowledged my email. Today a similar file is doing the rounds re-submitted. Other AVs now beginning to detect that file (e.g. Avira) and some others not (e.g. Kaspersky!) ~Scan results removed per Policy~ Eset needs to get its act in order.
There should be no problem submitting samples per the instructions here. A reply should be provided unless the email is written in other than English language. I'd also add that detection for the files you referred to was added before you submitted them and will be released with the next update.
Will be released with the next update but submitted before I submitted them. Had no reply at all. Yes I write in English. Thanks. I would be interested to learn why it has taken you now nearly 3 days to release this detection. Seems a bit too slow for my liking.
That's wrong, the file was uploaded to Jotti about an hour ago. As you might have noticed, the antivirus you mentioned detected it only thanks to doubled extension as HIDDENEXT/Worm.Gen (a pretty easy trick to evade this detection would be using just one extension). Another thing is that we haven't received any file with the MD5 of the zipped file you referred to. We received the unpacked file from our distributor 1,5 hours ago (detection was already added) and then from a guy with the email address commencing with ai... .com. If this is not your email address then we haven't received your sample yet. To make sure, PM me your email address.
Hello, Perhaps Marek means that if you did not send the malware sample in question directly to samples@eset.com (or samples@eset.sk, which is the same mailbox) that it was not seen by ESET's virus lab until the submissions from the distributor, another user and Jotti were received.

Hello, A list of ESET's distributors can be found here on ESET's web site. While they do provide in-country support for their resellers and partners, they are not the virus lab, which is where submissions of a malicious nature should be sent. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
