    Hi bradtech,


    You might be referring to this by chance?

    My sister's laptop got hit by this nasty piece of malware and it somehow managed to disable ESET NOD32 v.4.0.437 with latest definitions. I was able to remove it using Malwarebytes v. 1.40. Unfortunately, I did delete the scareware and thus wasn't able to send the sample to ESET to be added to the definitions but if you did, that's great.

    This one is the nastiest piece of Adware I've seen so far. I hope ESET could detect it soon.

    See this link also for more information about this threat: http://remove-malware.com/antimalware/rogue-anti-malware/windows-security-suite-rogue/


    Kind regards,

    Carlos

    I always harvest the files off the computer, and then send to ESET and upload to Virus Total. Only way to expect better detection :).. Along with threatsense.. A lot of people can't get beyond the fact ESET missed something, but so does everything else.. I have 1,000s of computers and it does not happen very often.

    This hit 4 PC's, infecting one of ours. Users were smart on the other 3.

    None of our many AV products detected it at the time. I've submitted my copies to all our AV vendors and all but Symantec so far acknowledged it.

    Could you please PM me your email? All samples we've received that I've seen were already detected at least by our internal version which means they should be added to one of the upcoming updates.
