    I'm testing NOD32 Enterprise. Today one of our in house applications was recognized as a potential virus (newheuer) which it obviously isn't, I think the a/v is just detecting it through heuristics of some sort.

    As I understand it I can exclude the default application path/filename from scanning or turn off heuristics (which seems to defeat the point).

    Is there any other way to "teach" NOD32 that it is safe for what could end up as a x00 seat install base?

    Thanks in advance.

    Submit the file for analysis and the detection can be fixed that way.

    It's in house though i.e. nowhere other than our company would use it.

    It would still be easier to get it fixed that way then having to exclude it from so many work stations.

    Ok if they will do that cool - tbh I assumed they wouldn't as if every single application any company developed that looked suspect were sent to, and excluded by Eset I thought they'd end up with a huge set of definition files, IYSWIM.

    Don't worry so much but send the file for inspection . ESET should use the file only for threat inspection , they won't steal any information from you .

    You can use this form providing info and your UN from the NFR you have for testing

    i've had a similar issue with false positives with files only our company would use and thye wer efixed within a day or so of submitting them to ESET, they are very quick at sorting out FPs.
