    What's going on? Usually when I'm trying to download a trojan that ESET detects, it errors not letting me download it. But today I'm noticing ESET detect variants and NOT blocking the download. Then after scanning the file, it's not detected?

    Should I be submitting these or is ESET somehow corrupting them?

    Circle 1 = Normal
    Circle 2 = Not Normal


    EDIT= Forgot to attach this:
    threat.jpg

    The ones in the circle are BOTH 1.exe but in this case it was detected, allowed to download, then removed after download. The others weren't. This is completely abnormal behavior. Usually it can't even get as far as the download manager. Did something change?

    Everything blacked out is URL's to prove it detects the URL and not the file.

    These are brand new threats, so good job on the heuristic detection. But I need to figure this out. :)

    I think while this files in quarantine ESET blocking them and not asking again, but probably something wrong with ESET. Delete files from quarantine(downloads too), scan whole PC and if he will still not detect the threats try reinstall ESET. Then, we will seeo_O

    Perhaps the files are corrupt. I wonder if the undetected files even run.

    I disabled protection and downloaded them all, then scanned them and they were detected. The funny thing is a few other (top) AV's which shall remain nameless were adding detections for these "corrupt" samples.

    I included the detected ones in a daily malware zip pack anyway, but you know what weekends are like so waiting for monday.

    The problem of why I could download them in the first place is still unresolved.
