    I tried to send a false positive file in my quarantine and I received the following error from NOD32:

    The submission of suspicious files is currently disabled. It has been added to the queue.

    What does this mean and why is it happening?

    I have no clue why it's happening, but if you want to submit a potential FP follow these instructions. Also let us know more details about the file, such as the file name and the threat which is reported.

    Thanks, Yes, I used that method and I got a reply from Eset. File was infected due to a infected compiler the publisher used. I downloaded a new version of the program and it's clean now.

    Anyway, I sent an email to Eset about this message:

    The submission of suspicious files is currently disabled. It has been added to the queue.


    Anyone else have any info on this?

    I had this problem when threatsense.net was unchecked in advanced setup. You definitely want to go there, if you have not checked allready. In addition, that is where the queue is and the settings to be able to send the file immediately, depending on what the parameters are set at.

    Yes, I have threatsense turned off - that explains it.

    I just email the files when the need arises.

    Thanks.

    One final comment from Eset on the subject:

    I have found that this error can be caused by the eset servers being down for maintenance. In addition, I have learned that Eset prefers the email method for submitting false positives as discussed earlier in this thread.
