If you don't want NOD 32 to notify you about bundled bloatware then click on advanced settings in the upper right corner of the NOD 32 GUI. Then choose Antivirus, and Antispyware. Then untick enable detection of potentially unwanted applications. I myself want Eset to detect bloatware. I don't want a bunch of thrid party software being installed on my computer. Most of the time you can opt out of installing third party software such as toolbars etc.. during the installation. This isn't always the case though, and many people install the third party sofware that's bundled with the installer without knowing it or accidently do it because they click through the installation so fast they do not read where it states that the bundled software is an optional install. So they do not untick the optional install of the bundled software. Some installers are sneaky about it. The installer will give an option for the user to conduct a normal install which states recommended above it, and the option to conduct an advanced install. If the user chooses a normal installation then the bundled software will be installed on the user's machine without ever notifing the user. This is the sneaky way of doing it, and it's just plain wrong.

Yes, thank you for detecting it to! Many Antivirus do not detect it. That's just one more reason for me to use Eset.

I love the new forum, and it's layout. It looks very professional, and it's easy to navigate. In my opinion it's very well organized, and provides easy access to whatever one may be looking for. Someone brand new to the forum should be able to navigate the site with ease. I do have some advice to provide an even better user experience. There should be a section on the forum with instructions on how to submit infected links, phishing sites, and malware samples to Eset. NOD 32 allows one to submit a suspicious file, false positive, or other sample from withing NOD 32 itself. Someone new to Eset may not know this though so list instructions for reporting suspicous files in the thread as well. All information related to reporting threats should be in one centralized location. Also list instructions for reporting infected links, and phishing sites to Eset. I see no where for doing this within NOD 32 itself. All instructions for reporting any type of threat should be in one centralized location. Not having this information easy to find will only hurt Eset. Allow your users / fan base to help you! We want to help you. I've been using Eset for many years, and I myself have much difficulty finding this information on the site. I looked for an address with instruction on how to submit a suspected infected site yesterday, but was unable to find it on Eset's website. I would like to see a dedicated section for this on the forum. Provide all this information in a thread, and then close the thread.
