  1. We who??? Even though has been explained over and over , this does not mean it is right ( yeah, ESET is the only AV in the world doing it right!)
  2. Hi Karlisi, see: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/a6502e1484bc6b1f6e07f2aa93fad29d847deed6e657ac698289dc207083e42d/analysis/ this is ESET detecting Ask! toolbar in Avira installation.
  3. A detection rate of 1 from 45 makes ESET rather odd than special!
  4. Hi Marcos, you may want to read this: hxxp://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=128290 "... but as far as I know, we've [ MBAM ] never detected Ask. Ask is pretty much on par with Google and MSN/MS Bing as far as toolbars go. They always have an opt-out option in software installers and don't really do much other than show you search results from their search engine and gather statistical data (which all search engines do anyway, even if not using their toolbar as that's how they rank results and gauge the popularity of links/websites and handle their 'targeted' adverts)." Is not like " other vendors simply don't focus on PUA " but rather they do not want to have an unnecessary detection; I simply cannot understand why, if nobody else on AV industry is detecting Ask! as PUA , ESET would continue to do it!
  5. Hi, While I agree with you that Ask! toolbar is not a desirable item, most of the time Ask! toolbar is bundled together with a free item and removing it will make the item nonfunctional , or there is an option to not install it from the beginning; once you agree wit installation , is no longer a P"Unwanted"A . Anyway ESET is the only one which is still detecting Ask! toolbar , so I doubt that everyone else is wrong but ESET.
  6. Hi Janus, I understand what are you saying, however , none of the other AV's from virustotal.com would detect this as PUA (Detection Ratio 1/46), so maybe this should be reviewed by ESET as unnecessary detection.
