Smart security Deleting/Quarantine it's own files?

[TCS 0]

Recently preformed a scan, and something was detected:

C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Smart Security\httpblk.dat - JS/Adware.Agent.AA application

The file was cleaned (quarantined).

Am i supposed to have a file "httpblk.dat" in C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Smart Security\?

If I am, I no longer have one because of the cleaning.

If I am not , then all is good.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thank you.

My system:

Win 7 home premium 64bit

Eset internet security ver 11.2.49.0

It could be because the file is not encrypted. We'll adjust the detection.

Yes. But I doubt its a critical file. Appears to contain HTTP/S references to recently Eset detected browser based malware. Since each entry is time stamped, it appears this file is used by Eset for internal reference purposes.

Ok, so nothing to worry about then.

Thank you for the prompt replies
