Can someone from ESET comment on this:

 

On September 18, 2018, NSS Labs filed an antitrust suit against CrowdStrike, Symantec, ESET and the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization (AMTSO)

"We are aware of the allegations made by NSS Labs. However, as legal proceedings have just been initiated, we are unable to say more at this time beyond the statement that we categorically deny the allegations. Our customers should be reassured that ESET’s products have been rigorously tested by many independent third-party reviewers around the world, received numerous awards for their level of protection of end users over many years and are widely praised by industry-leading specialists."

This is just a response to one of their tests that was made earlier this year. However, you asked about comments on the recent accusation.

Here's the entire legal brief filing: https://www.nsslabs.com/default/assets/File/2018-09-18-NSS-Complaint.pdf

Hopefully, the entire suit will be dismissed as lacking merit. That is unless the court wants to once and for all, do a "deep dive" into software EULA agreements which I certainly would welcome.
