Legitimate email from ESET?

[User 13]

Today I received the following mail from noreply@orders.eset.com.

 

I didn't order or request anything.

So is this a legitimate mail from ESET or something else?

Parental control part of ESS and I don't see a stand alone version for sale on eset.com - hxxp://www.eset.com/int/download/home/

Yes, that is also strange.

 

BTW, here are the email headers:

Hm, no answer from ESET?

Hm, no answer from ESET?

I'm sure one of the Moderators will respond soon.

These emails are generated by a system not controlled by us (i.e., me) so we (KB) have asked those responsible for an explanation. They have responded to us that they are looking into it. I expect an answer after the weekend, but it's safe to assume that it's some minor glitch, but we'll find out for sure. 

[foneil 342]

We received a response from the team responsible for this system--it was a legitimate email (that is was from ESET) but it was incorrectly sent to you. The reason for this has been resolved but please continue to let us know if you (if anyone) receive incorrect email templates.
