Slithereen Guard 0 Posted August 5, 2016 ESET has live grid that is a file reputation system. i want to know what happens when ESET encounters unknown files. Does it stop that application from running? Does ESET asks user to allow/block unknown applications from running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are other sophisticated mechanisms in place to determine if a file is malicious than just by judging from whether it's known or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
