ESET Insiders anirbandutta 0 Posted August 23, 2016 ESET Insiders Share Posted August 23, 2016 I am using ESET Smart Security 9.0.402.0 . ESET detects some downloads as virus. I am using latest Firefox browser(48.0.1) . It's false alert. See attached screenshoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,231 Posted August 23, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2016 The detection is correct - the software package has a toolbar bundled. Detection of potentially unsafe applications is disabled by default so you must have opted for detection and enabled it after installation in the advanced setup.

But no toolbar installed on my system when I Ignore & use this software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter if it's installed or not; it's a part of the package and therefore it's detected. PUA detection is optional. If you think that benefits of using a PUA outweigh potential risks, you can exclude such PUA from detection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
