4.7 ThreatSense.Net

The ThreatSense.Net Early Warning System keeps ESET
immediately and continuously informed about new
infiltrations. The bidirectional ThreatSense.Net Early
Warning System has a single purpose – to improve the
protection that we can offer you. The best way to ensure
that we see new threats as soon as they appear is to
"link" to as many of our customers as possible and use
them as our Threat Scouts. There are two options:
1. You can decide not to enable the ThreatSense.Net
Early Warning System. You will not lose any
functionality in the software, and you will still receive
the best protection that we offer.
2. You can configure the ThreatSense.Net Early Warning
System to submit anonymous information about new
threats and where the new threatening code is
contained. This file can be sent to ESET for detailed
analysis. Studying these threats will help ESET update
its database of threats and improve the program's
threat detection ability.
The ThreatSense.Net Early Warning System will collect
information about your computer related to newly-
detected threats. This information may include a sample
or copy of the file in which the threat appeared, the path
to that file, the filename, the date and time, the process
by which the threat appeared on your computer and
information about your computer's operating system.

While there is a chance this may occasionally disclose
some information about you or your computer
(usernames in a directory path, etc.) to ESET's Threat
Lab, this information will not be used for ANY purpose
other than to help us respond immediately to new
threats.
The ThreatSense.Net setup is accessible from the
Advanced Setup window, under
Net. Select the Enable ThreatSense.Net Early Warning
System option to activate and then click the
button beside the Advanced Options heading.

4.7.1 Suspicious files

The Suspicious files option allows you to configure the
manner in which threats are submitted to ESET's Threat
Lab for analysis.
If you find a suspicious file, you can submit it to our
Threat Labs for analysis. If it is a malicious application, its
detection will be added to the next virus signature
database update.
Submission of Suspicious Files
send these files During
submitted to ESET's Threat Lab during a regular virus
signature database update. Alternatively, you can
choose to send them As soon as possible
is suitable if a permanent Internet connection is
available.
If you do not want any files to be submitted, select the
Do not submit option. Selecting not to submit files for
analysis does not affect submission of statistical
information, which is configured in a separate area.
The ThreatSense.Net Early Warning System collects
anonymous information about your computer related to
newly detected threats. This information may include
the name of the infiltration, the date and time it was
detected, the ESET security product version, your
operating system version and the location setting. The
statistics are typically delivered to ESET's servers once or
twice a day.
