6.5. Samples Submission System

Samples submission system is an intelligent ThreatSense.NET technology that provides
catching of the infected objects found by advanced heuristics method and delivering these
objects to the samples submission system server. All virus samples catched by the sample
submission system will be processed by the team of ESET virus laboratory department and
consequently added into the ESET virus database, if necessary.

THE COMPUTER AND/OR PLATFORM ON WHICH THE ESETS_DAEMON IS INSTALLED TO COLLECT DATA (WHICH MAY INCLUDE
PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU AND/OR THE USER OF THE COMPUTER) AND SAMPLES OF NEWLY DETECTED VIRUSES
OR OTHER THREATS AND SEND THEM TO OUR VIRUS LAB. THIS FEATURE IS TURNED OFF BY DEFAULT. WE WILL ONLY USE THIS
INFORMATION AND DATA TO STUDY THE THREAT AND WILL TAKE REASONABLE STEPS TO PRESERVE THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF
SUCH INFORMATION.
In order to turn on Samples Submission System, the samples submission system cache has
to be initialized. This can be achieved by enabling configuration option 'samples_enabled' in
[global] section of ESETS configuration file. In order to enable process of samples delivery to ESET
virus laboratory servers it is yet necessary to enable parameter 'samples_send_enabled' in the
same section.
