ESET NOD32 false positive

[Itay Levy]

Hi, 

I have an apk with an Ad Network SDK. 

For some reason ESET NOD32 detects it (sometimes as a variant of Android/Anydown.J potentially unsafe )

BUT the NOD32 app on my device doesn't detect it at all. 

Please advice. 

Thanks

see FAQ https://www.virustotal.com/en/faq/

specifically:

A given antivirus in VirusTotal detects a file and its equivalent commercial version does not

VirusTotal antivirus solutions sometimes are not exactly the same as the public commercial versions. Very often, antivirus companies parametrize their engines specifically for VirusTotal (stronger heuristics, cloud interaction, inclusion of beta signatures, etc.). Therefore, sometimes the antivirus solution in VirusTotal will not behave exactly the same as the equivalent public commercial version of the given product.

VirusTotal is detecting a legitimate software I have developed, please remove the detections

VirusTotal acts simply as an information aggregator, presenting antivirus results, file characterization tool outputs, URL scanning engine results, etc. VirusTotal is not responsible for false positives generated by any of the resources it uses, false positive issues should be addressed directly with the company or individual behind the product under consideration.

We can, however, help you in combatting false positives. VirusTotal has built an early warning system regarding false positives whereby developers can upload their software to a private store, such software gets scanned on a daily basis with the latest antivirus signatures. Whenever there is a change in the detections of any of your files, you are immediately notified in order to mitigate the false positive as soon as possible.

So you should still reach out to ESET to report.
