6.3. Samples Submission System
The Samples submission system is an intelligent ThreatSense.NET technology that collects
infected objects which have been detected by advanced heuristics and delivers them to the
samples submission system server. All virus samples collected by the sample submission system
will be processed by the ESET virus laboratory and if necessary, added to the ESET virus signature
database.
NOTE: ACCORDING TO OUR LICENSE AGREEMENT, BY ENABLING SAMPLE SUBMISSION SYSTEM YOU ARE AGREEING TO ALLOW
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. ALL INFORMATION COLLECTED
WILL BE USED ONLY TO ANALYZE NEW THREATS AND WILL NOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.
