Low False Positive Rate
A very low false positive rate ensures that the “good” files on your computer will not be flagged as malware. This is due to the intelligent synergistic use of advanced heuristics and  generic signatures. ESET ThreatSense has produced the fewest false positives in its long history of testing with Virus Bulletin.
