When scanning files with ESET File Security for Linux the scan detects no malware on a mounted NSS volume, even if present. Upon finishing, the scanner displays a list of scanned objects. Are some of the scanned objects infected, however, all items on the list will appear as clean.
The reason for this is that Novell Storage Services (NSS) distort common unix security principles the scanner relies on, limiting its privileges. This can result in threats not being detected on NSS mounted volumes.
To fix this problem:
Open the configuration file (with root permissions) in a text editor.
user@machine:~$ sudo nano /etc/esets/esets.cfg
[sudo] password for user:
Find the [global] section
Find the line:
esets_user = “esets”
and replace it by:
esets_user = “root”
Save the configuration file and exit.
Restart the esets_daemon.
NOTE: It is important to restart the ESETS daemon after saving the changes for the new settings to apply.

Here are some introduction:
No personal computer exists in a vacuum. As elegantly designed as Macs are, a connected world means that their popularity attracts the attention of malware writers and virus engineers. Not only can malware and other threats attack the Mac OS X platform directly, but Macs can also serve as a carrier of Windows or Linux-based threats. Network shares, email and removable media like USB keys are easy ways easy ways for multiplatform malware to spread under the radar.
The Mac’s meteoric rise in popularity makes the Mac OS X platform more likely to be a target for cybercriminals looking to profit from the perception that Macs are invulnerable to from viruses, worms, trojans and other threats. ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Mac OS X brings to the Mac world protection that Windows users have trusted in and depended on: the smart proactive detection and small footprint of our ThreatSense® technology. ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 will keep you and your network safe from emerging Mac OS X and cross-platform threats without system slowdowns. Advanced heuristic technology recognizes and nullifies novel threats while other AV solutions are still waiting hours or days for signature updates.
