In my case, it wasn't a problem with the free download, but with @Divine_Barakah it was for the pro version, so there wasn't a thought to submit it from my end.

That's a good point, and that Eset was possibly doing a good job in detecting it?
Most probably, but as I said it would have been nice if Eset provided more info.
I am having a bad day as Eset does not seem to play well with Adguard VPN. When VPN is activated, Eset does not detect any of AMTSO tests.
I just checked it out on my end, with Proton VPN enabled and for the tests I did run, Eset did wonderfully.
Wow, well at least we know Proton works with Eset. That's two issues you've had links from their forum for, yikes. Is Eset a little finicky in general?
It seems tye problem is related to Adguard VPN protocol.
If i dont manage to get this sorted out, unfortunately i will ditch Eset.
I think Eset provides more protection than a vpn. It's not about the price you paid for them.
I dont have many choices. Almost every VPN provider is blocked in Egypt. I can replace the security product but not the vpn in my case.
Well, last week ESET Liveguard blocked Antivirus installers on my end. AVG installer was new released so I give Eset the benefit of the doubt on that.The Ikarus file was months old and was deleted.Xvirus was detected as FakeAV.
Oh man...I'm starting to conclude now how Eset hate the competition.

you lost me -- are you running Eset AV and F-secure AV on same computer (or browser ext?)... on different pc & you sometimes check the results against each other...It's not where I dump Eset for it's occasional FP's and this, but, I will still use F-Secure and Avast free as well, to help compare and keep each other honest
Did Eset block the phishing test?
Not surprised ESET flags it as PUP when it can flag malware like valleyrat as PUP
Can you check the partition master installer itself against VT database?Not surprised ESET flags it as PUP when it can flag malware like valleyrat as PUP

Two different laptopsyou lost me -- are you running Eset AV and F-secure AV on same computer (or browser ext?)... on different pc & you sometimes check the results against each other...
I also have a Windows 10 desktop that I fire up once in a while. At times, I use one laptop for the better keyboard, and the other for the better screen. I do like comparing them against each other, checking the results against each other 
It's normal to have this type of PUP detection in ESET. They rely on AppSteem's info to detect such programs. But ESET, along with Kaspersky, are two of the rare AVs that let you whitelist by detection name as well as file hash. So just create detection exclusions for such programs.
But to be fair, from the screenshot, here Bitdefender, G-Data (own engine), K7 and Microsoft are also detecting it as a PUP so there must be a valid reason for that.
One of the reasons I set everything to Aggressive in ESET, including PUP and PUA.Not surprised ESET flags it as PUP when it can flag malware like valleyrat as PUP
