LMAO, i don't do coding but from what i can gather that routine of code is downloading something which Viber are offering silently, encrypting it and pushing it to the user. Thats just plain bad practice and i applaud ESET for calling them out on it.

I think that ESET handled that extremely well. If I ever need an AV I think I know who I'll be going to.
