ESET Smart Security and NBPRo 6.00F1, virus?

I am running Eset Smart Security 4.2.71.2. I am trying to install Newsbinpro V6.00F!. If I download the installer from the official website, i get the following error "7/7/2011 12:21:10 PM HTTP filter file http://www.newsbin.com/download.php?reg ... ion=6.00F1 probably unknown NewHeur_PE virus connection terminated - quarantined XP340\jim fillers Threat was detected upon access to web by the application: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe."

If I turn off filtering, I can download the installer but when I run it, I get the same error about nb600F1.exe. ESET just doesn't like the executable. Any thoughts. Thanks.

Has been posted in Esets forum also.

I just scanned it against 20 virus scanners and it came up clean. Looks like a false positive in your virus scanner. This is a good site for double-checking: http://virusscan.jotti.org

Just to let you know what was wrong, having just rebuilt this system, I was using the default virus definitions that came with Eset. Once I upgraded to a current version, problem went away. My bad. Thanks for your help.
