So I tried to use their free "online" scanner (which is still a local executable) on a windows machine I have access to, but it just closes after downloading its database. So I get no report whatsoever.

@kasthack do you mind reporting this to ESET? They have instructions for false-positive detections: https://support.eset.com/en/kb141-submit-a-virus-website-or-potential-false-positive-sample-to-the-eset-lab
