I am a webmaster who has two casino / poker related websites. Over the past year or so my virus protection program, I'm using NOD32, has been blocking an increasing number of different casino / poker software downloads.
The software I find that is currently being blocked is RTG, Playtech and Microgaming.
I got quite annoyed with this and sent an email to NOD32 support asking why their software was blocking legitimate casino and poker software. This is the reply that I received:
Have some of the major gaming software providers decided to spy on your gaming pattern? The market is very competitive so how low will some of these companies stoop to get a competitive edge?
I feel eCOGRA should investigate this matter as most of their approved list uses some of this "spyware".

Even though the software may be legitimate, most of these still have integrated spyware and require the user to install active-x controls. ESET will not block any software that is harmless.
