Did you just find a file that has a digital signature from ESET, spol. s r.o.? If so, please read on.
You'll probably see ESET, spol. s r.o. when clicking to run the file. The publisher name is displayed as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screengrab shows:

Here's a screenshot of a file signed by ESET, spol. s r.o.:
As you can see in the screenshot above, Windows states that "This digital signature is OK". This implies that the file has been published by ESET, spol. s r.o. and that the file has not been tampered with.

The following are the ESET, spol. s r.o. files I have collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.
The FreeFixer tool treats files from ESET, spol. s r.o. as safe, which means that the ESET, spol. s r.o. files will appear with a green background and that there's no removal checkbox for the file. However, as you can see in the scan results below, a few of the anti-virus scanners detects the ESET, spol. s r.o. file(s). My guess is that those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It is unlikely that ESET, spol. s r.o. would ship a malware file.

Here's the detection names for the ESET, spol. s r.o. files. I have grouped the detection names by each scanner engine. Thanks to VirusTotal for the scan results.
As mentioned above, I think these detections are incorrect since it is very unlikely that ESET, spol. s r.o. would ship a malware file.
