If you haven't tried ESET you've missed the best

Security and protection is what I expect from an anti virus application. I have been relying on ESET for more years than I can remember. When I first discovered this invaluable resource, it was relatively new and being developed, but it appealed to me because of the analytical approach and logical analysis and development of how and why. Eset also did not try to impose their solution, unlike many others (it's a crowded market - try to remove a trial version of other antivirus program! ). I had tried others, and have had serious problems removing them. I have not had any complaints from the many people I have recommended ESET to.

Very disappointed.

On 16/08/26 a.m., I went to pay for another year with the discount stated at 10% and couldn't get through only to find a bit later it had gone up a further $14 for my 1 device. I had waited for the earlier transaction which was slow, went for a dog walk for less than an hour and on returning, found the higher price.

Not impressed. WS

It is reasonably simple to use although there are several features that have been installed and I cannot find them to turn them off.

An easy clean install, with plus

It's an easy clean install. You can invite friends to share your account without giving them admin access. Simply add then as a member and an email is v sent to them to install their own ESET. When it comes time to renew subscription, just pay and everyone is renewed at the same time. As admin you can remove any unwanted systems

Never looked back

I originally purchased eset approx 20 years ago because my IT guy said it had a very small operating footprint but at the same time an extremely effective anti virus software. I run it on my phone and PC which remains switched on 24 7. I have never had virus problem with my devices.
