review

As far as I know ESET has offices in Toronto and San Di ego. I see no reason at all why one has to deal with someone on another continent. There is most certainly capable people in Canada or US to answer any concerns I might have.

Your system is way too complicated and getting assistance is even worst. This is not made for the comon people. I only signed up again because it was easier than shopping for something different but I will not subscribe for another year when this one expire.

Good product

Good product, however with an ESET update it showed a new account added to login screen that confused the office and had to have a computer Tech inhouse to figure it out. The Tech Finally figured out it wasn't a hacker but from ESET (Ghost account) that was added without proper notification. Cost me extra fees to have the Tech figure it out and remove from login in screen. Not happy about the extra payment required!

Peace of mind

This is a very reliable program and I’ve been using it for several years. Easy to renew with 3 time options and if I need them, I can reach out to a customer service person (I’ve not needed to do that). I feel that my devices are always protected and as long as updates are done when I’m notified, I feel at ease.
Highly recommend E-SET

Reminder Notice and selection was great

Reminder notice was great, on-line renewal made simple to understand and options available made it easy to decide which was best for me. It's very affordable compared to competitors out there.

I have used ESET for over 10 years. Protection has never failed.
I recently wished only to pay for subscription renewal with a new credit card. It was interpreted as a "new subscription", I think. I found no way to correct this.
Furthermore your stupid feedback site does not allow me to correct the date so I lied.

Great product but no Linux

I really like the product but i'm swapping to linux and because they don't have support for that i am now stuck with expensive subscriptions I can't use

Would love to continue if ESET adds support for Linux distros

Thank you for your review.

As you rightly pointed out, our software is not available for home users on Linux, so it cannot be used in that environment. We understand that this may limit your options if you switch to Linux.

Support for Linux is only available through our business subscription.
