What is included in the all-in-one protection plans?
Our all-in-one protection plans consist of different combinations of products and features. This depends on the level of protection they provide. As a result, the name of the specific product you activate under the all-in-one protection plan may differ from the name of the all-in-one protection plan. More information on what is included in a specific subscription plan is available here.

These features seamlessly integrate into our new subscription tiers alongside all the features you already rely on, which remain intact.
Can I still purchase NOD32 Antivirus?
Yes, you can! Our legendary ESET NOD32 Antivirus is available for purchase here.
By the way, NOD32 technology remains at the core of all our security products, including all ESET HOME Security plans. It's the legendary foundation that has propelled us into being a leading name in cybersecurity. With a proud history of more than 100 prestigious VB100 awards, we are committed to continuing the story of NOD32, ensuring it is continually enhanced with additional layers of protection to remain as effective as ever in protecting your digital life.

Does ESET protect against types of malware such as ransomware?
You bet it does! ESET offers full protection against all forms of malware, including ransomware, spyware, keyloggers and adware. While Ransomware Shield detects and blocks threats, Ransomware Remediation (available in ESET HOME Security Ultimate and ESET Small Business Security) automatically backs up and restores.
Can I get a refund if I am not totally satisfied?
We are committed to client satisfaction and offer a generous 30-day return policy. If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, we’ll happily provide a full refund of the purchase price.
For more details, see our refund policy.
How can I renew or add additional devices to my subscription?
You can renew, enlarge or upgrade your subscription at any time.
- Start by logging into your account using your activation key (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX).
- To renew your subscription, select the “Extend” option and adjust the period or number of devices you’d like to cover.
- If you wish to add additional devices under the original expiration date, select “Enlarge” and adjust the number of devices you’d like to cover. We’ll match the expiry date and calculate the pro-rated price for your extra devices.
If these options are not present in your account, it’s likely that your subscription has already expired. If this is the case, we recommend purchasing a new subscription.
Watch the video guide on how to renew or add additional devices to your subscription.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Auto-renew is continuous, unless you turn it off after purchase (via your account). Turning off auto-renew will not cancel your subscription – your ESET protection will continue until your subscription expires. We will notify you before expiration so that you may renew manually.
You can cancel automatic renewal at any time.
- Begin by logging into your account using your activation key (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX).
- Proceed to the Subscription Management page, where you may use the “Auto-Renew” slider to cancel the renewal of your subscription.
