Why choose ESET Security instead of free antivirus software?
While we’d always recommend you have something rather than nothing, most free antivirus software won’t protect you from every single threat.
Our own free malware scanner is a great starting point, but to protect every aspect of your system from malicious software, data theft and more, you’ll need full coverage. ESET security software offers protection across multiple platforms & devices. It has anti-theft protection and security features designed to protect your financial data and personal information. Our technology also employs machine learning to help protect you from both existing and emerging threats.
Can I do a free malware or virus scan first?
Absolutely. You can download our anti-malware scanner first if you just want to run a quick check. While our free scanner does offer ongoing protection, our full internet security suite is advised for full protection.
Does ESET protect against malware like 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.
