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.

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.

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.

We are committed to our clients’ satisfaction and therefore offer a generous 30-day return policy. If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, we will be happy to provide a full refund of the purchase price.

For more details, see our refund policy.

You can renew, enlarge or upgrade your subscription at any time.

1. Start by logging into your account using your activation key (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX).
2. To renew your subscription, select the “Extend” option and adjust the period or number of devices you’d like to cover.
3. 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.

Automatic renewal ensures that your ESET subscriptions and products are always up to date, providing continuous, year-round protection. We handle the billing and renewal for you.

By enabling automatic renewal, you agree that at the end of your subscription period, we will automatically renew your subscripton using the payment details currently on file. For more details, see our auto-renewal policy.

We will inform you about upcoming automatic renewal 30 days before your expiration date (for annual subscriptions) and after your subscription automatically renews, we will email you the transaction details.

You may cancel automatic renewal at any time. 

Automatic renewal is continuous, unless you turn it off after your purchase, via your account. Turning off auto-renew will not cancel your protection – your ESET protection will continue until your subscription expires. We will notify you before subscription expiration date so that you may renew manually.

You may cancel automatic renewal at any time.

Start by logging into your account using your activation key (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX). Use the “Auto-Renew” slider to cancel the renewal of your subscription and Confirm your selection.
