These subscriptions have been replaced with our new subscription tiers: ESET HOME Security Essential and ESET HOME Security Premium.

Using the same award-winning multilayered technology trusted by over 1 billion users worldwide, our new plans offer a range of options to suit the number of devices you wish to protect per year. All-in-one protection plans are also compatible across all major operating systems. Learn more about our recent privacy and identity protection enhancements here.

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.

Our new all-in-one protection plans will elevate your privacy and security to new heights, thanks to powerful features like the Virtual Private Network (VPN), Identity Protection and the Browser Privacy & Security extension. These features seamlessly integrate into our new subscription tiers alongside all the features you already rely on, which remain intact.

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.

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

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.
