It was easy to get the protection I wanted. I've never had a problem ever since I've used ESET. The only difficulty is that it's cumbersome to just do one manual renewal period rather than the defau... See more

In my opinion it's "MEH".

It came installed on my machine. I still have NEVER used it. No help whatsoever.
Don't know what I'm paying for. No quick explanation, constant restarts and up-selling. I would have preferred a quarterly review and clean up. I HATE windows and am leaving as soon as my Win 10 extension is up.

I feel protected

I feel protected, get alerts on time, have been using them for years across multiple machines and never been hacked or had any security issues. Would be great if they lowered their prices a bit, but what can you do

Still the best after 15 years

Eset is an exceptional product. User friendly, offers cutting edge protection, doesn’t slow my laptop down and is a very good value. I’ve first used Eset for a business about fifteen years ago and currently for my personal needs. It’s never let me down.

The instructions for adding VPN were not easily understood or clear.
Ultimately, I found a video tutorial on-line that explained the process clearly.
