ESET Antivirus Reviews

ESET used to be AV that I recommended my student use as they had to use software that clashed with most other Anti-Virus protection but not with NOD32. Now, 15 years after I started using it, and after literally hundreds of recommendations to students, friends, and family, I find ESET absolutely terrible. It does not warn that turning OFF certain options can take effect only after reboot (but it does warn you when you turn them back on), leading to much wasted time, frustration, crashed workstation and so on. From reliable to absolute worst over night. Did MS take over the company? It certainly appears so. Oh, and I still haven't managed to use my external drive due to ESET's paranoid approach and I still have warning messages about my HDD, microphone, camera, and whatnot, popping up like crazy. And the software is called "Internet protection" now? Where did the AntiVirus go?

Eset collaborating with the Microsoft, trashing the pc-s. So far was not problem to run multi version os Windows. If you any reason reinstall windows 10 not able to reinstall Eset. Eset customer service does not help.

I purchased ESET Ultimate with identity protection. Everything was fine until I bought a new computer. I attempted to login and received a message that my computer was not recognized. It told me to enter my credentials for a temporary authorization code. Program kept telling me that no such email was found. I called technical support several times and was told my account wasn’t found. Eset could not provide a solution. I no longer have access to the financial information I entrusted Eset with. What a lousy company.

Billed in error - cannot get attention. I have been trying for 2 months to get a refund for a business service I signed up for in error. I reached out within days to Eset, who explained that all I needed was the home edition, which I subscribed for. At the same time they stopped the service on the business account, but I have not received any refund, despite numerous attempts to contact them (calls that no one ever answers and 10 emails. I received an initial response, but now complete silence.

I accepted a free trial and installed it in my PC and cel, they emailed me stating that my trial was almost over, with a link to buy. In the meantime on my cel, the buying was automatic through the play store, after the trial period and renewable yearly... I find this kind of behavior unacceptable and in my opinion bordering in fraud. Could care less about how good is their antivirus.

I was quite impressed with Eset. I have never have a antivirus company work so hard to correct my issues with a virus. They worked for a day fixing my computer remotely. They corrected the infected files, restored my computer back to way it was. I highly recommend this antivirus to anyone who is serious about having the best there is.

First, I do use the product for many years, and it does work. I have for over a year now been wanting to get a back up disc from them to load in our growing offline computers. So I chose today to make another attempt to contact them, as previous attempts all failed. Well, I spent most of the day listening to music. The fist time I got thru the gentleman was going to consult with someone else, then the line went dead. I called back, listened to music, then I think the system just hangs up on you. This happened 3 times in a row. Then I thought I would be smart and try online. The chat lady said my account could only be handled by calling a specific number, which turned out to be Eset in Canada. I never was able to get what I needed from Eset, I fixed my problem my own way, I have no choice. I deal with many companies, most of them are great to work with, Eset has the worst service I have seen in years. w

ESET NOD32 Antivirus can be a free service. By now I bought a license for all my devices. The big advantages is that you don't notice them. If you need it they provide reports on number of items scanned, tracks system changes and ability to revert it.

Eset has picked up viruses that others e.g. McAfee missed. The fact that they update continually gives them a distinct advantage for a reasonable price. I have instances of bringing a removable drive home from an institution where I teach. Their anti-virus did not find anything, yet, when inserted onto my home desktop the drive was found to have been infected.

I just installed ESET, and so far I think it's doing a great job, I feel I can trust ESET to guard my Android phone against viruses, and other bad things, I pay for the app, but I feel comfortable in doing so, and they are a reputable company.

I've been using Eset antivirus only on my laptop and cell phones for over 8 years. I think it set above others because I never got a virus, customer service is excellent, the system never crashes when sending updates, the price is the best and the design on the box is very tecky. I worked in the technology profession for over 30 years and other antiviruses affected our network, slowed it down and eventually shut it down. In my course work, we researched other anti-virus and after I referred Eset, my class agreed 100%.

ESET provides complete protection, even when you have no idea you need it. I cannot count the times when they ferreted out a threat to my system without me even realizing some one was trying to access me. I have no idea what might have happened had they been successful but do know that it would not have been good. We live in a rather close knit community and we walk everyday so we talk with our neighborhood friends quite often. It is not unusual to hear about one of them being a victim of identity theft thru their online programs. Since we switched to ESET several years ago and also have suggested ESET to some of our neighbors, none of us have had any unwanted access problems.

The worst experience ever with an antivirus product. The support is abominable. I bought the product for three devices for two years. Do not even a year yet and the product will not update. Email the support team, call the support team and the only replies that I get are trivial excuses. I paid a good money for the product I will never ever get this product again. Abominable, repugnant despicable service.

Like insects and dust mites, the viruses creep into your computer home and spins a web or bite into your hard drive sucking info like mosquitoes at a blood bar. After a loss of data and speed, not the law-breaking kind, I started to Google for an online virus and malware scanners. ESET was on the list but unknown to me and subsequently not my first choice. But being open-minded to safeguard my data and ease my PC's mood swings I tried Eset.

We have never requested ESET but suddenly it appeared on our home computer. No idea where it came from, never received any information about it, no options given about whether to accept it or not... Overall these actions are more like virus/malware than a program which is supposed to protect. Begone!

This application violates my security privacy on Android. I had downloaded it from APKPURE and it asks me to install Google Chrome? GET OUT OF HERE ESET! I Don't want Google to leak my security on Android! Now, I feel completely miserable about having my Android device! No paradise garden, no blessing from my God, Jehovah! Everything else that was mobile had been corrupting my spiritual health! I should have not bought Android from Verizon Wireless!

What a surprise to find that a corporation like ESET (always liked their products) sends out a package into USA with threats. Their legal department couldn't even find that the company using their logo wasn't my company. Just because part of the company name is identical, they should have been careful checking before sending that letter out. I contacted by phone and couldn't get a person that knew anything about the matter. Contacted by email and got no replies. This shows lack of quality on what they do and forced me to change my mind regarding their products. It is really a shame that not even an apology was issued! It is a huge risk to send out something like this randomly out to any company!

I've used several other anti-viral software both at home and at work. None of them worked well or fulfilled their promised function. I heard from some super IT acquaintances about ESET and decided to make the plunge. I've been using it for about five years now and haven't been the least disappointed. It's relatively inexpensive for what you get and you have plenty of choices that are tailored for your specific platform. It's easy to download and the few times I've needed technical support, I had no problem on that score. I'd recommend it to anyone and have done so.

Very confident in what they do and in their product. I've had to contact customer service and they were very helpful with my move from PC to iMac. Frequent updates keep me protected.

ESET is the best on the market! Easy to use, not hard on resources. Price is easy on wallet. Bought my mom a subscription and she can use it with ease.

ESET came with my laptop and only when I didn't renew in time did I have a problem with the computer... was hit with a virus. So I've stuck with ESET.

ESET was recommended to me by a relative, who's company he worked for used due to sensitive information was used on a daily basis on products they manufactured and for protection of gov't contracts for said products. I never experienced any problems with ESET and use it to monthly to run PC checks to detect any malicious malware I might accidentally get while online. It also creates a second protective wall while using any banking or credit websites I use daily.

ESET has been my go to AV for years. It has the smallest footprint of all the AV companies. Won't hog your memory and will find nasties that others will miss.

I have never had to call ESET in all the time I have this antivirus software because I have never had one problem with it in four years. You literally have to do nothing. It just does it. I am online very often and never had a virus.

Very small program. Easy to use. Unfortunately they don't have a Mac product but their Windows product is the best you can buy. I have used it for many years.

I've needed to contact them only once, when I got a rootkit infection. They upgraded my version of NOD-32 to the latest, then disinfected my system. No problems. The latest version not only blocks malware, it even blocks and removes boot-sector malware and scans any drives I plug in, and it's updated several times a day. Two years of first-rate protection at $50.99 is a better deal than pretty-good protection for free. It never gives me any trouble, and it always works. It does not slow down my computer, the way that some A-V software does.

I had prepaid 2 years of this service for mac security and the program from it beginning had constant activation problem, therefore can't be used. Contacting the company by email produces, several days later, an automated email and after some weeks to months eventually a phone number is offered which no one can be reached despite hours of being on hold. The support pretty much to my experience does not exist. I have months of email communications with ESET for the same problem. Company does not refund prepaid service.
