FAQs

Everything You Might Want To Know

What is the difference between ESET Online Scanner and ESET HOME Security Essential Trial?

ESET Online Scanner is a one-time use tool to remove malware from your device but it does not provide real-time continuous protection against future threats.

ESET HOME Security Essential is all-in-one security suite that provides real-time protection against malware, spyware, phishing attacks, and ransomware. It provides continuous protection and updates to ensure that users are always protected against the latest threats. ESET Internet Security also includes features such as a firewall, anti-phishing, anti-theft, parental controls and much more.
