Can I try ESET before buying?

Yes! A free 30-day trial can be downloaded here.

Can I protect mobile phones or multiple operating systems with my ESET subscription?

Definitely. ESET HOME Security Essential, ESET HOME Security Premium and ESET HOME Security Ultimate are multi-platform solutions. Use them to secure all your Windows, macOS and Android devices under one subscription—simply select how many devices you wish to protect, and enjoy powerful digital security.

Can ESET protect my iPhone or iPad?

Currently, ESET does not provide an antivirus solution for iOS. However, select privacy & identity protection features are available for both iPhones and iPads. Read more about how to protect your iPhone and iPad.

Can I get a refund if I am not totally satisfied?

We are committed to client satisfaction and offer a generous 30-day return policy. If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, we’ll happily provide a full refund of the purchase price.

For more details, see our refund policy.

How can I renew or add additional devices to my subscription?

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.

How do I cancel my automatic renewal?

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.
