Auto renewal automatically applied and too many emails!

After subscribing I didn’t like that it put it in auto renewal as a default and I had to figure out how to turn that off. Also, started receiving daily emails that were super annoying. The program itself is great but, the deceptive auto renewal and multiple emails after purchase were super annoying and would make me consider not renewing when it expires.

Hello, we apologize for the inconvenience.
Once you have placed your order, you can disable auto-renewal by logging in to the ESET eStore with your activation key. Once logged in, simply switch the 'Auto-Renewal' setting to 'Off'. Confirm your selection and click the 'Save settings' button.

After completing your order, you will receive an email containing your activation key and instructions on how to get started. If you order a new subscription, you will need to create an ESET Home account. You may therefore receive some emails during the first few days after your purchase.

If you continue to receive marketing emails afterwards, you can unsubscribe by clicking the 'Unsubscribe' link at the bottom of any ESET email.

If you need assistance at any time, please feel free to contact our support team. If you would like, you can update your review at any time. We appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

I was a little disappointed that the cost of the online version was more expensive than what a person can get at Best Buy.

My review of ESET Anti Virus/Internet Security

I heard about ESET Internet Security from a friend a few years ago. As our old subscription wasabout to expire, I wanted to try a newer and one that made fewer demands on my computer.

After checking out 3 or 4 antivirus review sites, ESET came out on top. So I bought it a year ago and just renewed it for my second year.

They did everything that needed to be done!

When I had trouble understanding how to install the system, I let the ESET technician take control of my mouse and he magically did everything that needed to be done, even installed my new VPN! Thank you so much for the awesome help! The security system is working fine and I love the VPN!

I am very disappointed

I was very disappointed with your company if your Help Line is indicative of your company policy and culture. I was considering upgrading and had a question. The Help Line staffer told me that that my current Nor32 antivirus would not work properly on my Windows 11 platform and that I had to cancel the antivirus and buy a more expensive package to get the antivirus coverage I wanted. I did not appreciate the attempt at a forced upgrade. I told right then that I wanted to cancel and he just hung up on me. If I could have cancelled everything, I would have, but I found out that you refuse to give refunds, even for unscrupulous selling practices.
