Why ESET?

When it comes to protecting home or home office computers, a growing number of users are choosing ESET antivirus software. Here's why:

It's effective

ESET solutions are the most effective proactive protection you can buy to combat today's huge volumes of web and email-borne threats. ESET's award-winning ThreatSense® technology has multiple layers of threat detection to deliver the most effective protection possible against new attacks with the fewest false positives (false alarms).

ESET has the most VB100 awards (54) for its ability to detect "In-the-Wild" viruses. In fact ESET has not missed an In-the-Wild virus in over 10 years
ESET is a consistent top-performer in AV-Comparatives Proactive Detection tests
ESET was named "Best Antivirus Product" for 2006 and 2007 and won "Best Overall Performance" by AV-Comparatives, an independent testing organization.

It's fast

ESET antivirus software is so fast you won't even know it's there. It uses only 44-48MBs of memory, so if you're replacing existing antivirus protection, you may find some applications run faster.

It's easy to use

From its compact and intuitive user interface to its minimal use of alerts, you'll be up and running in minutes.

It has free and comprehensive customer support

ESET provides an online user manual and FAQs along with a lively user forum, as well as email and telephone customer support.
