Frequently Asked Questions from Customers

ESET is particularly appreciated for its balance between protection and lightness. In practice, it is a good choice if you want real-time defence without overloading your PC, with anti-phishing tools and controls that vary depending on the package.

The ‘real’ comparison should be based on three factors: 

  • the level of protection you need (antivirus only or complete suite), 
  • impact on device performance, 
  • extra features (web protection, parental controls, device management). 

If your PC is outdated or you work with heavy software, lightness can count as much (or more) as a long list of features.

For personal use, the most common choices are:

  • NOD32 Antivirus if you want essential protection and performance.
  • Internet Security if you browse a lot, shop online and want more comprehensive web defences (depending on the version).

In a ‘small business’ context, first consider the number of devices (PC/Mac/Android) and the type of use (browsing/email only or also data management). Generally, it is best to choose a package that covers multiple devices and includes web protection and simpler management. If you need centralised policies and consoles, you are usually entering the business world: in that case, it is advisable to evaluate dedicated solutions.

Check these points:

  • Protection status: the programme's home page should indicate ‘Protected’ (or equivalent).
  • Updates: check that the database/threats are up to date.
  • Manual scan: run a full scan and check the final report.
  • Notifications: ensure that notifications are not disabled so that you do not miss any important alerts.

For secure access:

  • Only use the official page indicated by the product or instructions.
  • Enable multi-factor authentication if available.
  • Avoid public Wi-Fi networks when managing licences and devices.

If you cannot log in: first try resetting your password from the login page, then check that the email address you used is the same as the one associated with the licence. If your account is blocked or not recognised, use the official recovery procedure or contact support (ESET or ESD Codes) with the error message and a screenshot.

  1. Activate: open the product → Licence/Activate section → enter the product key → confirm.
  2. Renew: when applicable, add a renewal or enter a new key; then check that the expiry date is updated in the ‘Licence’ screen.

Free keys distributed online by third parties are often unauthorised or invalid. The legal option is to use any official trials or purchase a licence from reputable retailers. If you want to save money, look for genuine offers and verifiable stores, not key dumps or generators.

Yes, if you install the correct version for macOS and keep the product and operating system up to date. On Mac, ‘digital hygiene’ is also important: updates, app permissions, and caution with downloads.

If we are talking about a ‘small business’ in the operational sense (few Macs, simple management), it may be suitable. However, if you need centralised control, policies and advanced reporting, it is worth considering dedicated business suites.

In general, the comparison should be made based on your hardware and usage: on older PCs, the lighter one often wins; on modern machines, the difference may be minimal. The best way is to compare: full scan, CPU/RAM usage during normal work, and number of notifications/interruptions.

Parental controls (when included in the package or available as a module) are used to manage usage time, website/app categories and browsing protection for minors. Their effectiveness depends on the configuration: if you set clear rules, a strong PIN and regular monitoring, it is a useful tool; if you leave it at the default settings, it only reduces some of the risks.

The online scanner is useful as an ‘on demand’ check when you want a second verification or when you suspect an infection. Recommended workflow:

  • Download the tool from the official link.
  • Close any unnecessary programmes.
  • Start the scanner and select full scan.
  • Once the scan is complete, apply the recommended actions (quarantine/removal) and restart if requested.

Check these criteria:

  • Store transparency: company data, policies, real support.
  • Delivery methods: emails with clear instructions and references.
  • Secure payments: reliable protections and systems.
  • Product consistency: number of devices, licence duration, supported platforms.
  • Be wary of ‘impossible prices’: these often correspond to invalid or unauthorised licences.

ESD Codes is one of the most reliable stores where you can purchase your antivirus key online.
