How to Activate Your ESET Subscription

Multilayered Antivirus — Real-Time AI Protection
Continuously monitors devices, web traffic, and emails against viruses, malware, spyware, trojans, worms, and adware in real time. ESET's multilayered engine combines machine learning, cloud sandbox analysis, and behavioural detection to block threats — including never-before-seen malware — before they execute.

Ransomware Shield
Detects and blocks ransomware attacks that attempt to encrypt your personal files and demand payment for access. Monitors application behaviour for ransomware-like patterns and blocks them before any data is locked — protecting photos, documents, and financial records.

Secure Banking Browser — Encrypted Keyboard Input
A dedicated secure browser mode activates automatically when you visit online banking, cryptocurrency wallets, and payment sites. Communication between your keyboard and the browser is encrypted — blocking keyloggers from capturing passwords, card numbers, and credentials. A secured layer that goes beyond standard HTTPS protection.

Anti-Phishing and Antispam
Blocks phishing websites that impersonate banks, government services, and brands to steal credentials. Antispam filters unwanted and malicious email at the source — reducing inbox clutter and protecting against email-delivered malware and fraud.

Firewall and Network Inspector
ESET's advanced firewall monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic — blocking unauthorized access attempts and suspicious connections. The Network Inspector scans your home router and connected smart devices for known vulnerabilities, alerting you to security gaps in your Wi-Fi network before attackers exploit them.

Webcam Protection and Microphone Monitor
Alerts you when any application attempts to access your webcam or microphone — giving you control over which apps can record audio or video, and blocking unauthorized access attempts. Prevents spyware and stalkerware from using your devices' cameras and microphones without your knowledge.

Anti-Theft — Lock and Locate Missing Devices
If a covered device is lost or stolen, Anti-Theft lets you remotely lock it, display a message on screen, and track its location — helping recover devices and preventing unauthorized access to your data. Managed through the ESET HOME portal.

IoT Protection — Secure Your Smart Home
Extends protection to smart TVs, smart home hubs, connected cameras, and other IoT devices on your home network — monitoring for vulnerabilities and suspicious behaviour from devices that traditionally have no built-in security software.

Gamer Mode — Uninterrupted Performance
Detects when a game or full-screen application is running and automatically postpones scan alerts, notifications, and update prompts — so you are never interrupted during gaming, streaming, or presentations. ESET protection continues running silently in the background.

ESET HOME — Centralized Device Management
All covered devices are managed through the ESET HOME web portal and mobile app — view security status, manage subscriptions, share device coverage with family members, and receive monthly security reports. One account covers all your devices regardless of operating system.

VPN — Unlimited Bandwidth, All Devices
The included VPN encrypts your internet connection on any network — public Wi-Fi at hotels, airports, cafés, and any network you do not control. Your browsing activity, location, and IP address are hidden from network operators, your internet provider, and third-party trackers. Unlimited bandwidth means no data caps or speed throttling. Available on up to 5 devices per subscription (3-device plans) or up to 10 devices (larger plans).

Password Manager — Secure, Autofill, Cross-Device
The built-in password manager generates, stores, and autofills strong unique passwords across all your covered devices — browsers on Windows, macOS, and Android. Eliminates the risk of reused or weak passwords across websites and services. Your password vault is encrypted and accessible only with your master password — ESET cannot see your stored credentials.

Small System Footprint — Light on Resources
ESET's signature lightweight architecture uses minimal CPU, RAM, and bandwidth — designed to run invisibly in the background without slowing down older hardware. Small incremental update packages extend hardware life and save bandwidth.

Monthly Security Reports
ESET HOME generates and delivers monthly security reports summarizing threat detections, device status, and security events across all protected devices — keeping you informed of your household's security posture without having to check each device individually.
