ESET 2026/27 Subscription Renewal Period

Hello. Overall, I have been a satisfied ESET customer. However, I am disappointed at the much higher renewal subscription fees for your products. The cost increased to such a level, I needed to renew with a purchase of your lower level, basic programs. For several weeks after installation of the renewal, I received warning notices that my subscription expired, I was not protected, and I needed to renew. Eventually, I received notification that I needed to further install the security program. Once I completed this, the warning notices reduced in number. They now state how I should upgrade to get more security, etc.
As a longtime customer of your product, this latest renewal experience was unpleasant. Thank you for the opportunity to provide you feedback. PL

ESET Opinion

ESET, for me, is the best anti-virus protector for your computer. You can rely on it to protect your computer from all the threats than you could encounter on the internet. It is very reliable, and does not slow down your computer.

I appreciate ESET but ….,

I appreciate ESET. I have subscribed to ESET on and off for over 15 years. I rave to my friends about ESET and how it keeps my computer safe.

However, when I started ESET was $59 for 2 devices. It is now &91 plus. That’s is a family of 4’s grocery money for the week.

I am good till Jul 2027. I shall look for more economical options. $91 in this life we are in could fill up someone’s SUV.

Thank you for being a great protection but it is becoming very unaffordable!
