Lagan i efektivan antivirus.Mnogo značajki koje mogu biti podešene upravo po volji korisnika.Vrlo visok nivo detekcije, odličan antiphishing modul, snažan antimalware.Preporučujem baš svakome :)

ESET Customer Service - Linux AV NOD32
Windows User
I had a trial version of Eset AV for Linux. I purchased the product but was never sent the password, just the username. Repeated "chat" attempts could not resolve the issue and every time I requested the password, Eset would send the trial username & password and then send just the username, no password, for the purchased license. What kind of mental defects work there?

Het is echt een heel goed antivirusprogramma. Het heeft volgens diverse tests een goede detectie en werkt heel discreet op de achtergrond. Ik kan het alleen maar aanraden.

The program always ...
Windows User
The program always, but unobtrusively, keeps an eye on my computer and my data. When my attention is needed, I get a gentle nudge and information what I need to do. I like it, trust it, and will recommend it to others, including my family.
