New Update ESET v19

And maybe it's a bit of a sales tactic, in that, "see, LiveGuard is working, helping to protect you, even if you think the files are safe" or just overly zealous? They are being submitted, right, and then restored when they've been approved?
The AVG installer is new. Just a few days old so I'm giving Eset a pass on that. But the Ikarus file and Xvirus were few months old and it should be cleared even from LiveGrid reputation but it's not.
 
I didn't want to renew (Premium), as my subscription ended this month.
Look @ the stacksocial ESET for a cheaper deal, it says ESET Home Essential but it installs ESET Internet Security not NOD32 to my surprise.

ESET Home Security Essential: 1-Year Subscription | StackSocial use TAKE20 for a 20% discount.

Sorry, sounds like I'm promoting this deal but I haven't found anything this cheap. I'm not sure where the seller gets the keys from but it activates fine.

I'm not totally sure but I think it depends on certain market that Eset IS=Home Security.

Thank you for that heads up, at that price I could afford to get a single key to have on hand. And I'm not in dire need of Premium with LiveGuard or the VPN, as I still have Proton VPN paid through later next year.
 
I'm starting to be annoyed with LiveGuard.
Yesterday it block the AVG online installer.
Today it blocked a DLL file from Ikarus T3.

I can see some pattern here....premium feature but yet blocking very obvious safe files.
I've had LiveGuard insist on analyzing seemingly every one of the huge number of files being decompressed by the installer for Laragon, an open source web development environment with a lot of users.

It's a neat idea, but considering how much I scrutinize files on my own anyway, increasingly I feel like I could thrive without it.

I hear you. I feel the same with Liveguard, can live without it. Livegrid should be enough for me.
 
I didn't want to renew (Premium), as my subscription ended this month. So on one laptop I'm using Avast free (no issues) and McAfee Total Protection on another, as I figured out a couple of glitches I was having and it's been working well since then.
Hí,

You use McAfee on your phone?
There is a half-year subscription for Mcafee, and a one-year subscription for Bitdefender.
I got it from my colleagues.
I couldn't decide whether to use one of these on my Android phone?

I just have McAfee on a laptop, and reinstalled F-Secure on the other laptop and have it on my phone. I rarely use my phone for anything but for phone calls, taking some photos and some texts. I am not a phone power user.

Between the two you mentioned, consider what protection features may be the most useful for you. For a PC, I won't use Bitdefender, to glitchy and overengineered IMO, and not as stable as McAfee.

And on an Android phone, Bitdefender is a good choice?
Detection rate is good for Bitdefender.
However, it uses a lot of RAM:500 MB.
Sometimes even higher than that:900 MB.
For me, phishing protection is important while browsing.
This is why I would use an app like this on my phone.
By the way, I use private DNS with filters:Chrome,NextDNS.

Since this is a ESET thread, it would be better if you asked your questions on the Bitdefender sub forum, we don't want to derail this thread any more ;) :)

Contacted Eset support and they confirmed the key is legit. I was able to register it under my email and they key was successfully added to Eset Home.
