    Beats Bitdefender anyday.

    Edit: Does look a bit suss as it's only a license key and coming from an @gmail.com

        Someone probably got hold of a stack of cards from when ESET was giving them away earlier in the year.

      The campaign in run by this advertising agency which lists ESET as one of their clients. The gmail return address is very unprofessional though, and that's not counting the sender name which is "Site Name". Brave must have let an intern handle some aspects of this campaign. :P

      • Clear on 09/12/2015 - 18:31

        Looks like an intern developed their site too.

    • SuperMrBlob on 09/12/2015 - 20:47

      All the tests seem to say the opposite is true: check here and here.

      Why do you say this is better than BitDefender?

      • Clear on 09/12/2015 - 22:48

        It's scored 100% for several years in a lot of tests like AV-Test and it's the oldest on the market. My personal experience is a factor too. I've used multiple products in a corporate environment with 1000 seats and it's been the best so far. Their Endpoint products are the only ones I've seen that have successfully stopped Cryptolocker, Cryptowall etc and the recent Kryptik and Dridex trojans making the rounds.

      • kasp on 11/12/2015 - 20:31

        Most av tests are bs and skewed to the comapny that funds them.

        Its so easy to bs the results.

  • polar on 09/12/2015 - 15:30

    Thanks. Needed one of these.

    • Tehcookiemonsta on 09/12/2015 - 15:37

      Hope you don't plan on selling them…

      you could always use a VPN :)

      • Clear on 09/12/2015 - 15:39

        Your name, email and phone number get attached to the license. Good way to sell your personal information.

          Which is why I gave a fake name, my disposable email and a fake phone number.

        Was just curious. They'll probably all get revoked once Eset finds out.

        • [Deactivated] on 09/12/2015 - 15:43

          Highly doubt they'd require users to send ID/Passport for validity.

      • r0xz on 09/12/2015 - 16:09

        yea - the email filtering is embedded in the javascript source code. :P

        • lolcoaster on 09/12/2015 - 16:13

          Fortunately, hotmail/outlook allows for the really quick creation of aliases so getting an [email protected] one was easy.

    It is somehow dodgy - the website has no history, license is sent from gmail address… Out of curiosity I registered and got my license but not sure what to think about this.

      The site is registered to these guys www.brave.com.au They list ESET as a client.
      Anyway use a throwaway email because ESET is totally worth it!

      • searedtuna on 09/12/2015 - 17:34

    1. Right click -> Inspect Element
    2. Click "Console", enter the following:
    3. newSubscriber('First name', 'Last name', '[email protected]', 0435123456);
    4. Press enter

  • Clear on 09/12/2015 - 17:05

    With ESET saying it's legit I think I've worked it out.

    ESET did a roadshow nationwide and were giving out physical copies of ESET Internet Security. With that roadshow now over ESET/ARN/CRN have a lot of spare keys lying around…

    • r0xz on 09/12/2015 - 17:07

        That would be it. They're unloading their spare keys.

      Pretty dodgy coming from a security company.

      • Clear on 09/12/2015 - 17:49

        CRN and ARN hosted the events and had the copies supplied by ESET. It's more likely to be them than ESET. Any partner is welcome to give out free copies as well.

        • lolcoaster on 09/12/2015 - 18:48

    • Clear on 09/12/2015 - 18:35

      You should never use 2 antivirus products together. ESET will outperform Windows Defender anyway.

      • Armin65 on 09/12/2015 - 23:03

        True, but was wondering if I need to uninstall Windows Defender first or not?

          It's inbuilt feature of Windows. It usually disables itself after another AV has been installed.
