Renew Eset internet security or buy bitdefender ?
Hello,
If you are happy with ESET Internet Security you can certainly renew it. If you want to try something else, you can certainly do that, too.
I’m not sure how it works now, but it used to be that ESET offered renewal pricing if you renewed within 30 days of expiration. If that’s still the case, you might want to try Bitdefender for less than that period of time to decide which you like the most, and then make your decision about whether to stay with ESET or switch to Bitdefender.

Bitdefender has good protection levels but is pretty buggy and taxing on system resources and a bit basic in terms of UI and options you can customise for the price
I personally prefer either Kaspersky better security than bitdefender slightly and less taxing on the system + greater control over the application than Bitdefender
Eset is also another good option, protection levels slightly worse than Bitdefender and Kaspersky but is extremely light weight on resources and has an immense amount of control over the application and options to customise and tweak
It depends on what you need.
ESET is very light, but strong AV.
Bitdefender is heavy on system recourses in comparison, but has slightly stronger protection.
If the lightness of ESET is something you need, then stay with eset. If not, Bitdefender and Kaspersky have free versions of their AV. They’re just cut down versions of the paid products, but they still have the core features such as RTP and Behavioural analysis ect.
Here are the download links of you want to try them out.
I think my pc 32gb ram with ryzen 9 5900x , 3070 , not issue with Bitdefender
I need to manage kid devices too need more than 1 , will buy best available
but will wait until eset end ,
thanks for info
The heavy on resources is not remotely true. Yes it uses a couple hundred more megabytes of ram but less CPU. With a machine like yours with 32GB you won’t even notice it. Even systems with 8GB of ram is pretty much unnoticeable and you’ll get a pretty significant upgrade in malware detection abilities over ESET. Plus you can find Bitdefender on sale for significantly less money than ESET.
Bitdefender isn’t really heavy, but it is in comparison to Eset.
That’s what I said in my comment
Installed total security free trial . Focusing many devices
My 2 phones android and iPhone and my brother my pc and 2 children pc’s total 6 . I don’t know which highest version to compare total security or ultimate security plus ?
10 devices with free vpn . Vpn not necessary but good to add . Tested vpn great . But not necessary what highest version website confusing me
If your looking for strictly device counts the Family Pack is the highest and covers 15 devices. It’s the same feature list as Total Security.
Premium and Ultimate is 10 devices but adds Password Manager and Unlimited VPN, Ultimate adds Identity Protection for 1 person/SSN.
Family pack include unlimited vpn ?
No, it’s identical to Total Security and the others with 200MB a day. You can buy the VPN separately if you choose which is what I did and covers 10 devices connected concurrently. Newegg had it for like $20 a year and the nice thing with Bitdefender is you can stack 5 years of identical licenses on top of each other on your own. Most AVs don’t let you merge licenses or requires dealing with support.
In official website family pack 74.99 and vpn 39.99
Trying to find cheaper
Yeah right now is a bad time of the year. Black Friday is when the good discounts usually are. Newegg always has them for really cheap. I think I paid $33 for a 2 Year Family Pack and stacked 2 of those onto my Central account.
Either way it’s generally always cheaper and better to buy your licenses from a reseller like Amazon or Newegg than directly from the antivirus company.
I have nothing to harry can use free versions a while . I will compare price few months long way to next Black Friday. I’m tracking prices
Thx a lot
Sounds good, the free edition is limited to 3 Windows installs only per Central account, just an FYI.
My goal free version single install each device without account. Any available free not family account or central. While finding good price .
Thank you again
