ESET HOME Security Premium Original Annual License for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS

Fast Email Delivery, Official Guarantee and Free Technical Support

Available for 1, 3, 5 or more devices and in different durations: select the variant you need among those on this page.

ESET HOME Security Premium adds a password manager and sensitive data encryption to antivirus protection, that is what it takes for a lost laptop to stay an expense instead of becoming a disaster, with coverage for up to 10 devices. It is designed for professionals and families holding confidential documents on their computer or USB sticks who want them protected even if these are lost. The license is annual and is delivered by email with the activation code.

Why choose ESET HOME Security Premium

ESET built its reputation on a simple principle: an antivirus should protect without being noticed. Its engine is among the lightest in the sector and keeps working well on computers with a few years behind them, where other suites make the system slow and frustrating to use.

The difference from Essential concerns data, not threats. An antivirus prevents a harmful program from entering the computer, but it does not protect a confidential document if the laptop is stolen or a stick is left on a train. Encryption solves exactly that: without the key, the content stays unreadable.

What ESET HOME Security Premium is and what it is for

ESET HOME Security Premium includes all of Essential's protection, lightweight antivirus, ransomware defence, protected online banking and home network control, and adds two tools dedicated to personal data.

The password manager keeps credentials and card details in an encrypted vault synchronised across devices, fills them in automatically and generates strong, different passwords for every service. Encryption creates protected archives for confidential documents and removable media: anyone who obtains the file or the stick without the key cannot read its content.

The password manager: how you actually get started

• The master password is the only one to remember
  It opens all the others and cannot be recovered: if you forget it, nobody can give it back. You choose it long and meaningful to you, and write it once on paper kept in a locked drawer.
• You start by importing the browser ones
  Chrome, Edge and Firefox export the saved passwords into a file. The manager reads them in one go, and from that moment they are removed from the browser, which is not the right place to keep them.
• You do not change them all on day one
  You start from mail, bank and main account: if the mailbox falls, all the others fall too, because that is where the recoveries arrive. The rest is updated as you sign into the sites.
• New passwords are generated by the program
  Twenty random characters nobody has to remember, different on every site. That is the whole point of the tool: the long password becomes free.
• Two-step verification is still necessary
  Even with perfect passwords, a service offering a second factor should have it switched on. The manager guards the password, it does not prevent somebody using it somewhere else.
• Credentials are shared without dictating them
  An account two people need is shared inside the program, instead of being passed by message. When one of the two leaves, it is revoked.
• File encryption is a separate thing
  This edition also encrypts folders and USB sticks. It is for the documents that leave the office: a lost stick without encryption is a folder handed to whoever finds it.
• What happens if you stop renewing
  The passwords stay in the database and can be exported. It pays to do it before the expiry, not after: a calm export avoids an evening spent recovering accounts.
