ESET doesn’t include encryption with all of their plans, only Smart Security Premium. Software updates aren’t automated; users must opt-in. And although ESET hasn’t had any security breaches, unlike many of its competitors, the company shares user data with third parties, including their IP addresses and internet activity. Only California residents can delete this data, leaving out most users.
