    petar received kudos from FranceBB in ESET 8 for Linux has a totally useless User Interface   
    Hello
    I don't doubt that there is real-time protection. It just doesn't work on my Linux computer.
    The installed EEA shows the security warning: Real-time file protection is not functional.
    The OS is Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. Secure Boot is switched on and should stay that way.
    ESET wants private users to migrate to the EEA business software. It turns out that EEA v8 is only designed for the client. If private users want to scan their OS for viruses, they are forced to purchase ESET Protect.
    ESET Protect is currently being offered by ESET for € 380.56.
    Now it's getting interesting. According to Mail, the migration from Linux Antivirus to EEA is free as long as the subscription for ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux Desktop is valid. In my opinion that is only half the story. In reality, the replacement product EEA is restricted in its functionality. The user cannot freely decide whether to run a virus scan, for example. All the functions of the ESET NOD32 Antivirus are not available in the EEA.
    And what happens when the subscription has expired? If the Linux user wants to continue using ESET for Linux, is it forced to purchase the much more expensive ESET Protect?
    Do ESET name the end of life for ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux?
    No one from ESET has yet commented on this.
    My subscription will continue to run for a while and as long as every user has the right to full functionality, as implemented in ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux.
    I find ESET's business conduct very questionable.

    It would not let me use my protonmail address. @pm.me
    The email:
    I had a home license I think, but it's now a business license. I upgraded because, why not? If that is what it's going to be, then fine. But there are no options, you cannot even manually scan. 
    I have a brand new machine 5800x 32gb ram and nvme drive. It's very fast. Until today lol. It takes like 30 seconds to open terminal. Neofetch took almost a minute to grab info vs about a second before. I use PopOS 21.04.

    I will DM you the license.
