I just updated my ESET Smart Security from version 8 to 9 by using the "Check for update" button in version 8. The install finished but then came up with the message, "Activation failed. Invalid license key." So, I entered in the key manually (the key starts with EAV, correct?). But it still says that it is invalid. I am running Windows 7. I am not using any sort of proxy server. While this is not activated, does it mean I am not protected? I'm very unhappy. Rick
