Regards It should be fine else Eset v9.x wouldn't offer to do the install. However, between major version changes I like to do a clean install. It's a personal choice unless directed otherwise. For me, I have the opportunity to start with fresh rules and settings.

I generally do a clean install. It's been my experience that a clean install is always better than an upgrade install. However, in the case of the upgrade from ESET SS v9 to ESET SS v10, I didn't see a download link for ESET SS v10; I saw download links for ESET Internet Security and ESET Smart Security Premium. I wasn't sure what was the correct download for an upgrade from ESET SS v9. So, I let the installed program sort it out. It seems as though ESET is somewhat moving away from ESET SS and nudging customers to their two new products. Does ESET have a specific download link for ESET Smart Security v10? If they do, I don't see it. I made one attempt to download the ESET installer, but it didn't specify what version of ESET products it was going to install. Regards Edited April 25, 2017 by tjg79
