I agree. Best Buy and MicroCenter also sell the same version here in the U.S.. One possibility is that they changed the installer to enable Gamer mode in real-time protection. The default setting is paused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESET Moderators Aryeh Goretsky 378 Posted January 28, 2021 ESET Moderators Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hello, While I am not familiar with the specifics of this particular version of the software, I can confirm it is a legitimate version of ESET's software available through partners of ESET. Special releases like this are done through ESET's business development team—at one point my office was just down theirs, and I remember them mentioning something about it. If you are interested in providing a specialized solution to your customers (not just this, but things like secure USB solutions, mail scanning appliances, etc.) I would suggest contacting them.

total 4 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Interesting answers..... "it doesn't seem a..." "One possibility is..." "I am not into laws exactly..." "While I am not familiar ..." So, in fact nobody knows for sure what is this about , starting from regular OP to ESET Moderators. Maybe we should ask the question directly to ESET CEO????

And yet you missed the most important point of my post that I don't work for ESET and I am just a User Even so you are still talking about a product that you didn't use or buy and isn't being offered in your country. So if you have bought this product and you feel that you have been mislead by the design of the box , you can request a refund and get your money back , I bet ESET won't deny you that , and if you still feeling mislead , hire your favorite lawyer in town and sue ESET in the area that sells that product.
