Administrators Marcos 5,273 Posted April 20, 2021 Administrators Share Posted April 20, 2021 Please contact your local ESET distributor since each partner defines messages and the message type themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always purchase ESET NOD32 from Newegg. Are they considered my "local ESET distributor"? In the 8 years that I have been using ESET NOD32, I have never been told to contact my local distributor when I have a problem with the program. Thank you.

I purchased Eset DIRECTLY from Eset. Thanks for looking into this Marcos. In my case, the setting "Display Marketing Messages" was set to a question mark "?" (center of slider).

Hope it was a one-off. NOD32 Antivirus 14.0.22.0 Have you previously backed up settings and then reinstalled eset and then loaded the backed up settings? I could be wrong @Marcos but if my memory serves me correct there was a problem with this setting in the past. It wasn't being properly backed up/restored. When someone backed up the setting and then loaded it it would show as disabled but the user had to enable and then disable again as it wasn't properly saved EDIT Just found the link I remembered. Not sure if it's any good or related Edited April 21, 2021 by peteyt Page42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. TY for posting the link to the old related topic. It's worth toggling the setting from OFF to ON to OFF to see if that does anything. In my original post I commented that I hoped the message was a one-off, and so far, that is the case. Still a mystery as to why the marketing message appeared.

The OP purchased from Newegg as I have done in the past. You are e-mailed a license key and normally one would just do an Eset in-product license update. No need to export Eset settings, uninstall, re-install, and then import previous Eset settings. Edited April 21, 2021 by itman Page42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Solution Marcos 5,273 Posted April 21, 2021 Administrators Solution Share Posted April 21, 2021 @Page42, @MarcFLI've got a confirmation that it was a one-time US campaign. The message was not marked as a marketing one but due to a glitch it was displayed even if you had marketing messages disabled. We apologize for that and would like to make sure that your license is properly unsubscribed from receiving marketing messages. Therefore I would like to ask you to provide me with your public license ID for a check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
