Sp0rk 0 Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 so I have seen this message (or at least something very similar) a couple of times now "marketing" ESET Home despite me having marketing messages turned off, how do I stop this? I only want it to show messages if something is wrong, I DO NOT want it to try and get me to sign up or sign in to something regardless of whether a cost is associated with it or not, while I understand what ESET Home is and what it does, I'm not interested, stop it.
Administrators Marcos 5,466 Posted October 29, 2021 Administrators Posted October 29, 2021 Actually this is not a marketing message that would offer you another product to purchase, renewal for a good price, etc. It concerns upgrade to v15 and the change of the portal my.eset.com to ESET HOME. It's displayed just once.
mads 0 Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 same problem here. yesterday for the first time a marketing message popped up trying to sell something that i already have. for me this is the dumbest way to advertise - and it annoyes immensely. a reason to consider getting another product. on my complaint i got an immediate reaction showing how to turn these messages off - good. but they should not be turned on in the first place.

With IPM messages disabled you should not get any marketing offers to renew or to get another product, etc.
mads 0 Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 i had never turned ipm messages on. looks like this got changed with the update to v15 because this was the first time i ever got a marketing message.
Administrators Marcos 5,466 Posted October 29, 2021 Administrators Posted October 29, 2021 By default it depends on the country and local legislation if IPM messages are allowed or not. Disabling IPM should prevent receiving further marketing messages.

It's displayed just once. i'm sorry but no, it is not displayed "just once", i have seen this MULTIPLE times now, hence my frustration and message to the forums, if it were just once I would have dismissed it and gone on with my day an "upgrade" is still marketing is it not? an email that I could easily ignore (hell I probably got an email I promptly ignored) is one thing but this is another I get when upgrades happen there is a change log that is displayed that shows what has updated, i appreciate that but this is not that, this is a notification advertising a service that will not go away until i actively close it
ESET Insiders Minimalist 16 Posted October 29, 2021 ESET Insiders Posted October 29, 2021 I installed today EIS from scratch and after installation, after I opened it's interface I got message in Home screen about ESET Home. I clicked on Do not remind me again. During initial scan I got another message the same as one shown in first post. IMO it should not be displayed since I used Do not remind me again option displayed in home screen.
ESET Insiders Minimalist 16 Posted November 1, 2021 ESET Insiders Posted November 1, 2021 Today I noticed new section News, which ATM also promotes ESET Home:
Administrators Marcos 5,466 Posted November 1, 2021 Administrators Posted November 1, 2021 The above is not a marketing message. Moreover, it appears in the News section and not as a pop-up so it doesn't distract you.

I am asking for a friend. Kind regards, Katzi

Likely. It all depends on how a message is created by our partners or ESET HQ. It can be restricted to specific versions, languages, countries, etc.
ESET Insiders Minimalist 16 Posted November 16, 2021 ESET Insiders Posted November 16, 2021 Today I reinstalled product using installer from my ESET Home. I got auto connected during installation. After install when scan started I got message from OP. Maybe it could be tweaked so it's not shown if application is already connected to ESET Home?
