ESET’s business offering for Windows, ESET Endpoint Security 7.3, and its Windows consumer product, ESET Internet Security 14.0, achieved perfect scores in the Protection, Usability and Performance categories, leading both to be commended with Top Product awards in the November and December 2020 tests. This follows ESET’s success in AV-TEST’s August and October reports, in which ESET Endpoint Security 7.3 and ESET Internet Security 13.2 also received Top Product awards.
