About help

This Installation guide was written to help with the installation and upgrade of ESET PROTECT and provides instructions for the process.

For consistency and to help prevent confusion, the terminology used throughout this guide is based on the ESET PROTECT parameter names. We also use a set of symbols to highlight topics of particular interest or significance.

Notes can provide valuable information, such as specific features or a link to a related topic.


important

This requires your attention and it should not be skipped. Usually, it provides non-critical but significant information.

Online Help is the primary source of help content. The latest version of Online Help will automatically be displayed when you have a working internet connection. The ESET PROTECT online help pages include four active tabs at the top navigation header: Installation/Upgrade, Administration, VA Deployment and SMB guide.

Topics in this guide are divided into several chapters and sub-chapters. You can find relevant information by using the search field at the top.


important

Once you open a User Guide from the navigation bar at the top of the page, search will be limited to the contents of that guide. For example, if you open the Administrator guide, topics from the Installation/Upgrade and VA Deployment guides will not be included in search results.

 

The ESET Knowledgebase contains answers to the most frequently asked questions, as well as recommended solutions for various issues. Regularly updated by ESET technical specialists, the Knowledgebase is the most powerful tool for resolving various types of problems.
