PowerSpec computers come with 90 days of ESET antivirus. Unlike other brands, PowerSpec does not pre-install ESET in case you prefer to run a different antivirus program, but your system will come with the ESET Activation Helper tool to help you activate and install ESET. Whether you want to run ESET or not, we do strongly advise having some type of antivirus software on your system. If you want to take advantage of the 90 days of ESET, follow these steps:Using the Activation Helper1. When you boot your PowerSpec computer for the first time, the ESET Activation Helper window will appear automatically. Select I want to activate and install now. 2. This will open a new window on your computer with the ESET activation form. Fill out all the required fields including the serial number of your PowerSpec computer.
