It should be noted that if you are running Windows Vista with User Account Control (UAC) turned on, you may be prompted with additional dialog boxes not shown in the steps below. If prompted, please confirm that you wish to install ESET Smart Security, as well as any associated device drivers.
1.
To begin your installation, double-click the ESET Smart Security installer icon or insert the installation disk. If you are prompted by Windows to open the file, click Open. If you have an installation CD, click Install.

The Installation Mode window will appear. Select Typical and then click Next to continue.

(NOTE: Please enter your username and password exactly as they are written in your ESET registration email. The username is in the format EAV-99999999 and the hyphen is required. Both the username and password are case sensitive. The password should be ten characters long and all lowercase. If you are copying and pasting, make sure a blank character is not being included in the string. Also, we do not use the letter L in passwords (use the number one (1) instead), a big 0 is the number zero (0), a little o is the letter o.)
