Thanks so much for forgiving my stupidity. I&#039;ll never ever even think of doing it again. I believe in the Buddha too and have always had a copy of the Dhamma-Padda with me. Although the internet is a great place to post, monkeying around was the most stupid thing I&#039;ve ever done and completely out of character and I won&#039;t ever do it again.

I received the upgrade and the Suite is fantastic. Actually Vista runs faster and smoother for me with the Suite than with the stand alone AV. Also pages load faster and with no errors. I thnk the inbuilt firewall was causing problems for me on some sites.

Thanks and again I&#039;m most sorry for being a real pain to you all.</description>

		<description>You should be thankful the owner of ESET Australia is a better Buddhist than I am &quot;Dave&quot;. To my shame, I am not so forgiving by nature, but I will follow his example and accept your apology in the spirit you made it. Perhaps we all should. It took balls to step up to the plate and confess your stupidity.

It looks like the free ESS upgrade is all systems go. It&#039;s not announced on the website, but my sister in Perth was told she could download ESS with her old NOD32 password. She did, and it worked.</description>

		<description>Yes, I note that the upgrade offer is on the site. I hope you all will forgive me but if you don&#039;t then I&#039;ll understand.</description>

		<description>Let me please clarify a few things with all of you.

Firstly. NOD 32 is the very best Anti-Virus in the world that I have ever used and I have the greatest respect for the program and company. Since moving to Vista I haven&#039;t had even one infiltration and it doesn&#039;t take up many resources.

Next, allow me to offer my sincerest apologies to Eset Australia as well as the users here for what I have posted. I never intended it to be anything malicious but apparently I have upset Eset Australia and a lot of people here whom I really had no intention of hurting or upsetting. For that I offer my sincerest and humblest apologies and promise that I will not continue posting in this fashion again.

If possible can my posts here which are critical or offensive to Eset and others please be deleted as they do not constitute my real opinion and were only stupid comments made in jest without any proper consideration or thought.

I rang Eset Australia to renew my license and apologised sincerely and they accepted and I also offer my apologies here and hope that it will be also accepted.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve changed my opinion of you &quot;Dave&quot;. You&#039;re not a professional nitwit, you&#039;re a professional buffoon. And an idiot. And a liar.

&quot;Stan&quot; was right. Everyone who reads your irrational anti-ESET diatribes can see you DO have a hidden agenda in relation to ESET. 

If ESET&#039;s free upgrade offer had been nothing but an advertising gimmick the security forums would be flooded with complaints, but they&#039;re not. You&#039;re alone in the world pushing that lie. 

No-one believes the &quot;ESET promised something and didn’t deliver&quot; crap you&#039;ve been pushing for months either. It&#039;s another lie. 

People all over the Web, including some right here on this page, are saying they&#039;ve received the free upgrade, but you keep saying you can&#039;t get it. I suppose ESET could have blocked YOUR upgrade for behaving like such an asshole, but I think it&#039;s more likely that you&#039;re lying about trying just so you can keep your spiteful one man anti-ESET campaign running.  

Think hard with your &quot;reasonable mind&quot; before you respond. You&#039;re out of your intellectual depth in this blog, and you&#039;ll only make yourself look even more foolish than you already have if you come back with more of your immature drivel. Admit your lies and start telling the TRUTH for a change.</description>

		<description>Is &quot;fanatics&quot; the new word you learned today? 

Eset has NOT broken their promise and they DO deliver if you approach them in a reasonable manner. I&#039;VE HAD THE UPGRADE FOR 8 WEEKS! 

Your idiotic ranting and persistent lies about Eset are probably why they didn&#039;t give YOU one, and I can understand that. I wouldn&#039;t give you one either!</description>

		<description>Say what you will you fanatical gooses. I&#039;ll buy the Security Suite if I want it. You bunch are worse than Al Qaeda with minds that are as shut as a dark underground cave is from the outside world.

Anyone and everyone knows that Eset fanatics are shut-minded insultive, abusive and very unreasonable people who get very upset when you criticise their darling Eset.

They broke a promise and that is what I&#039;m on about. Why should every ratbag company lure us in with tempting &#039;free offers&#039; which are nothing but a gimmick to advertise their product for free, and then pull the plug at the last moment?

You&#039;re all fanatics because you haven&#039;t got a sense of &#039;reasoning&#039;. Reasoning minds don&#039;t get carried away like you&#039;re fanatical minds which abuses and insults those whose opinions are contrary to what your small minds can comprehend. I feel sorry for you fanatics because you can&#039;t think with your own brains, see with your own eyes or hear with your own ears. You are the &#039;get on the bandwagon&#039; type of fanatics who can&#039;t see what is as clear as day - Eset made a promise and broke it. 

You can&#039;t face facts that Eset promised something and didn&#039;t deliver. 

Your fanatics are all getting so defensive and even abusive that it is impossible to even have a rational conversation with you. Such are Eset fanatics. Ask over the internet. You fanatics have a reputation for being really stuck up and not being man enough to cop criticism. I think you are all a bunch of sissys because you can&#039;t handle criticism without becoming  abusive.</description>

		<description>Come on guys, no-one could genuinely be so angry about missing out on a a free offer worth a couple of dollars. Dave clearly has a hidden agenda with regard to ESET and is using the upgrade as an excuse and Long&#039;s blog as a sounding board to cause trouble for them. Don&#039;t let him manipulate you into turning the blog into a battleground. He won&#039;t shut up and go away but ignore the silly bugger anyway. Ratbags ( (c) Maximum Headspace ) hate being ignored.</description>

		<description>@Dave: 
Following Hennig&#039;s lead I went and tracked your snail trail around the Web to learn just what sort of an imbecile would make posts like yours and risk being sued for libel. 

Unless I&#039;m missing something, Eset (surprisingly) hasn&#039;t attacked or even replied to any of your scurrilous posts. 

However you have been kicked up the arse several times by people who can see through your bullshit, and now I&#039;m one of them.

Do you see anyone else constantly snot dribbling about the delay? You&#039;ll get the free Smart Security Suite upgrade at the same time as everyone else. 

You&#039;ve exposed yourself as a greedy puke over an upgrade that will be worth a few dollars at most. Now stand in line, or shut up and piss off with your whingeing.
