I have been using ESET for quite some time, up to now I have found it

the past that was that this time it requires me to input data to keep it
going. Why? Surely it should be a simple means of renewing and paying
the money, I object to having to jumps through hoops of ESET's making,
it has renewed in the past with no problems. So a question is there a
good alternative at about the same price? £40.00

Why not use free MS Defender? I occasionally use Malwarebytes, again free.
