• ESET Technical Support has advised you to enable pre-release updates to resolve an issue with your product
• Switch back to a regular update

Pre-release updates are updates that have been thoroughly tested and will be released soon. Enabling pre-release updates gives access to the most recent detection methods and fixes; however, pre-release updates might not be stable enough at all times, so you should always revert to using normal updates once an issue is resolved.
