Category: For Ghanaians

Gone were the days we will have to go to the central market to buy the things we need, you might be busy but still needs some goods and there is absolutely no one to send.

It is either you skip what you are doing and go outside and buy or send someone to get it for you, sometimes at a fee.

With the help of the internet, things have changed, now you can buy anything you want online from these online shopping websites and get it delivered to you at your doorstep.

I must say online shopping in Ghana has been of help, ever since I started buying things online, you get to order all the things you need and get it delivered to you.

Online shopping is indeed helping us and making us save time but one needs to be careful because there are a lot of fake websites that claim to be online shopping sites but are not, some will also not bring you the same item you ordered.

Here are 5 online shopping websites you can use in Ghana to buy things online:

1. MelcomOnline.com

Alibaba.com

Alibaba is one of the popular e-commerce websites in the world and right now they have a branch here in Ghana, one reason I love Alibaba is that they protect the buyer.

what do I mean by they protect the buyer?

Anytime you make a payment on Alibaba, payment is not released to the seller unless you receive the item you ordered and then confirm before the seller can get the money.

If the item sent to you is not what you ordered for, you can notify the website and you will get a refund.

When it comes to the internet, personal data and electronic devices, especially those that communicate over the internet, security is a major concern.

It’s not surprising to know someone that has been a victim of virus attack on their Personal Computers, mobile phones or Macbook. In fact, most people have devices that have been affected by one form of malware or the other and they don’t even know it.

For a long time, I have used solutions from ESET to protect my devices, especially my work computer which I use to access the internet every day.

My first encounter with ESET

Way back in 2011, I was working in an Internet Cafe at Teshie, a suburb of Accra. The Cafe owner had installed ESET Nod 32 Antivirus on all the 12 computers that were there at the time including the server that was used for the internet cafe’s administration.

At that time, I was used to a lot of “free antivirus” solutions and wondered why we had to use a solution that was not free.

That was made clear to me soon enough.

According to a customer of the internet cafe, the reason he loved to visit us was that anytime he brought his USB Drive to the cafe, there were no viruses on it when he went back home. Other cafes in the vicinity would usually infect his flash drive.

It’s important to note from this story that a good security solution, like the one ESET, provides gives you or your business the peace of mind you deserve.

Why I love ESET

I currently use ESET Internet Security on my work Windows laptop and I’m loving it. Let me walk you through why I love that my laptop is protected by ESET.

Ease of Use

When it comes to downloading and installing ESET, the process is fast and fluid. The initial download file is less than 5MB. All you need to do is go to the official website, choose the product you want and download it.

Once you have installed and chosen a trial or used a license (we are giving away some licenses below), ESET starts to scan your files and protect your device.

With ESET, you simply install it and never have to go back to tweak lots of settings.

Performance

A lot of antiviruses and other security software end up slowing your computer and sometimes making it unusable.

ESET doesn’t do that.

ESET requires just about a 100 MB of Ram to operate efficiently and uses less than 700MB of disk space. It adds at most 3 processes to the list of tasks running on your machine.

Due to this, after installing ESET, your machine will be secured, while continuing to run fast.

Reliable Malware Protection

ESET will find the latest worldwide threats and upgrade your protection automatically. Even if it is a threat that has never been seen before, ESET uses DNA scanning to automatically alert you of the threat.

ESET is built on trust, standards, and transparency, the reason why they have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

This means ESET will not steal your data or leave your device to be compromised in any way.

Who can use ESET Security Products

ESET has crafted out a number of solutions for almost everyone. Ranging from Individuals in Ghana to startups, small businesses, banks and other corporations, there is a solution for everyone.

The fact that solutions have been tailored for almost every reasonable use case makes it even more fulfilling.

Here is a list of some of ESET Security Products in Ghana and who it is tailored for.

CITSYS Store, ESET Partners in Ghana

Over the years, it has been very difficult to get ESET license keys here in Ghana as people didn’t know of any ESET Ghana Store.

ESET has however been the security solution I have personally recommended to hundreds of my friends and acquaintances.

However, a lot of people had complained that after the trial period, they couldn’t get any license keys.

Well, I have good news.

Recently, I came by a store in Accra, Ghana that sells all ESET keys, as well as provides other IT services.
