You can transfer your ESET NOD32 Antivirus license to macOS.
Antivirus and Antispyware
Provides proactive protection against all types of online and offline threats and prevents malware spreading to other users.
Anti-Phishing
Protects your privacy and assets against attempts by fraudulent websites to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords or banking details, or feed you fake news from seemingly reputable sources. Protects you from homoglyph attacks (replacing characters in links with ones that look similar but are actually different).
Advanced Machine Learning
In addition to ESET Machine Learning in the cloud, this proactive layer runs locally. It is specifically designed to detect advanced, never-before-seen malware, while having a low impact on performance.
Exploit Blocker
Blocks attacks specifically designed to evade antivirus detection, and eliminates lockscreens and ransomware. Protects against attacks on web browsers, PDF readers and other applications, including Java-based software.
Advanced Memory Scanner
Enables improved detection of persistent malware that employs multiple layers of encryption to conceal its activity.
Cloud-Powered Scanning
Speeds up scans by whitelisting safe files based on the ESET LiveGrid® file reputation database. Helps to proactively stop unknown malware based on its behavior, by comparing it with our cloud-based reputation system.
Scan While Downloading Files
Decreases scanning time by scanning specific file types—such as archives—during the download process.
Idle-State Scanning
Aids system performance by performing in-depth scans when your computer is not in use. Helps detect potential inactive threats before they can cause damage
Device Control
Allows you to prevent unauthorized copying of your private data to external devices. Allows you to block storage media – CDs, DVDs, USB sticks and disk storage devices. Lets you block devices connecting via Bluetooth, FireWire and serial/parallel ports.
Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS)
Lets you customize the behavior of the system in greater detail, with a focus on behavioral detection. Gives you the option to specify rules for system registry, active processes and programs in order to fine-tune your security posture. Employs the latest tracing capabilities to scan parts of memory that can be modified by sophisticated malware injection techniques.
Script-Based Attack Protection
Detects attacks by malicious scripts that try to exploit Windows PowerShell. Also detects malicious JavaScripts that can attack via your browser. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge browsers are all supported.
Ransomware Shield
Blocks malware that tries to lock you out of your personal data and then asks you to pay a ‘ransom’ to unlock it.
Intel® Threat Detection Technology
Boosts ransomware protection by integrating Intel’s hardware-based ransomware detection technology. It exposes ransomware as it attempts to avoid detection in memory. This collaboration allows us to use Intel® TDT machine learning models to assist with the detection of ransomware while keeping overall system performance high due to off-loading these processing demands to the Intel integrated graphics controller (GPU).
UEFI Scanner
Protects from threats that attack your computer on a deeper level, even before Windows starts – on systems with the UEFI system interface.
WMI Scanner
Looks for references to infected files or malware embedded as data in Windows Management Instrumentation, a set of tools that manages devices and applications in a Windows environment.
System Registry Scanner
Looks for references to infected files or malware embedded as data in the Windows System Registry, a hierarchical database that stores low-level settings for the Microsoft Windows operating system and for applications that opt to use the registry.

Pros: Block programs from hogging internet from just few days i have had Overall Review: Block programs from hogging internet from just few days i have had
Jason S. –
Pros: No noticeable impact on system resources. Constantly micro update definitions. Cons: AV only (which is what I want) no firewall, vpn, cloudbackup, etc. Overall Review: If your looking for a good, resource light AV, consider this product. Need to look at their full suite or other product if your looking for a complete internet protection.
Mike Cain –
Overall Review: I was looking for an antivirus that used less ram than Windows Defender. Eset Nod32 uses about a third less. Newegg had a very good price. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase.
