ESET product lineup: which security software do you need?
ESET offers three main products for home users in New Zealand. NOD32 Antivirus is the entry-level option β basic malware protection with low system impact. Internet Security adds firewall, anti-spam and banking protection. Smart Security Premium includes everything plus password manager, encrypted storage and anti-theft for laptops.
| Product | Antivirus | Firewall | Banking protection | Password manager |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NOD32 Antivirus | Yes | No | No | No |
| Internet Security | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Smart Security Premium | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Free 30-day trial for all ESET products
Every ESET product has a fully functional 30-day free trial β no credit card required. You get the complete product with all features. After 30 days, you need to purchase a licence to continue receiving updates. The trial is the best way to determine if ESET works well with your system.
Discounts: multi-year and multi-device savings
ESET pricing decreases significantly with multi-year licences. A 2-year licence costs roughly 40% less per year than a 1-year licence. A 3-year licence saves approximately 50% per year. Multi-device packs (3, 5 or 10 devices) also reduce the per-device cost.
| Licence type | Savings vs 1-year | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year, 1 device | Base price | Trying ESET for the first time |
| 2 years, 1 device | ~40% per year | Committed single-user |
| 1 year, 3 devices | ~20% per device | Family with multiple devices |
| 2 years, 5 devices | Best value | Family with long-term needs |

ESET for business in New Zealand
ESET also offers business-grade products (ESET Protect) for small to medium businesses. Business licences include centralised management, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and cloud-based admin console. Pricing depends on the number of endpoints and the feature tier.
Renewal pricing: usually more expensive than new licences
ESET renewal prices are typically higher than new licence prices. When your licence expires, check the ESET website for new purchase deals β they often discount new licences more than renewals. You can install the new licence over the existing installation without losing settings.
