Since malware often disguise as a crack, keygen, etc. you should avoid using them regardless of whether it's for antivirus or another application.

Just buy an ESET license, its worth the small investment

besides, you wont be able to connect to the cracked anti-virus update servers which means no virus definition updates which means you wont be protected against new threaths. virusses evolve, and thus so needs your anti-virus to properly protect your PC.

Even if you find a cracked Antivirus which will work , just don't use it , since it was possible to reverse engineer it and crack the activation method , malware developers have no issue to do the same to that antivirus to bypass it.

These days unlike before you won't find a cracked AVs , you will find leaked licenses which will get banned by the time when they are found , which isn't good and it's illegal.

best option is to buy ESET , otherwise if you want a free alternative , there are few on Google can be found or you can stick with Windows Defender which is also free.

Yeah as mentioned above using a cracked license is always risky.

Firstly you don't know what is in the cracks. Could be infected and spying on you, stealing information. 

If it is a leaked license it will also get blocked and in both cases technical support won't be available because you don't have a legitimate license.
