you don&#39;t need to buy it
you just have to reinstall it every 30 days

you just have to uninstall, reboot, run a regcleaner
then reinstall nod32 and reboot

takes 5 minutes

WHAT IS THE BEST ANTIVIRUS

There is no single &#39;best&#39; antivirus product available they all have pros and cons. (ie thoroughness / resource usage / speed of checking)

Judging by many, many previous votes on this topic the most popular in order are:
(NB all links point to homepages, for &#39;free&#39; illegal copies search the verified hashes section)

1) Norton Antivirus This is the most popular and is definitely always among the front runners in tests of virus detection and removal. It is, however, considered by some to be a bit of a resource hog.
2) AVG This is close behind in popularity probably because it is free and in reviews of % detection it is usually ever so slightly behind Norton. No need for an illegal copy unless u want the pro version.

Lagging quite a way behind in popularity, though usually not in speed and thoroughness are

NOD32 A very impressive 5 year run of 100% detection of &#39;wild&#39; viruses (from virus bulletin) and apparently low resource usage.
Kaspersky Lite / Pro
Trend micro PC cillin
Mcafee Virus scanner
Free AV (free)
Avast free and non free versions
Fire AV free & non free antivirus packages (Note free version will find but not remove viruses, which sucks)
EZ Antivirus low resource using virus scanner, for a fairly low price.
Norman Antivirus
