Hi Eda,

Now what I don't understand from the above is "is a FREE antivirus
software for home noncommercial use" and "You may download the TRIAL
version here" (emphasis by me). Now is it free and a full version, or
is it a trial with some limitations (time limited for instance)?

Regards
Dick

It looks like it's just register/liteware, Dick, rather than time
limited trialware as we know it. As for its liteness, I found this
on the site:

I didn't find anything about it timing out, but others are certainly
encouraged to check my work.

It's servicable, one of the major freeware alternatives to AVG and
Antivir, if you need on access scanning.
