Trial = not freeware

Their homepage says:
avast! Virus Cleaner - free virus & worm removal tool

So, it is just a removal tool for specific worms which is indeed free.
(I am testing it - it is like Stinger from NAI)

The full version is registerware, as is stated here:
http://www.avast.com/i_idt_226.html
| ALWIL Software, the producer of avast! together with its main
| distributor ALWIL Trade have decided that since 1. June 2001 avast!
| will be free of charge for home users which do not use their computer
