Best to check some of these out by trialing them on your computer and see which one suits you.

If you live in the United Kingdom, France, or Germany, you can get Norman Virus Control free with a one year license.

It's a full version, not a demo, according to that page. I don't live in any of those countries, so can't get it to see if it's a legitimate deal.

I dont live there neither ;D.

Oh and thx for the info guys.

The norman AV offer seems a bit of a con as you have to agree to download and install optistat survey programme which sends data of your browsing habits basically.
