I assume you are talking about the free version, AntiVir
PersonalEdition. Is it crippled in any way?

Version 6 wasn't. I have read that version 7 has a nag screen when
making updates but some people have figured out how to disable that.

I suggested AntiVir because some tests show it to detect better than
the other two free ones.
