Not if you delete it when the trial period is up and install it again. I suppose it's piracy, but

Well, back to the original post.  NIS is gone, YIPPEE!!!!!   

PC is pootering along very nicely with the freeware, quicker than with NIS bloatware.   All links between apps seem to be working again.

I'm now running Zonealarm firewall, AVG antivirus and Ad Awre Pesonal sypware removal tool.

All three are free.

ESET is free too! And it's the best of the lot. I'm sure Polar Bear would have managed to install it by now if he had a keyboard adapted to his grotesque claws.
