Remember :

- Any single AV will not detect all Viruses / Trojans / Worms / Spywares etc..
- Good AV will be free in limited manner (its their business after all)
- Spywares / malwares come before AVs are programmed
- All AVs need to be updated regularly (hence pirated has limitations)
- With any AV, you will need to keep a check on Abnormal registry's happening in your system (that's the way you know you are being infected)

I am quite satisfied with Kaspersky and Avast which i use in combination with ThreatFire (the best to trace your system processes).

I got a 3 machine license key of 1 yr validity for Rs. 800 few months back... Ask your vendor... u might even get it for less...
Its true....But when u install pirated version & use the keys...after updating the anti virus....u will get a message saying that the key is blacklisted.

Its better to buy a genuine one. I bought a 3 machine license key for 1 year validitiy for Rs 600 from ebay....

Actually I never tried Thretfire. But seeing the comparison of the two versions there isn't anything special in the paid version. Just some features people don't need.
