depends on the software.
If you're looking for a good, free anti-virus solution for home use, try AVG by grisoft - it's as good as Norton and McAfee, and free. I use their commercial version at work, and the free version at home. The only difference is the commercial version has more tools for scheduling and to clean up if something gets through, while the free version doesn't.
I've been using the free version for 5 years now, and not a single thing has gotten through.

Sure, you can sign on just don't download anything. Simply surfing the net doesnt' generally expose you to viruses, it's the file downloads, email attachements that sort of thing that get you into trouble.. But if you want a GREAT A/V that's free for a year try out CA's etrust. http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft
(I don't work for them, but use it a lot for my clients)

Usually no problem , but not in all case, it depends on the software you use. For example the one you have wont allow you to have a update on virus database in trial versions you are on risk. They wont be having any info about newly created bugs and you will be in danger. But if they allow free update it s some wat okie . But wat you will do if it expires ??? So try to get a full one

a trial version of an incomplete antivirus program is not a good idea. sounds like it won't be stopping all viruses.

Yes, but be careful.
