Hi,
Firstly i will suggest you not to use any crack version of any antivirus or other software. It is the violation of copyright law and a risk for your security as well. You can get numerous discount offer on antivirus products from various companies. But you can also look for free version of antivirus software which are shareware by the concerning product company. For you ease, i have attached a link in the source box from google search result. You can check and get recommended free antivirus software from there.
