How does shareware work?

I want to download Symantec Antivirus and it is free as shareware but costs x amount if you buy it.

freeware = free forever

If you talk about shareware .I need to say some thing it is a a software download with some days trail version .

Shareware tends to come in one of two categories:



- Limited feature set, forever



- Unlimited feature set, limitied time of use



An example given above is graphics software - one I have seen (many years ago, cannot remember the name of it) would let you do everything for an unlimited time, but every image that was eventually produced had a watermakr of the company over it, so it could not be used for anything other than trying out the software.



As an alternate to Symantec Antivuris, why not use AVG? It has enough features (ie email scanning, automatic updates, etc) for personal use, and is available free of monetary charge (but it is closed source). The link below will take you to the AVG download page (and explain what you do and don't get for the free version).
shareware is usually limited in its use as the free version.
