If you can get a friend or family member to chip in with you, and they need anti-virus as well, then by far the best bang for your buck is by purchasing the 5-device ($7/device/year) or 10-device ($4.50/device/year) pack.   Otherwise, you can purchase the $19.99 single-device package from Norton directly, and turn off the auto-renewal immediately after purchasing.  You'll just have to buy another key-card or purchase again when your expiration date nears.

For those that are seriously pressed for cash, this option may or may not work for you.  It's slightly more complicated if you already have Norton installed on your computer.
There is a 180-day trial available, and it will work for Windows versions up to Windows 7.  Here are the steps.
  - If Norton is installed, then go to Control Panel, and Add/Remove Programs.  Uninstall Norton from there.
  - If you removed Norton, then you'll also need to run the [[ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe|Norton Removal Tool]] after you restart. 
  - Download [[http://haugtech.com/dl/norton180.exe|this installer file]], and run it.  It will likely need to update many times after installed, and you will need to provide your e-mail address (or sign in with an existing Norton account).  Be sure not to skip signing in with your e-mail address because it is less likely to work if you don't.
  - Restart your computer several times, each time opening Norton and clicking on LiveUpdate.  Keep doing so until the updates are all completed.
  - If all goes well, you should have 180-days remaining on your Norton Antivirus license!
