Is NOD32 antivirus freeware?

[GetBakedTonight 0]

I was casting about for good, free antivirus software on known serious, non-commercial sites (Toms guide etc) and NOD32 kept popping up.
So I installed and first scan is in progress.What prompted the question is this ominous nag: Buy License - Your free trial expires in 29 days.
Yes, I took pains to register the free version - now this?

Thank you.

ESET doesn't provide freeware products. For home users, we provide 30-day trial versions. After the trial period, users must either uninstall it or purchase a license.

For mobile devices with Android, we provide ESET Mobile Security that can work with certain limitations in freemium mode or you can purchase a license to activate advanced features.
